Cops pulls me over for "reving" engine. $50 ticket.

It's an exhibition driving ticket. What do I do? Fight it? Pay it? Do I have to go to court? I don't know. Please, someone help me.

Jeez, you're in a V-6 too!!! I certainly hope I never run into this same cop (it's a possibility), my car is quite loud even without the echo of a bridge!!! I would fight it...just on principal. It may end up costing you even more but that's just BS!!!

Yeah, it would be nice to hear from the other side of this incident.....

especially when the OP was driving a 1LT .......OP, do you straight pipes on it or something?

I understand the being under a bridge and all, but there had to be something in particular that attracted the attention of the officer enough to take enforcement action???

OP, If you feel you were wronged, then take the matter to court and report the outcome after the judge/jury finds that the enforcement action was in fact BS.
Good luck!!

If it will increase your insurance than fight it, otherwise just pay, it will probably be more trouble than it's worth to fight it

Is several hours of your time woth fighting over $50?

[Tweiten]

I'm not sure if it will effect insurance or add points. Is there a way I can check?

Just did a quick google search check this out seems like it will be 3 points if you pay without fighting it

Thats harsh,I checked some different states and Montana looks to be a great place to drive.

Low points and a high points limit.

My neighboring states not so much NY and Mi.
