Re: [PLUG] WAYYYY Off Topic.... [Speeding Ticket]
|
Sorry to hear about the ticket. I use 202 every day of the work week and
I see local cops out there all the time.
Fight the ticket - its 5 dollars to request a hearing (if I remember
correctly) and all you'll be out is the money and your time. Most
officers are understanding and willing to cut a break its nothing
personal more often than not. Talk to the officer before going into the
hearing and if you're willing, offer to plead guilty, pay the fine in
exchange for not getting the points.
The township gets their revenue, you don't get the insurance spike.
Going 90 in a 55, though, you may end up getting no leeway from the
officer if he deems it excessive
