worst ticket for me was on a united international flight back from japan. i was seated at the very last row of the 747 and passengers kept banging the toilet door shut each time they got out.

result: woke me up every 5-10min the entire 13hrs. :mad:

you were arrested for a variety of assault charges when you landed? :rofl2:

Freshman year of college, January 2008 and I was running late for class. There I was speeding in my little '01 V6 Mustang, went over an overpass on the interstate, and wham, ticket.

One month later I was running late again, same overpass, SAME STATE TROOPER, and a much larger ticket. I can still hear his voice "I pulled you over just last month, apparently you didn't learn your lesson." What an awful feeling.

Just passed my 5 year anniversary :tup:

I had to learn the hard way, NEVER speed when going over an overpass, even when late..

Did 210km/h in a 110km/h on my 03 Celica GT-S.

Ticket came close to $500 and license suspended for 4 months.

I was a retard.

Got pulled over on a suspended license doing 135 in a 35. Told the cop I cut a guy off who honked at me so I gave him the finger. The guy responded buy waving a gun at me, so I took off. My friend Stephanie who was in the car with me played along perfectly with the story. Long story short, after finding out that the cop and I had a lot of mutual friends he threw away tickets he had written me for speeding, driving on a suspended license with knowledge, incorrect address on license, no proof of insurance. Should have gone to jail and lost my license for up to 5 years, but he let Stephanie drive me home.


Sent from my iPizzle using magic and new-fangled science stuff

Thanks for the advice. I'll make sure to do that when the court date arrives. Thank you!

This is exactly what I'm hoping for. Happened to a couple of my friends but since the "sure" thing out there is that you can only take it once per 12 months it kind of brings my hopes down. I'll make sure to ask for Deferred Disposition and ask to take Defensive Driving as well. Thank you!

I've always retained my traffic lawyer long before the court date. They usually file for an extension a couple of times in the hope it will be dismissed.

You mean the lawyer hired asks for an extension of the court date then the judge just dismisses it after?

Worst ticket was "80" in a 65, bumped to 75. I went to court for it (already had been to traffic school in the past two years at that time, I go about every two years it seems, lol).

Probably would have gotten it dropped, but the judge said, "You never did state how fast you really were going." and upheld it.

Live and learn.

I've gotten off with warnings on far worse though, somehow. Pulled over by MCSO for 100 in a 65 (more like 45 since it was an interchange curve) and I played the BS story that I was nervous next to the semi-truck and wanted to get by ASAP.

He told me that he was on his way home and just to drive safe.

The lawyer reschedules it (sometimes multiple times), the cop doesn't show up on the new date, the judge throws it out. Sometimes it works. Other times my lawyer got them to agree to let me take defensive driving when I otherwise couldn't. Mine charges whatever the ticket would have cost me. If you've got a clean driving record you can sometimes talk the judge into it yourself. Wear a suit.

Hmm that makes sense. I've had 2 other citations in the past 5 years but all got dismissed due to Defensive Driving so I guess my record is clean? Idk if it still shows up that I have those on record or not. Hopefully not though. And will do. My court date is March 6th or 8th but I'm going to the court Monday morning to see if I can just try to get away with taking Defensive Driving and if not just that I'll do probation. I'll dress a little more business casual with that :tiphat:

And also thanks for all the help Chuck. I really appreciate it. Helps alot when not alot of people are encouraging about it just telling me I'm pretty much screwed. I like to think there might be a bit of light at the end of the tunnel haha :tup:

I got pulled over doing 105 in a 55, the cop told me he was on another call and he would give me a choice, I take the ticket and pay or I go to jail. I took the ticket and paid. He wrote me the ticket in record time and hauled a** off. There are somethings that happen spur of the moment where the officer may go a different route, just saying.

80mph or faster or 20mph over (whichever comes first) is criminal in these parts and will land you in jail.

Though, we have 75mph speed limits just outside of town. I've not heard how this affects that (since it's okay to go ~9 over without being ticketed most of the time).

All in all, it depends on the situation and the officer. Some are complete dicks (like my friends Dad) and others are the nicest people in the world.

Caught via lidar doing 50 in a 35 leaving work by an angry female officer who had one of her index fingers bitten off by a junkie (lidar guns must not have triggers). It was my first time ever getting pulled over since getting my license (6 years) and she still gave me a ticket.

Saw the magistrate 6 months later and told him I wasn't speeding, and he let me go without asking a single question.

Not a bad ticket, but the worst part was seeing all my coworkers drive by. It's been a year and the "pump your brakes, Speed Racer!" jokes haven't stopped.
