I got a speeding ticket driving down the 5 about a month ago too. On top of that I got written up for an uncorrectable tint ticket and no front license plate. Total came to about $700. Was also towards the end of the month...

Just feel "lucky" they didn't git ya for the exhaust (me too). Would be another few benjies down the drain.

P.S
Did you move to GA?
yes sir, I sure did. Never seen so many Lexus vehicles in my life. I see them all day, mostly ES and 2nd 3rd gen GS. Wash my car and after a 5 minute drive...bug guts all over my windshield, happens every time

Lol at changing my user name

If needed, I can get traffic school for both tickets: 8hr & 12hr.
Now I'm waiting on the letters in the mail to see how much these are going to be.
To all the Cali (maybe SoCal only) people: watch out for the Ford Explorer CHPs. They're getting people left and right (including me).

Our Sunday caravan from Fresno up to Sacramento was trailed by a Hi Po (CHP) in an Explorer. Fortunately he didn't hassle us because there were a few prime candidates for ticketing in our group.

Funny stuff. We all get tickets for doing things we know are not quite copasetic. Some of us speed, some of us over tint, some of us are over loud, and some of us leave the plate off the front of the car. We're all risk takers I guess.

That sucks, i have had some bad tickets but with this car I have learned my lesson but to an extent as this car brings back the want to speed. I would def fight the first ticket, I wouldn't state you were speeding on to the on ramp, just say you were going 65 mph as he estimated your speed.

some lady cut across several lanes at the last minute, cutting me off, trying to exit. but when she got into my lane, she slammed on her brakes bc it was more important for HER to try and merge off. naturally, i was pissed, i got in front of her and cut her off. that's when chp apparently saw everything, pulled us both over, lectured us and let us go.

That's probably why they're giving more tickets...to pay for their new cars.
