SPLN SUX Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 So in 2005 i got nabbed at 101mph on 270. Result: 6mnth suspension, $1000 fine, defensive driving class required, prepaid 6mnths insurance upon renewing license (basically another fine), 1yr probation from any other tickets more than 10mph over the posted limit (180 days in jail). Pre-judgment: $94/mnth full coverage through State Farm Post-judgment: (2006) $310/mnth full coverage through Progressive (2007) $271/mnth (2008) $247/mnth (2009) $104/mnth Finally, 4 yrs later, things have gotten back to normal. So what did I learn here? Well, after it was all said and done, that 1 ticket cost me 6 months of inconvenience, a lawyer, and almost $10,000 in fees, fines, and costs of lawyer and extra money paid for high risk insurance. Dont be a fucking retard... learn from my mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Allstate and I think they have some policy where your rates won't increase if it's your first ticket. Unfortunately I went over that limit anyways .

Patrick Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Jeep...I don't think it can speed. I have been pulled over before, but those were because the alternator in my rx7 was dying and so was the battery. Never a ticket, lucky. My dad said he would drop me from insurance if I got a ticket when I first got my license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotCarl Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 yea right... knowing CPD... you get pulled over, and its like this... "Sir can i see your hands please... sir your hands... sir... keep your hands out of your pockets... sir, your pockets, keep your hands out of your... "officer down." " Everytime Ive ever gotten pulled over i always turn on all the dome lights (map lights too), rolled down all the windows and kept my hands on the wheel while making eye contact and ive gotten out of more tickets than ive ever received. The one i couldnt get out of i "fought" and "won". I say "won" b/c i didnt really save any money in the end just saved it from hitting my insurance which i suppose saved me in the long run. havent had a ticket in three years.

Cordell Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 You guys are making me so glad I've never been caught going over 90, and even that required a court appearence. I've been clean for a year now, and hopefully I can keep stretching that out. This is the longest I've gone without a ticket ever. I got my first ticket the first time I took the car out by myself at 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I've been lucky, no speeding tickets yet. I usually try to keep to 70mph with the crowd and havn't been bothered yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
