So this past weekend i got a speeding ticket in Indiana. was doing 75 in a 55. i came up over a hill and didn't even see the cop until it was too late. damn.
$100 ticket, but since i opted for court supervision, it's $160. in'a.
anyone else have a pricey ticket out there? |

last one was 53 @ 35 zone....
Got the tix at Jan and court was at April.........
Talk to solicitor and they lower it to 49 so that they don't take points off or leave a record
Pay 160 bux also |

I just got one on Thursday when I was going 150 in a 100km per hour zone. Got nailed for it, but the cop says he "reduced the speed" at which he fined me.
So I get a ing 140kmph ticket at $295 and 4 demerit points... plus insurance that will skyrocket. |

last one i got was for doing 80mph in a 65mph zone (i was doing 90 but slammed on my brakes when i saw the cop), in Pennsylvania. same deal as you, tubularbills - didn't see the cop til it was too late. he was hiding out behind some trees.
ended up paying a $192 fine to the PA State Police. and kicking myself in the ass because instead of driving from WI to NY i could've bought a plane ticket with that money. |

The thing that's nice about the US, in most states if you get a ticket outside of the state you reside the points don't go against you.
The cops around here now actually get outside of their cruiser, dressed in camo and hide in the bushes with a radar gun. Crazy police. :crazy: |

Yeah, it was all over the news around Memorial Day. I think they got like 75 violators within 2-4 hours. |

Yeah, i slammed on the brakes as well, which he obviously saw. when i got down to 55, i set the cruise control.
the cop followed me for a while because there wasn't a place to pull over....and when he did he said he caught me doing 75. i told him, "officer, my cruise control clearly says i was doing 55". then he asked why i slowed down so fast over the hill. +hosed+. damn!
What boggles me, is that when i go to/from school, i do 80mph or faster on I-80 going back and from Iowa and i never have a problem. but i was on some rinky dink state roadd [IN-41 South] where the speed limit is 55 , not 65 and they get freaked out. ugh. stupid cops. |

:rolleyes: That's kind of a dumb place to speed, don't you think?
I got a ticket for 94 in a 55. Cost me $150, $100 in lawyer's fees, $50 for a class I had to take. In the end, 0 points, no more ticket. I've had several more less-serious tickets, and they all come out to about $250 overall.
Last year a cop let me go for 135 in a 55. It's a valleyed highway, 100% visibility, no on-ramps or off-ramps, zero traffic... nobody to hurt but myself. Didn't even pull me over ;) |
