Angry Got a ticket today

Was just about to pull into my driveway at home when I saw my friends little brother driving. So I'm a car behind him at a stop sign, well after i stop and leave from the stop sign I floored it and went around him to the left. Well I didn't see the cop and he wanted to give me a racing ticket (Wtf I was only going like 35 ) but he gave me a 40 in a 30 speeding ticket and unsafe lane change.


$403


Also, IDK if any of you guys are good with the law or anything, but the cop didn't sign the affidavit of my electronic ticket, and he also estimated my speed, which i believe was at least 5mph less than what he said I was going.

$400 wtf????

Here in st. louis it usually costs me around $350 to get a ticket "Taken care of"

$100 for 20 over. $70 lawyer fee, and the rest in court fees.

I've got several "Defective mufflers" on my record...

I'm sure the expensive part of that ticket was the unsafe lane change....

don't know what kind of record you have, but you did get caught with your pants down. I'd probably just go to court and beg for mersey,

Yikes. Hopefully someone can chime in about signing it and being estimated.
I almost got one while tuning the other night. He had someone stopped on the other side of the median and there was about 3 cars coming from his direction so I didn't see his lights. he had just let the guy go when I seen him. I looked down and i was doin 75, I slowed it down to 70 and was coming up to where I wanted to turn. He goes down to the next area to turn around at the same time I turn around to go back and as I'm getting up to speed another vehicle is coming up behind me. So he either didn't clock me, or lost me. cuz I took it to the house.

STFU and pay the damn ticket. You know you smoked the tires and did an illegal lane change. So your guilty. Im sure you have done PLENTY of other illegal stuff and never gotten caught. At some point Im sure you were speeding by the amount you got ticketed.
