BUMMER...GOT A SPEEDING TICKET

[Belair62]

Here's agood one...got a 66 Hemi Charger automatic,got home with it and a buddy came over...never had a Hemi so we went around my block to a main intersection..made a right turn on red,stopped,brake torqued it and went thru second and into 3rd until I had to slow down to turn on my block.No sooner did I turn and a local PD was behind me,jumps out kind of pissed and asked me for my license which of course I left in the kitchen...he asked me" what the hell were you thinking? Didn't you see me right behind you at the light ?" well I apologized and said NO and started blabbering about the car being a Hemi,which he knew nothing about! Since I was practically in my driveway he let me go,shaking his head all the way to his car.

It's a rare occasion to be let go these days. I tried to talk my way out of the ticket, but is was no use. I don't think the officers are able to let many (if any) go these days, because these particular citations are an excellant source of revenue for our towns. Even if you go before the judge and get assigned traffic school, the fine plus school cost are still high. The only positive aspect is the ticket doesn't end up on your state record.
