Drakk0r1647545492 Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 So for the first time in almost four years, I got a speeding ticket.. Apparently I was speeding on 315.. I say apparently because I really wasnt paying attention.. I was heading home on my bike at around 1:30am. I was getting on 315 from 670, just cruising along.. Not a car in sight, until I see a cop car parked with its lights off in the middle of 315 right as I came around to merge. She clocks me by laser, and I see flashing blue and red about a half mile behind me.. I could have been a dick and just sped away on the empty freeway.. But I'm not the type, so I stop well before she even gets close. I have my helmet and gloves off before she even walks up. I treat her with respect, address her as ma'am.. And she writes me a fucking ticket for going 66mph on an empty freeway! WTF!? This makes 4 times I've been stopped, and 4 times I've been ticketed.. No matter how minor the infraction, or how respectful and curious I am.. I can never seem to get a warning.. /rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Was it for a 66 in a 65? If so, that is really, really fucked up. You have a right to rant on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakk0r1647545492 Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Oh, no.. it was 66 in a 55... I guess the onramp was a 55 zone and the freeway is 65? I dunno, like I said I wasnt paying attention...But when I got going after getting it, the nearest sign said 65, so I dunno.. The ticket days 66 in a 55...

Dr. Pomade Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 66 in a 55 with those conditions (e.g., late at night, no traffic, open freeway, clear weather) is still shitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 You can say that the highway sign said 65. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 All of that section of 315 has always been 55. It doesn't turn 65 until you get north of the Lane Ave ramp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Sucks, but I wouldn't bitch about an 11mph-over ticket in a 55. That's the same as a 13mph ticket in a 65. Warnings don't normally happen 10+ mph over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboTank Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 didnt know onramps had speed limits...all signs that are displayed in yellow are speed suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils Advocate Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 If her lights were off, then argue that shit. Cops have to follow soooooooooooooooooooooo many rules to have tickets stick. Also, if you hadn't passed a speed limit sign when she clocked you, you could say that you assumed that it was 65 since ITS THE FUCKING HIGHWAY. Please argue this.

Trouble Maker Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 If he was getting onto 315 either way from 670 West, then he was already in a 55. If he was getting onto 315 North from 670 East, then there is a "Reduce speed limit to 55 ahead" sign shortly before the ramp, then right on the ramp and on 670, are the signs for the 55mph speed limit. If he was getting onto 315 South from 670 North you actually go down an exit ramp, through an intersection on a regular street, and back onto and entrance ramp. I can assume that since you are getting onto the highway with other people that were just driving down a 45mph road, there are sings for the speed limit. I almost never go this way so I can't say for 100% sure. Mike C. is right about where it goes back to a 65. We've been through this numerous times here and it's really not that hard to remember. Just pay attention to the speed limit signs going in and out of down town. All of the highways through downtown are 55's. Sucks that you didn't get a warning, my sister always gets warning because she is a girl and cries. I never get warnings it pisses me off. I wish that shit would work for me, I'd turn the tears on for some cop in a heard beat. Vinny hit it right on the head. I do 9 over at the most everywhere (unless I'm purposefully speeding more than that) and go past cops all of the time because I don't see them until too late. I've never been pulled over when I was doing 9 or less over. Just set the cruise and forget it (I know you can't do this on a bike, just speaking in general).

Lustalbert Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I was on my way home last night and saw that cop. She was sitting on the north side of lane ave siting between the on ramp and the main lanes, at first I thought she was trying to get hit by a car or something. She had the laser on, picked her up as soon as i came around the curve. This was about 1245 am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragknee66 Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 7-10mph over is the largest margine you usually get. Plead no contest and ask for maximum fine and no points. Tickets are only written for money making purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have respect. You would think that being your age, you would be a little more mature The Kitchen isnt here for profiling. Do you think it would be ok if anyone came in here and posted "Fuck the ___*___ - (*insert any race)?"
