If you speed, you will eventually get caught. Usually one ticket is enough for me to calm down for awhile. Sucks bro, good luck.

 

Yeah man, make sure you have that escort of valentine with you at all times. Those things are worth their money.

sorry you got another ticket.

 

Its just a sign for you to stay in your car lol :j/k: I hate tickets. When I was younger I was always gettign thrown in jail for tickets. Its sucks

 

Better slow that down. I used to speed intentionally and got a ton of tickets. By the time I calmed down, the warrants were active and I was a broke teenager. I got caught going 40 in a 30 and went straight to jail....two years later I finally paid off everything and was one week from getting m license back. I got pulled over for 70 in a 60 and got a ticket which started the fees over again!! Had to drive, at that point I had a son and a wife I needed to take care of. Anyhow, it's a few years later now and get cursed out everyday on the highway....yeah, I'm that guy driving the speed limit.

 

Tell us about #1, 2 and 3. Which city, what streets/freeways, what jurisdiction and how fast in what speed zone?

 

If you've already got a radar detector then perhaps it's possible that you simply need to pay more attention to what's around / coming up / etc. Possibly once you got the radar detector you stopped looking for the po-po your self.

 

Just cruise, unless you see a big open stretch of road with no hiding spots for the cops

 

okay here goes

1st ticket - Driving down Bush/190 going west ran through the toll and was stuck behind traffic it was conjested and there was a spill lane(that extra lane on the left that you have to merge back in again) that i decided to goto i was following the speed limit and the lane was closing in so i sped up little i didn't notice that there was a cop sitting in that cluster **** and he decideds to pull me over b/c i tried to speed up to get out of harms way 70 in a 60.

2nd ticket - Murphy rd. and 544 there is a streched of road that goes from 45 to 35 before a light and follows through the light. I am coming off of Murphy Rd. turning left onto 544. i thought the speed limit was 45 didnt see any posted sign but what was ahead of me was a 45 speed limit sign...honestly i think its a speed trap got pulled over by a cop sitting beside the albertsons 47 in a 35.

3rd ticket - Wife car no radar and like Faymester said prolly was use to the radar catching the police myself. i wasnt paying attention on my way to work listen to the radio didnt notice how fast i was going 45 in a 30

so that the long winded story i guess i need to keep on the speed limit signs and stop depending on my radar.

 

I got my Passport the day after I got my IS350. Wow what a life saver. I drive close to 200 miles a day on I35 right now, and it has saved my a$$ numerous times. Knock on wood.

 

this is why i DO NOT drive unles my Valentine is with me!!!

 

Dang, WALD, you gotta cool it before you start collecting points and raising your premium, heh.

 

You crazy kids these days, this is why i dont let children drive.
