Prayer For Judgement /Stay Squeaky Clean for 3 years... 13 39.39%

Driving Class / Get it behind ya... Go along your way... 20 60.61%

Ok, the back story, I was clocked going 77mph in a 55mph by a state trooper...


I have spoken to my insurance agent, being that I am a (more or less) responsible driver, he gave me 2 alternatives, both will not affect my insurance...



Alternative 1)

Prayer for judgement. This requires a 25 dollar report of driving history, and so long as nothing bad happens for 3 YEARS then it is wiped away, clean...

COST 25.00

Alternative 2)

Driving Class to get ticket changed from a moving violation, to an immobile violation. Class costs 60.00, Ticket cost 80.00, Court cost 220.00..... BUT nothing would be hanging over my head in case I have any bad luck in the next 3 years...

COST 360.00



Before this, my last infraction was 6 years ago, that being said, you never know what may happen in the future...

What would you do?

Slow down. :-)

Rob, I don't know your driving habits, so I voted for choice #2. Besides, you never know what the future holds brother. :-)

LoL Peter.... :-)

I'd go #2, and take it as a lesson learned. Like Mac said, who knows what the future holds :-)

I've Done 2 Driving Classes, Myself. Worth It In The Long Run, IMO.:-)

Crap happens....#2 would be my choice.

Go #1, then lock your car in the garage for 3 years. Savings would be MUCH more than 300 bucks. :-)

I was in this exact same situation about 12 years ago. I chose option 2. But it was only around $180.

Who knows what could happen in 3 years? I'd pay more for a piece of mind. Sure wish Taxachusetts had something like that.

I'd just about do any unholy act to get out of points on my insurance.

I would take the $360 and put in on 13 Black. If you win, you can get all the speeding tickets you want in the next 3 years and just say **** everybody.

1. Slow Down
2. Show up at court. Officer might not be there and it gets throw out. If he is there, present your clean record for the past 6 years and ask for leniency
3. Dammit Slow Down!

I'd roll the bones and go for #1. Slow down and drive responsibly and before you know it the 3 years are up. I'm a gambler and like everyone said, you never know what the future holds. Today might be all of our last days.

Im young guy so its #2 for me for sure.

1. Take option number 2.

2. Either slow down or get a faster car that can outrun copters.
[Reply]

Take the bus.

This about made coffee come out my nose. Did you say that knowing I live less then 30 mins from a casino? and that my favorite game is Roulette? :-) :-)

I just pay the fine, and go my way. As long as I don't have more than one infraction on my record in any running three year period, it doesn't effect my rates. I have a heavy foot, and know it. I generally get a speeding ticket every 3 years or so. I'm actually overdue. If you have nothing on your record, and are generally NOT a speeder, I'd go with the $25 option. For me, It is faster, and overall cheaper to just try and not get more than one ticket every three years.

Good luck!!
