Speeding ticket
Have you guys ever gotten a speeding ticket? How fast were you going? How much was the ticket? Reason im asking is because I just got my FIRST ticket and I was ready to have a one<on>one boxing match with the officer. I had my cruise control set at 65 mph and I saw the sign that said it was changing to 50 but I paid no attention until I come down a hill and there he is. I treated him with respect and I told him I know I was doing 65 in a 50. He told me that I was doing 66 in a 50. I know it doesnt seem like a big difference but they categorize the mph that you are over by 5 and by him saying I was 16 (not 15) I would have to pay more... I told him that he needs his radar gun recalibrated and he told.me, NO!!! You need your car recalibrated because those rims throw off your actual speed. I looked at him and said do you want to drive it and ill shoot the radar at you and see,? and if your speeding im gonna give you a ticket too. He said, sir I cant argue once the ticket is printed... I snatched the ticket and my info and sped away. Should I fight this ticket? He seemed confident that I was going 16 over, but I know my odometer is right...

I was pulled over for 57 in a 20 a few years ago complete bs, the officer who pulled me over didnt get along with me very well, but it cost me 460$, but always fight a ticket, cuz most of the time u can get it to a lesser infraction on ur license so u dont get points but ull still have to pay the fine for the speeding ticket

Wow! $460, they might as well put out a warrant for my arrest lol I forgot to add that it was for $127. On the back there is a section for first timers and I called the number and they said I can take a 4 hour class for $30 to keep it off of my driving record and insurance.

Yeah for 37 over it was expensive but the judge lowered it to 25 sence it was my first ticket but i got 4 pionts & well thats not too bad especially if they offer a class to keep it off your record

My worst offense was a 115 in a 65, the officer cut me down to an 85 in a 65 so I could keep my license. He also said I was allowed to fight it, but he already cut me such a break, I just paid it.
You can fight it, say how he was sitting at the bottom of a hill, etc. etc. You can also prove that your rims don't throw your speedo off if you can prove that the overall diameter is equal to the stock one.

The Officer that gave me my ticket is now in prison, so sometimes bad cops get wat they deserve

3 yrs ago in my Burban I was doing like 75 or so in a 65 and when he pulled me over he told me I was doing 91 then he tried to use the rim size too at the time I had 20's on 275/55R20 long story short it cost me about $729. I would try and fight it all they can do is say yes or no might get lucky and he might not be able to show !
