I think i am having a mental breakdown. Ok not really but I got into an accident (read my previous question) last weekend and got a ticket for inproper passing...then today, I was rushing home on the pkwy because my dog is extremely sick (speeding is bad, I know, but we all do it!) and what happens....dammit i get pulled over and i get a ticket for speeding too.  I have no points on my license but I will at least get 4 and thats if I go to court and fight it.  Someone tell me they love me.

you do realize this isn't a question right...i am just jokin! hon, i can so relate. been going thru a crappy time lately too and as a young mom, wife, and college student there is a lack of people to talk to... i hear ya and i know how it feels when u just need a hug or a girl friend. (i sincerly mean a girl who is a friend, who might relate or something...or at least let you gripe and then hang out and take your mind off it!) Had to clear that up since I am a married woman (to a man who works 60 hours a week) :( - but hey i hear ya!! hang in there, i know the points on the license is terrible cause insurance is already high enough...ugh. You better learn your lesson tho woman: no more speeding, regardless! hehe besides with the price of gas, who can afford tickets!! :-) you can add me to your messenger if u wanna :) always happy to chat. hope everything gets better soon!!

Why the hell would you pretend you didnt see him? all that is gonna do is cause further problems. The excuse never works... the officer knows you saw them, and can get you for evading arrest. Do you want to add further problems onto what was already done? They might be pulling you over for something simple like having a taillight or tag light out, and you avoiding them will add a ticket or jail time to a simple warning. You need to remember something.... we all have jobs to do, and police officers are no different. They are simply doing their job, and aren't set out to ruin your life. Yes, they do have the power to screw everything up, and there are always some crooked cops out there who will take advantage of the power, but almost all of the officers are simply following the law. They see you break the law, so they enforce it. Its really that simple. If you are speeding then they might just give you a friendly warning to slow down- remember that traveling at excessive speeds puts not only your life at risk, but the lives of those around you. The laws were created to keep us all safe and living peacefully amongst ourselves. If there were no police officers, this world would be in complete chaos. Just remember the next time that you are getting pulled over that the officer has a family, and understands where you are coming from. They deserve as much respect as the next person- more, in fact, in my opinion because they carry the weight of everyone on their shoulders. They protect and serve... thats their motto and they follow it. now i'll step off of my soap box...

Yes, I was hit by a drunk driver who left me for dead. He was only tracked down because an eye witness came forward. I hired an attorney because I had extensive medical bills, lost my job and my car was totaled. My attorney told me that I did not need to appear because they would be taking testimony from the other side and I would be called the following week. Unbeknownst to me, though, the attorney made a deal with the other side citing that I didn't bother to show up in court. All told, the guy walked away scot free and the attorneys took everything.

I am also one of the unlucky people who got caught!!! I was doing 34 in a 30 zone, in my boyfriends car.\n\nThey sent a letter to the owner of the car asking them to either admit or provide details of the person who was driving at the time. In my case my fella filled it in with my details and sent it back then the same form came back with my details asking me if I was the person driving. I sent it back, then about 4 weeks later I got a letter asking me to choose either £60 fine and 3 points on my licence or £65 fine and attend a speed awareness course. I have opted for the speed awareness course and I will be attending it tomorrow!!! \n\nI think it depends on how fast you were going and how many driving offences you have previously had as to whether they offer you the course and how much of a fine they give you.\n\nBecause the excess of the limit that you were doing, they might give you a bigger fine and not even give you the chance to attend a course.\n\n(If you keep this question open til Wednesday i can let you know what to expect on the course!)\n\nSo I asked on the course about being offered the course rather than getting stuck with the points. Apparantly the different areas and counties have different rules as to who they will offer the course to. In my case, the course was only offered to the people who were speeding in a 30 zone in Northumbria. In other counties they also include 40, 50 and 60 zones. They also have a cut off point, at which even if they usually offer the option of the course, they will just issue you with points. I asked what our cut off point was and it was 36mph.\n\nI think because of your excess you will not be offered the option of the course and will be stuck with the points! Sorry hun, I hope this has given you a bit of an insight as to what will happen.\n\nDon't sweat about it too much, although you could follow my line of thinking and get a road angel!!!

Yes, I love my dog Flash but he's not been himself lately I have no idea what's going on, I opened the front door today and he just ran out down the road, I had to jump in the car and go get him, then I toOK my son to baseball practice and I get back and he pushed the trash can over and had the trash everywhere when he had a nice big bowl of dog food sitting right there, he used to be so good, i don't know what's happening, maybe he needs more attention, but it made me so mad today, but I still love him,,,ok enough about my dog...I'm sure people have bigger prob.s than that..lol..bye

The answerer at the top deserves a good whipping.  Not to mention, they are risking  both their employer, their insurance company, and themselves a whole lot of $$ if they did accidentaly hit someone.  What an idiot.\nI think its mumbo jumbo.  People get stuck in traffic after a hardf day at work (or on their way in to work, where they will get in trouble if they are late).  It just builds up and builds up  day after day until they explode.  But to call it a syndrome is just another way of passing the buck- its not MY fault that I got out and beat up the 80 year old driver in front of my for going 2 miles an hour under the speed limit officer, I have the road rage syndrome!  What crap

You get tickets for 'infractions' you could have committed with a cop on your tail!  The cameras don't show the guy hitting his brakes in the intersection, leaving you in the middle saying cheese, for instance.  By the time you get the ticket, you don't even remember driving there, so what defense do you have?  Besides, they make people drive crazy--stopping for stale green lights, racing because a light turned yellow--all because there is a camera there and not a man who can decide whether you are driving safely or not.\n\nI'll bet your city could get a discount on the cameras if they asked insurance companies to help--they love those things!

My god, I thought from reading the initial question you were in need of help after terrible, 'cursy' things have happened to you!\n\nCount yourself lucky that you consider a 'curse' being put in the last lane in track!

Don't trust these people's opinions, if they knew something they wouldn't be saying you should let him learn his lesson if it's for drunk driving, first of all if it was drunk driving or DUI, obviously he wouldn't have a suspended license, DMV always revokes it under these circumstances, a license gets suspended for not paying insurance at times or even just with not paying the fine such as for not wearing a seat belt, a good friend of mine did that, couldn't pay for a seat belt ticket, and license got suspended, she was in a very difficult financial and medical situation, \n\nSo before people judge and tell you to dump him, they should take a good look at themselves for being so quick to judge, if your boyfriend is a habitual offender, (repeat offender) talk to him and tell him to start working hard on getting it together, he needs to learn good habits, it is up to you if you help him or not, I think he can easily get out as he didn't commit a crime, the suspended license will get re-instated soon, suspended just means, it's on hold, waiting to be fixed, it is not something that can't be fixed, they are just waiting for conditions. (It'll take a while though)\nGood luck!

Drink heavily prior to the driving test, that should calm your nerves. I doubt that will help you pass, but you'll feel much better.  Cheers

I got a ticket in Virginia and went to court, not to fight it, it was excuse for a couple of hours off of work.  That excuse saved me some cash though.  See I told the judge that I was guilty and did the speeding.  I told them that they caught me and that I had no excuse.  He suspended everything, but court costs ($29).  The bottom line is not to speed, especialy in a ncrazy state like Virginia.  Just go to court and say yes I did it, I have no excuse.  The people who begged and whined at the court all got very stiff penalties.\n\nThose of us who just said "I am guilty" got off with the lightest penalty.  It seems to be a big deal for someone to admit guilt now a days, and not whine and cry and say it was anything and everything else but their fault.

I completely agree.. and have wondered that myself.. I had a bad year last year with getting speeding tickets.. I went from having a perfect driving record to getting 3 speeding tickets.. two for going  under 10 mph over the speed limit.. one was for 6 mph over and one was for 8 mph and one I wasn't even speeding and claimed I was going 15 over the speed limit.. I took that one to court and of course lost, because traffic court apparently is a joke.. anyways.. so I see all these cops speeding down the road, I now go the speed limit or under.. no more 5 over and they cruise past me.. I think they actually get aggravated that I'm going the speed limit when they are behind me.. alot of the cops I see speeding are ones that live in a different county (my county), then where they work, so you know they aren't on a call, they are just going to work.. what really upset me one day was this motorcycle cop was speeding past everyone, passing people left and right, it looked like he was in an emergency situation, only further down the road for him to pull off on the side of the interstate and whip out a radar gun.. I was so aggravated I wrote the city police dept and of course got the run around.. about police officers being responsible for their own speed.. blah blah... so yeah I don't think it's fair.. I think they need to obey the laws just like everyone else.
