one got deferred, the other i contested and got waived. took my drivers ed manual and used some references outta there, the judge called me creative and let me go. that was, of course, before the deferred one was on my record

this was back in 2005 with my accord. since then ive been more careful when deciding to speed, especially at what speeds. usually ill push it MAX to 80, thats because cops are adrenaline junkies in the nw. usually cruise 65-70, thats 5-10mph over most speed limits around here.

I got a pathetic ticket today that I really shouldn't have gotten. I was driving on I-93 at 67 MPH in a 65 MPH zone while a car in front of me in the fast lane was speeding at a 75 MPH rate of speed.

The cops put the lazer on him and got a reading off his car and came out on the highway to stop his car. I wasn't sure if they were stopping me or not with him so I pulled over even though the two cops walked to the side after he pulled over.

I did this just to be safe but then this moron of a cop walks up to my window and tells me was going 77 also because I was behind him. Which made NO SENSE! How the hell is he going to assume I was going as fast as he was? I guess the impression was created because the guy started hitting the brake hard and he cut the distance between us.

Anyways, its a 150 dollar ticket for nothing...too bad it is not local otherwise I would fight this one to the end. These bastards knew I was out of state and wouldnt be able to fight it. They were just filling their damn quota since it's the end of the month.

I hate goddamn cops and I have lost all respect for them today. I can't believe what an unfair ticket this was...Ruined my entire trip...

2 tickets here... 79 in a 55 which thankfully got reduced to 74 in a 55 after attending court and a 105 in a 55, both of them happened in northern va. thank god i am MD licensed driver, otherwise the fines would be in the $7000 range. VA has the highest fines nationwide... go nova. i have yet to attend court for the 105 in a 55

None. All thanks to my V1 and a good set of eyes. Everyone should pay attention of off ramps and on ramps. They have offramps that lead to a on ramp back to the same free way making you think they got off. Almost got toasted one time, but my v1 is smarter than the CHP.
