First speeding ticket.
 

61 in a 40. I'm not happy by any means but have no one to blame but myself. Just sucks I suppose. I have a court date but have the option just to pay it and I'm leaning more towards going that route.

Yep. Georgia is bad too. I know when my wife and I lived in SC we would frequent Savannah often. I alway stuck to exactly the limit in GA.

The worst part was I didnt realize it, like I wasn't weaving in and out I was just driving, and then all of the sudden BOOM.

Kenneth im sorry you got a ticket bro. good luck with court brother.

Re: First speeding ticket.
 

I am to, I'm more pissed that it's my first after 4 years. But again its my fault. Oh well it was bound to happen sooner or later haha.

How do those radars work anyway when your running them, because the cop was driving in the opposite direction when he nabbed me, is it just a continuous radar?

Re: First speeding ticket.
 

yup. the radar in my car is a 2X which means i can clock people in front and behind me at the same time.

also the radar can read you closing speed (coming at you) or away speed.

and like you found out can do it mobile or stationary.


its never a good day when you get a ticket and all the advise i can offer you is to be repectful and honest and see what happens. cops and judges are people too so we do have a soft side.

that is unless you got stopped by robocop. :D

cheer up buddy. smoke a cigar and lets put the past behind.

Re: First speeding ticket.
 

Haha cheers.:tu

Isn't it all lasar anymore?

Re: First speeding ticket.
 

lasers are handheld units. most the motorcycle guys will use them. problem with laser is that you have to aim it and hit a car. good thing is its is very accurate and almost impossible for it to set off a radar detector. with my radar i can read 2 speeds in each direction (4 cars total) without have to aim anything just point my car and the antennas in the direction of the cars.

Re: First speeding ticket.

Re: First speeding ticket.
 

can't you do defensive driving or deferred adjudication?

Re: First speeding ticket.
 

A lawyer can cost you a little up front... but can usually get it reduced down where it wont affect your insirance so much. Helps in the long run.

Sorry for the troubles.
