I see all of these vid's of people running insane mph on the street, just wondering if anyone has got big tickets, and how much? How much they charging for speed these days?

 

just got my license back after 5 years and 10k+ That is the worst thing you can do to a gearhead . I go test driving almost everyday after work now

 

5 Years?!! What were you doing, 150 mph in a school zone with a beer in your hand?

 

Many a speeding ticket in my younger days. 1 racing ticket- that was a pain. 4 court dates, blah blah blah, cop never showed(just like he said he wouldnt- ended up being a cool guy after we talked) got it knocked down to speeding. The prosecutor was going to drah it on for 6 months which was the limit at the time, I had just started a new job and couldnt keep taking time off.
Dont get tickets now a days, professional courtesy towards fireman. As long as you arent being a complete ***.

 

Here in TX it's no longer a ticket offence. You go to jail and you vehicle impounded.

 

Yeah, when I got mine (about 10 years ago) I had to post bond and go to criminal court. What a pain.

 

I got a ticket for "drag racing" when I was 17 (10 years ago). It was a $100 fine and 3 points on my DL. I'm sure its a lot harsher now.

 

I spun out in my TA when I was 18 and hit a gaurd rail. Colorado ordered me to pay the 7,000 for it and suspended my license until I paid it off. No restricted, no nothing. And they threw my *** in jail for 5 days for careless driving. My company just paid off the last 4,000 for me last friday

 

ok ok.. lol im confused.. so its 5 days in jail, not 5 years. Correct?

 

Back about 10 years ago when I was still living in Western New York I was clocked doing 126 in a 45 (in my old '69 Nova that ran low 11's),.....I was racing a guy in an '85 Mustang GT 5.0 that had been talking **** for quite a few hours at one of our local hang-outs (said he was the fastest car in three counties), I told him I'd race him for $100 on a back-road that led out of town.....needless to say I WAS NOT expecting the cop to be parked in a pull-off area !!!, I won the race but the ticket was $450 and 40hrs of community service !!!, The only good thing about it was that the guy in the 5.0 was ticketed worse than I was.....HE was in the left lane and was written for reckless driving as well as the speeding ticket and community service, HIS tickets came to about $1100 !!!!

To my suprise (and to his credit) the guy actually did pay up on the $100 bet....it took him a month or so to come up with it but he did pay it
