I drove by a Highway trooper in the morning doing 60 in a 50 and thought that he would come after me but he didnt. Sorry to hear that you got a ticket.

lmao... I guess I shouldn't complain considering all of the times I didn't get caught.. The speed limit was 50 though... I'll try much luck in court.. although I know NYC courts aren't as willing to negotiate as Nassau County courts are.

That sucks..I go at least 60+ all the time on the Belt, never got pulled over..Some sections on the Belt you could go fast, but others like Erskine #13 and near Verrazano bridge is not ideal to speed..

that sucks..I got mine for following closely there last year....belt is interesting because you have to know where you should slow down and where the cops are hidden....some places on belt, you can drive up to 80mph but carefully....I agree with ONE HOT, it's not a good idea near those places....watch out next time
