    My first speeding ticket! I knew it would happen sooner or later. 64 in a 50 zone. Good thing he didn't see me a few streets earlier. Could have been a really bad night. I feel like I got off easy.......Lou

    PAP - that comes out to over 13.5 posts per mile driven over the last 5 years! It would be hard to speed when you are having to stop and do a post every 390 feet. In a hundred years you will only have driven her 86,000 miles. You might think about spending more time with her or pretty soon you will be an old man hanging out with this beautiful young thing that is feeling neglected! :)

    ah the speeding tax....knock on wood, I haven't been bit in at least 8-10 yrs. So when I do get one, I figure I'm still ahead of the game :D

    Happy driving!

    Count your blessings.

    Then again - there's probably only one cop in the whole of The Isa.

    Holy moly, I thought that was jailtime or at least license suspension round these parts. Did the officer hit you with the maximum punishment, or did he downgrade it? Also, how many points ya get for it? I've never been caught over 90. Also, can you do traffic school?

    Over 100 has a whole different set of consequences. Under 100 and it's one point/infraction and eligible for going to traffic school upon seeing judge.
