Cop Lights me Up Today

Tickets like that are so easy to fight in court. Just explain so kind of error that could easily add a few MPH to the reading in radar and it will have to be dismissed.

He gets off his bike, lifts up his pants, and takes off his motorcycle hat...and this huge FRO pops out ...I was like...oh sh*t.... he ends up writing me a ticket for 4 mph over the speed limit! I wanted to laugh and say....thats it...you write tickets for 4 mph over the limit...but just bit my tongue...im sure he would have tried to wrote me more violations if I said anything....ticket for "not enough air in my tire" or something of that nature

Well . . . kind of. Except in my experience your going to pay something. Every small town ticket I've fought and had dismissed was negotiated to court costs. No big deal to me since I'll pay to dodge the points but if your really trying to get away scott free it doesn't really work. Judges are not impartial in small Texas towns.

Had another scare today. Was reacing a point where a two-lane road expands to 4. Speed limit is 45, but at that point, everyone starts drifting up toward 60. This is where i got my last ticket, and STILL I started to let my speed drift up. When I realized I was probably 8 over, I slowed and looked in my mirror. Sure enough, here comes a sheriff deputy, hauling butt toward me. Fortunately, he sped past me and got behind a line of cars. I think he was after a white-and-blue Mustang. It could have been the deputy who ticketed me last -- he and I got to know each other a bit after that. So maybe I caught a break....
