...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img](No reason for replies here)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]It costs money to hear your case, and the fine does not pay for everyone that particpates in "your day in court" I think, if you want to take it to court and you loose, you should pay for court fees and officers fees. The $100 (approx)fine doesn't pay for the system to work properly. And I believe, if you win, the appropriate jurisdiction, should compensate YOU, for your time[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Wish You luck. MD
UH HUH SURE there is reason man... YOU GUYS JUST GIVE OUT TICKETS FOR REVENUE TO PAY YOUR SALARIES!!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] More tickets you dish out maybe you get a surplus in the budget and then you send in the union reps for the kill [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] All a conspiracy I tell ya

She called me and said "I can't believe how long the drive seems when you are trying stay within the speed limit!"

It's like watching your life go by[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Some tricks to not getting a ticket;
Don't weave in and out of traffic
Stay out of the number 3 lane(outside lane) to pass cars.
Don't lead the pack, (occasionally)let cars pass you by, if at all possible.
Use your turn signals.
Tap your brakes to tailgaters, then, move over and let them pass.
If the officer is behind you, he (hopefully)will see your brake lights flashing and possibly target the tailgater.
Number one way to avoid a citation: Folllow all traffic laws and show courtesy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Key point Tap your brake LIGHTS NOT YOUR BRAKES!!! I drive very courtious at a pace above the rest. if someone wants to be my goat i let em around no problem [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Hey I loved CHiPs when I was growing up! Haven't seen it in a few years though.

I try to take the 5MPH rule. Don't go faster than 5MPH over the limit. Only place I really really watch for the CHP is out on "The Racetrack" as I call it. Highway 41 between Lemoore and Kettleman City. Usually see 2 -3 officers when I come back from Pismo and it takes about 30 minutes to drive that stretch of road. See maybe one between Kettleman and Paso Robles and that's about another hours drive.

I have yet to get a ticket. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] <beats on desk> Close call going to Pismo a couple trips back....flew passed a CHP officer sitting under an overpass at Madonna Rd. in SLO. Luckily he bailed at Los Osos Valley Rd. I was wizzinging along at 65 with a trailer. eek.

Just the other day they closed 41 between Cholame and Reef City (41&33) due to a 7 car pileup including a big rig around Cottonwood Pass (I think that's what they were calling it). DOH. 2-Lane highway. Traffice diverted on I-5 and Highway 33 south to 46. ICK. That's got to add an hour to the drive.

No bein a sissy. HAMMER DOWN DRIVER!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] The renagage speed patrol civillians are the ones that **** me off and i wanna kill them. If your not passin get over. Dont drive 60 in the left lane if the middle or right lane is doin 62. I think the speed should be 60 right land 65 middle 70 left 75 carpool so the more lanes the faster it is. graduated limits. and if you cought in the left lane goin slower than the right lane unless its in the traffic zones you get a hefty fine of like 250 bucks.

drives me crazy if I'm goin 80 plus in the fast lane and someone (driving a BMW 325 most of the time) comes up behind me and starts flashing his (mostly hers) lights wanting me to move over. Buddy, if you want to drive faster than that, you need to go around me 'cause I ain't moving over.
