Guest The_Monkey Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Got a speeding ticket today. My insurance card just expired (new one probably sitting on my dresser), so got a ticket for that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonick Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Take insurance papers to the clerk of court showing you were covered on that date. They will remove that ticket. I've had to do the same thing in Florida before. As for the speeding ticket, there is something you can do about it, but you risk the chance of pissing the judge off. You can contest it and ask for the calibration logs. Florida requires officers to calibrate their radar at the start of every shift. Most don't and it is electronically logged each time they do for this purpose. If it wasn't calibrated, ticket is dropped. If it was calibrated, judge is pissed and you get the maximum fine. Worth a shot if it's worth it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the ticket for speeding. I'll be paying the fine. I'm not going to risk paying $500 plus court costs when the ticket is $281. That, and I'd have to take off work. Just not worth it. -- F the State Troopers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonick Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I hear ya man. Probably your best bet is to just pay it. Especially if it is that small. Hate seeing those tan and black cars behind me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadlock Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 How fast were you going to get a 281$ ticket? Holy shit. Here's it's 5$/mph over and we tend to get left alone if we're going no more than 5 over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilpest Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Highway Patrol sent me a letter offering me a job, along with a few police departments and sheriffs where I live... Was it a female or male? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CantBeFaded Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I feel your pain. I got a $200 good driving award the night of my grandmothers wake. And the ass kicker is the trooper that wrote me the ticket was at her funeral the next day smiling at me. ( I had to control the urge to rip his skull off his shoulders.)

Guest The_Monkey Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I was driving 85 in a 65...I deserved the ticket. The cop didn't have to be a dick about it though. I was nothing but forthcoming and polite the entire fucking time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonick Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Could be because he was working a Sunday. Could also be the person he had pulled over was a dick and the cop took it out on you. Lol. Never know with those types of things. I am actually surprised it was that low being in Florida. Those troopers are assholes down there.

BranHorse Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I don't know how crowded your courthouse is, but if its anything like the one I had to go to for a registration ticket then It will be quick and painless. Also, why didn't you just shit down his mothers throat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
