my friend borrowed my car and ran a red light . .
one of those ones with a camera

and they charged me for the ticket, so i appealed

and they charged him for the ticket, but $800 to me for sme bullshit court fee

Ha. I've never gotten one, not having my driver's license yet, but here's a story for ya.

So there are these huge hills in my town, in quick succession, so driving them is like a roller coaster. They're fucking huge. They're called the camel humps, and they're shaped about the same. That's how steep they are. Up, down, up down. At the top of the second hill, it goes to a school zone, 20 mile an hour speed limit. By the bottom of that hill, most people are goiing about 60. My friend went 60 over the top, and caught air. There was a cop at the bottom. He got a $900 ticket. Triple the speed limit in a school zone, and reckless driving for going airborne. Man did he get owned.

Ha, thats legal here in vegas. I do it all the time.




I got busted for I think it was 75 er so in a 60 in cali. the funny thing is the ticket was only like $111. so I just paid it. but it seemed cheap to me, compared to michigan tickets.

When i was in Germany [both in 2001 and 2003] , my friends and I were drinking in the streets and our german friends brought us in front of the police station and said the cops couldn't do anything cause it was legal! that was cool, drinkin' right in front of a cop, on the street.

$100 for a seatbelt ticket? Where the fuck do you live, Purgatory?

When I was coming home from a carshow on the Turnpike the one day I stopped to get some gas and my dad went in to pay the bill, while I washed my windows off. When he was in there he overheard a state trooper talking to the tenant about these two guys on bikes, he clocked them going 160+ MPH.

Apparently he radioed ahead and had other cops block off both lanes of the highway, slowing traffic, so they could catch these guys. Once they got them they didn't even get a ticket, they landed on the "go directly to jail" space.

you lot sure do get lenient penalties. The guy next to me at work got done for 139 km/h in a 100 zone. On the spot Aus$595 fine (about US$400). then about a month later he gets a letter telling him that his licence will be suspended for 3 months. i think he'll slow down a little in future

was doing 105 in 65.

didn't get arrested fortunately. it was a reckless driving, so i wasn't qualified to go to traffic school and got 2 points and the fine was $330.

Yeah, in many states 20-25 over the limit is legal grounds for being thrown in jail. In some, 3 tickets within 2 years is sufficient for getting your license suspended. I had 4 tickets in the second half of 2003, and as mentioned before, didn't get arrested for doing 80 OVER the limit one day. I'm ultra lucky
