Treetek Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 rates did go up, but i dont think by that much. last time i calculated, it was about 14 bucks per mile over the speed limit. i think you said 11, so itll be around 150 bucks. its just a guess. i just got done with traffic school about a month ago. give up 8 hours of your life, meet some people with some interesting stories, and laugh! (if you go to comedy traffic school). i got hooked up with 4 passes to the improv, so it was worth it. i had the option of doing online, but i just did not want to spend my whole day staring at a computer. Since hangar is a post whore, im sure online traffic school would be a breeze!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtspecB Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 First ticket?!? That must mean you haven't been having enough fun in the 2.5i or the CA traffic has let up enough for you to get above the speed limit. my vBGarage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 say that you drive a 2.5i and that you can't even get up to 46mph. ^^^ see this quote ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 My friend said he contested a ticket by measuring the stretch of the street he was caught on and explained there is no way his car could get up to the speed the cop claimed in the morning traffic in such a short lenth of road ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowBound BP5 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 This morning i was pulled over by a motorcycle cop for driving 46 mph in a 30 mph on Garfield where intersects with Garvey The weird thing is i don't think i've ever reached 46 mph since that was just a small stretch of street on Garfield. I might've been driving a bit above 40 mph and came to a rolling stop at the light, that's when i see the cop in my rear view mirror THIS IS MY FIRST FREAKING TICKETS MANG!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.... When will i receive the ticket notice? What do you have to do when i go to court? Any estimation on how much the ticket is gonna be? Is traffic school gonna suck??? :sigh: Things have not been going smooth for me at all lately... It sucks anytime you get a ticket but damn Hanger calm down you sound like a complete noob (well, in fact you are but you know what I mean )! You'll most likely get a formal notice at yo' baby mama's place within 3 weeks. Since rules differ between courts just carefully read the notice and follow the instructions. You're lucky since you said this is your first ever ticket that means you're eligible for traffic school (you should take that option, unless you feel confident enough to fight the ticket). I assume Alhambra P.D. pulled you over? If that's the case then the fine shouldn't be that much. It's 16 over the limit and issued by the municipal L.E. so I'm guessing around $150 plus most likely another $39 for "court processing fee" for opting the traffic school and the actual cost for the school (around $45). And unfortunately...yes, traffic school will SUCK! But the good thing is most probably you'll have the choice of taking it online, making it cheaper and more convenient. I've gone that route a few times already. Sorry to hear about your run-in this morning but at least you won't get a point on your record after you take care of this. You KNEW you're due for one haha!

SnowBound BP5 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 And right after i got my tickets, made a U-turn to go back the route to work.... THERE! I see another truck get pulled over at the exact same spot i was at well it is the end of the month... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowBound BP5 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 online traffic school is best...it doesn't even take that long and you can do it in the bathroom while taking a crap. Um, depending on what online schools you're allowed to choose from. From my experience they're not exactly a walk in the park either. The program is designed so they make sure you go through every single section and you do need to set aside a few hours to complete it. But at least you can do it on your own time and at your pace, plus you get to take the test as many times as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowBound BP5 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 i'm gonna get me a Escort 8500 down the road, my friend Tim said he's gonna get one too ORDER ONE NOW! I got one (w/ blue LED) about 3 years ago and I never leave home w/o it whenever I'm in either the FD or the Legacy. That unit is totally worth every single penny! Of course you still have to keep your eyes open and exercise common sense when you drive but I cannot stress enough how important it is to have one! Mine has saved me from at least 40 tickets, NO JOKE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
