Ticket #2

I got a speeding ticket today. Just add it to the other ticket I have to fight in court. Maybe they'll give me a deal now. Get 1 ticket, get 1 free. This prepaid legal is starting to get expensive now. But I have to think about how much it would cost me without it. Or I could just stop getting into trouble, or drive faster. But why should I get a ticket for speeding when everybody else is speeding too? I remember one time I was speeding (surprised?)and I just saw a cop around the corner & I saw he had his radar gun pointing right at me so I took the exit and went into a side road. By the time he got to the road, I was gone. Ah, running from the cops, sweeeeeet. But they should really up the speed limit like 20 mph. I cruise @ 80 mph.

i've paid two tickets already this year. one for speeding. one for going through a yellow.

personally, i think it's my license plate that gets me in trouble. it says "EMBALMD". i meant it as horror humor. but i think they think i might be drunk....

I used to race a girl from Athens to Atlanta every Friday in college. Her license plate read "DRINK." I never did meet her, which is too bad because we were probably soul mates.

You must be running a private competition with my husband. He currently holds the record for the most tickets in a lifetime.
I have to remind him that we have rent to pay and children to feed.
Can't afford to keep paying for his habit!

I love how you just dismiss the option of maybe stop speeding. As if that was a valid possibility. They should really change their laws to suit you, I can see that. Hope the two for one deal works out for you.

i bet i beat sheilas hibby. and my most expensive tix was 750.00=250 for speeding& 500 for drag racing! sadly my racing cpmpetitor was also my fiance at the time so chalk that up at 1500.00 BANG!! i win. I just got a tix up in farmington bastards. i blame my mass plate! after all o WAS going WITH traffic. pfft!

oh i almost forgot. i came home and cried about it to my therapist and she said simply "well were u speeding?" the answer was yes. no matter how many excuses i tried to make about everyone else and such...i still should take reponsibility for my faults. its also a good thing to show my daughter that im accountable. stupid therapist!!! lol

Diane-I think its a personal vendetta against me to give me tickets

wes-knowing my luck, it would be an undercover cop

sheila-i should buy a hoopty so the cops can get off my back. you're husband and i should carpool so we can split the tickets.

kimmyk-cops are like predators and we are the prey. one day, the prey will become the predators and we'll start giving the cops the tickets

bettina-i'll bring it up to my legal advisor

shel-the therapist is probably a speeder too

I try to ride bikes as often as I can. One way to avoid speeding tickets. You just have to dodge the speeders who can't see you.

I have the same problem with speeding. Maybe if I bought a mini-van or something like that it would help me with my speeding.
