Got a Ticket

Ponyup · 07-23-2008, 07:31 AM

I got a ticket monday night on the way to my softball game. 68 in a 40 eeek. I was on a well paved back road that's flat as the day is long, it should be 55 on that road. Even at 55 i was still speeding, but it woulda been 13 over instead of 28. I can't say anythng I know i was in the wrong, but i'm still pretty upset. That's 6 points on my license. I already told hubby he gets to drive everywhere we go together from now one, I love to drive, but I have a genetic leadfoot that's hard to control. This is my first ticket since I was 16. I was doing so good.

I don't know about other places, but it seems like they are really cracking down on speeders around my area. I think it's the governor answer to the money crunch.

Oh bummer! Those darn things get expensive... first the fines and then the increase in your insurance premiums.

I've had one ticket in my lifetime. Back in 1978. lol while I was working at the Jail one of the state troopers nabbed me going 57 in a 55. He laughed the whole time he was writing the ticket. I didn't find it nearly as funny as he did. lol

Aw it's a shame you had to get a ticket, but you admit you were in the wrong. I'm really surprised I haven't gotten a ticket yet and I'm 53 years old. I have a lead foot too...very bad at times. I have to be honest with myself and know that's where my son got from. Where are you in Indiana? I'll need to be careful if I'm in your area...LOL. They aren't quite as strict here in Frankfort.

Tink I can't believe you got a ticket for going 2 mph over the limit. Geez!

I'm in the south bend area. They've been really bad around plymouth & they've been butts about pratroling country roads.

OOPS that should have said 67 in a 55. lol
It was a whole $36 fine back in those days. lol

Sorry, that you got a ticket! That's no fun! I have to admit that I have a heavy foot too! I know that you're allowed 5 mph over the speed limit and that's where I set my cruise! I've had a few tickets but I can't remember exactly how many. I've been stopped several times and given warnings.

My sister-in-law has a radar detector and she drives really fast. She figures that she's safest with less time spent driving and on the road!!!

Hey I am close to ya! Right on the Indiana/Michigan border.
AND I myself got a ticket on a county road last October!!! This was around Shipshewanna..

First ticket I have had in 23 years. Totally uncalled for. Young punk cop fresh out of school and trying to earn his wage.
Idiot couldn't even tell me where the speed limit was posted, yet wrote me a ticket.. grrrr...

I've only gotten one ticket ever and it really upset me. I hate being in trouble whether it's at school, at work, on the road, etc. It just really gets to me. I cried for quite a while after I got the ticket. Poor Marty didn't know what had gotten into his crazy mama. The officer thought he was cute, but still gave me the ticket.
