elpadg Rookie Author Florida Posts:2 Points:240 Joined:Sep 2011	Message Posted: Sep 10, 2011 9:26:58 AM Ignore elpadg Report Abuse I haven't gotten a speeding ticket since 1986 when I had 5 of them in less than 12 months. I was guilty on the first 4. On the fifth one I was traveling with the traffic with cars ahead and behind me and the officer pulled me over and the rest kept going. Six months later I saw in the newspaper that he had been fired when they discovered that he was writing bad tickets. I really don't know how fast I was going because my speedometer was broken but I was probably driving below the speed limit. Sunday afternoon in a line of cars in a 45 zone and we knew a policeman was with us. Don't remember the fine but my license was suspended for 1 month, I had to go to driving school and my insurance was cancelled and cost some high amount to have reinstated. It was high then for 3 or 5 years I think. I rarely drive over 75 now (in a 70) and haven't had a ticket since then. I guess that bad cop slowed me down.

I pulled over, no chase, no attitude or bullshit, and I got it reduced to 18 over. I should'a named dropped because I was attending a wedding and the guy was a RCMP officer. Might have gotten off. :P :D

You will also face a fine - minimum $2,000, max $10,000. This is the penalty for doing 50 km (30 mph) over the limit. This is for real. Just a heads up.
