Opps

[Make7upu101]

Having this be my first firday off for wrestling in four months I decided to do something fun. I wanted to try and make a few friends. I have a few kids that I talk to during lunch that invited me to go to yoga with them today at the YMCA right outside my neighborhood.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was a little late (went on a run) so I was going a few miles over the limit. I get to this section of our neighborhood thats the last few yards till the main street. Stopsigns on all sides so who wouldent go a little fast? BAM a cop hiding on the side turns his lights on and has me pull over. Turns out I was going 15 m.p.h over the limit and I just recieved my first ticket.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I now have a few choices- 1.Go to court and try and get it dissmissed 2. Take a class or 3. Pay the ticket and get the points on my license

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What my dad told me we're going to do is talk to one of his friends that's a lawyer and try to see what we can do. I just don't want my clean record dirttied (sp?) I'v never even been talked to by a cop before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By the way I am not a bad driver. They caught my mom in the exact same area a couple of days ago. On my way back I saw he had another one. It's been this way for awhile a whole bunch of people I know have been caught.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any ideas on what I should do? Also I need some people to just rant with me about how low speed limits are in some neighborhoods. The limit was 25. It seems like I can ride my bike faster than 25.

15 over in a 25 zone is a lot, reckless even. I'd say take the class, sounds like you need some learnin. Speed limits aren't there to give cops something to do, especially in a residential area where kids can seemingly pop out of nowhere (like cops...).

I don't know where you got the idea that going 15 mph over the speed limit in a residental area makes you a good driver. Who cares about if you thought since there were stop signs it is safe, what would have happened if a kid ran out in the street. There is no way you would ever get this overturned in a hearing. Take the class so you can learn how to drive safely.

I'd take the class if it stays off your record. Traffic school is no biggy. Yeah, 15 over is a lot in a 25, thats like pretty fast. Yeah I tend to speed though, really shouldn't but until I get caught I won't learn my lession I guess. I just know where they hide and where it's acceptable to get away with. They go out at 6 in the morning about a block away from my house right out of a couple of stopsigns and wait for the housewives to drive in the middle of the road or go 50 in a 25 to work or something. Just have to keep an eye out and be careful.

40 in a residential area is dangerous, may I add.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Going to the traffic school is 6 hours. But hey, it gets wiped off your record if you do so, I believe.

[Make7upu101]

I understand that I may not be the best driver but I live in an area with lots and lots of long roads with houses far back and long driveways (country bumkin). These cops are catching people like flies. I went around the corner and when I came back he had another mom in a minivan. My dad said when he came home he saw the cop with another person.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I didn't know traffic school was only six hours that dosent seem bad at all. Probably just boring.

Almost double the speed limit. No sympathy, serves you right

I do 110 in 50 areas sometimes. No sympathy for me if I get caught. I'd loss my licence right there. Wouldn't even get to court.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you ask me, you were lucky it wasn't a lot worse.
