Angry Bad Luck in the GS...2 speeding tickets in 2 weeks

I haven't gotten a speeding ticket in so many years, maybe 5 or more I can't recall, but I've already gotten 2 in the GS within 2 weeks of one another
It's just been really bad luck.

1st ticket: I just merged onto the freeway and was accelerating to pass some cars/merge, and I got lit up within 5 sec by CHP. He estimated and wrote 80+ in a 65mph because, in his own words, "had to catch up to me and was doing over 80 to do so."

2nd ticket: 4 wide lane street (8 in total for both ways) and I'm just cruising along with 2 other cars. I accelerate to make the yellow light, 1 of the cars does the same as me, and out of no where, again, I'm lit up by a motocop. He says he lasered me doing 56 in a 35mph. 35mph limit for a busy 4-lane street is nonsense and we were the only cars on the street at the time.

In both instances I have been "caught" at an instantaneous max speed and not speeding over a period of time.

I haven't changed my driving habits since getting this car but what the f man my luck has gone to ****.

The first one was a stupid reason by the cop. 2nd one, you are on the hook and won't be able to beat it. Fight the first one, would love to hear his scientific explanation of your actual speed.

Suxs man, fight the first one or please guilty to a less charge... I think it's time to look into getting a Beltronics STiR Plus and Laser Interceptors installed.

Down here we have this guy "Mr. Ticket" man is he worth it. 1st off he postpones the dates by like 3 months and a lot of the time the citing officer forgets about the incident. I have had really good luck using a service like this in the past. its literally like $100 bucks per ticket, and you don't have to do a thing. Just my .002

Oh wow! That is crazy! I used to get 4 tickets in 1.5 years.. but not 2 tickets in 2 weeks....

I believe, you can go to traffic school for the first ticket, so no points.
But for the second one, you may get 1 point.

I also got 2 tickets a few weeks ago. Both for tints in my case..... Unlike in other states, NY cops issue multiple tickets, one for each window so you can get a total of 5 tickets if the cop is a complete d*ck

The cop told me that, "I could have given you 5 tickets for each window if I wanted to, but I'm only giving you two". He could techincally write me a ticket for each window. But then I would have to go to court and the judge will drop the rear windows tickets.


P.S
Did you move to GA?
