When I got pulled over (for a substantial undisclosed amount of speed higher) my ticket was less money than that.

Mine was $205. That's pretty lame it's so much!

That's what you get for driving a nice looking car :p

Damn that is pretty hefty. I'm guessing the cop didn't knock it down at all from 16 over?

I got my first ticket this past weekend. I got it for a stupid reason. I was going 68 in a 65 with my cruise control set. The road was 4 lanes and 65mph. Then the road merged into two lanes at 55 mph. I forgot to knock my speed down since it was on cruise control, and not more than a mile into the two lanes and 55 mph limit, I met a cop who was right there to get me. They probably sit out there and catch people who do the same mistake I did.

Don't look at it as a fine.. look at it as a premium to be able to speed , makes me less angry that way when it happens

Time to get yourself a radar detector. I've got one that does the trick, unfortunately, a lot of the highway speed enforcement is done by airplane so the cops just wait on the on ramp. Or they use laser which there is no early detection for.

The best detector is obeying the speed limit.

You gotta pay to play

All that other nonsense. Just don't be a fool and cops won't have a reason to pull you over haha.
