You don't want the points, bad for your insurance

 

[WuzzaCBXRider]

At night with radar? Did he catch you under a light? Any other cars or trucks around? Or ... did you actually pass him while he was driving?

 

[Aquaman]

Let this be a lesson...
Next time make sure you are doing at least 140....
He wont bother to turn on his lights....

It costs more to beat the ticket short term, but when you add up the increased insurance rate over the next 3 years, the extra money spent now is well worth it.

I hope you don't have a commercial drivers license. ( if your not worried I'd guess you don't)
Anything 15mph over really scews ya'. Thats why I always ride the speed limit.  

 

[MrGxr]

At night with radar??? How did he know it was you? Could have wind through the trees or a car behind you???

 

[chrisjp]

i was alone...no cars...lol but is ok...my insurance really dont go up by that much even with tickets...state farm ya know

 

[BigDiesel]

you can fight this out yourself if its in your home county- go in tho courthouse, enter a NOT GUILTY plea right now-they then send you a court date for hearing before a trial date will be set (unless you are in a lil town, may go to trial rite away) when you show up, if your record is pretty clean, talk to DA before appearing in front of judge and they will most likely know off points if you are willing to pay fine, maybe attend a traffic school class or two. its worth the hassle, believe me......30+ tix n im not even 30 yet. got my lic. @17...do the math

somehow I still have a lic

 

[schroetf]

sorry you got a bad trooper----
