Another ticket thread...

[ChrisSlicks]

I have some experience with Lowell, and if you have had a clean history for the last 3 years then there is a good chance of getting off or having it continued without finding.

There are a few places they regularly camp in Lowell since there are places where there perhaps should be a yield sign instead of a stop sign. The one where I see them nab people all the time is the Industrial Ave exit of the Lowell Connector.

I let my head go forward and back before continuing again.

Yeah I was thinking if the judge can give me a lighter punishment instead of a$150 fine. Like going to driving school or something...

Well, true. I talk to cops because I had some nice officers before and thought a joke might easy the tension. Well yeah, better to keep my mouth shut. And no, my name is not Clayton.

Yeeeeeeeesssssssss! That's the place! The cop was hiding under the bridge... Well, for 13 years driving I only had one speeding ticket 7 years ago, but that didn't help...

Yep, he's there at least once or twice a week. I haven't been nabbed there yet but know lots of people that have, so now I look right as well as left there out of habit and force myself to come to a stop. I've contemplated switching the sign in the dark of night but that would be wrong

Fight it. You'll still have to pay the court costs but will keep the points off which is what really hurts since your driving record is clean.
