There are still laws about residential areas and such, but on highways, it pays to know this one. Don't be going faster than 85 unless you can deal with the consequences, because they are going to be a lot worse here.

Similar laws in VA. If you are pulled for doing 20+ over you can be arrested on the spot. 11+ over the limit is a reckless ticket.

Last ticket I got was for speeding, 70 in a 65 in 1973.
What am I doing wrong?

[JamesNoBrakes]

The amount you have to pay up front is usually not that big of a deal.

What it does to your insurance on the other hand...lets just say you end up paying a lot more usually than the cost of the ticket over time...

Sounds like you got the best outcome that could have been hoped for.

You deserve what you get. There is no reason to have that many points in a year. Driving is a privilege not a right. You are the reason why us guys have higher insurance rates. Whatever happens to you, happens.

*didn't read the whole thread but by the last page, it sounds as if you got a slap on the wrist...

Shouldn't have done that. You should have pleaded it down.

I don't know about there but here guilty verdict of reckless driving is automatic doubling of your insurance for the next 3 years. The only thing worse is passing a stopped school bus which triples your insurance.

Also the school can only be used once every few years (I think it's five years here in NC) and if you get caught doing ANY moving violation during this time you have to pay the fine for both violations and you get the points of both violations.

So in NC you dont have to pay the fine for the initial violation if you go to school because you said have to pay for both and never heard of having to pay for a violation twice 4 years apart.

As far as talking to cops, most of the time (barring we just caught our spouse cheating or something on that level) we are like mirrors. We will reflect what we are given. If given respect and courtesy, I like to return that. I cannot speak for all officers obviously but that is how I try to do my job. That being said, I haven't written a speeding ticket in years because there are other things to do. Also, it never hurts to ask for a warning. Worst they can do is say "no"

They are in KY. To get technical though...Even if you don't clock them, and they were speeding, you can still pull them over and give them a wreckless driving ticket. but as far as speeding goes, you have to have proof if they take it to court or you get out of it. that's why the cruisers in kentucky have the new radars that save speeds, and the camera in the cruiser takes a video every time you hit the switch, not just when the lights come on.

Never admit to what they officer says. Just reply with "No sir, I don't know how fast I was going." I also find talking respectful and treating them normal is helpful. They're doing a tough job, and attitude won't help at all...just makes it worse.

Deferred....get any tickets at all in those 90 days and this ticket rears it's ugly head at you.

Now let's see what happens to your insurance rates. Don't tell your insurance you got a ticket...they'll find it soon enough in the next 6mo to 1yr.
