Why not contact an attorney . I got a ticket last month for running a stop sign, it was gonna cost about $200 .Contacted an attorney I use from time to time. He took care of it for $75.00 bucks

80 in a 45 in a construction zone plus 4 more violations.


Came to 2 days in holding, car impounded and about 1200 in fines.



Last time I was ever "THAT" stupid.....before that got 2 tickets from the same officer in the same day..1 before class and one after..not a good day!

Okay long story here...

I got a ticket in southern CA doing like 70 in a 65 or something....I put my copy of the ticket in the glove box and consequently forgot about it for a year or five

almost five years later...Living in AZ the neighbors come to the neighbors house because they were fighting...and as a witness etc they wanna see my ID I grab it and find out that a warrant had been issued in CA for my ticket...original fine of like 140 bucks...but added fines and fees put it up to over 600 bucks....So I get taken to jail...they wouldn't let me hit the ATM, so I sat all night in the drunk tank...wishing I had been drunk... until a friend got off of work and got the money from the bank to pay my fines....

I have not forgotten another ticket since....

Lesson learned....painfully

That is what is wrong with society today. Instead of owning up to your guilty actions you take the easy way out. :-)

So, your saying I should have paid the ticket let go on my record. Then my insurance goes up? In my opinion that would be kind of a dumb move.Thats what attorney's are for.

I guess I should have noted the sarcasim in my comment.... :-)

And a pharter to boot, eh?!? :-)

No worries. I just wanted to head it off "in case." Threads like this in the past on "other" sites have taken unfortunate turns to cop-bashing ... which is something my friends Tom, Dustin, and others don't really like (and by extension, I don't like).

$50....but I haven't had a sppeding ticket since 1982. :-)
[Reply]

Yeah, you and my little baby brother the Sarge! :-)

Last one I got was out near Pearblossom (CA upper desert) and ran me around $400. The radar detector a couple months later was $300. It's probably saved me at least two grand over the last five or six years. I kid not. Unfortunately I have a bit of a lead foot and more HP than I probably should have. :-)

I'm good with that.... :-) I've been a cop for almost 10 yrs... I guess I should have known better... :-)

dont speed in ontario....50 kms over the limit anywhere in the province could net ya a $10,000 fine, road side license suspension and a week of impound for your car(at your expense of course). i guess they got tired of hot roddin around on the highways

The cost of the speeding ticket is nothing compared to what the insurance companies whack you with after the ticket. You're lucky . . . in MA they don't let you go to traffic school on-line or otherwise. You get points for every ticket you receive and your insurance costs go up.

I'd speed like a madman if I wouldn't get whacked by the insurance company. :-)

No kidding. I bet drivers are very patient there, unlike SoCal.

That is about the worst story I've heard today. Jeez. That sucks!!

$80 53 in a 30...dropped to 39 in a 30 on the ticket
[Reply]

Well, my personal best is only about $120, but I know of one that beats everything that I have seen so far. Up by Edmonton, someone got caught doing something like 240kph in a 100 zone on his crotch rocket.....

























$12000 from the judge :-)
