So I HAVE just found the answer to my dilemma.....called my insurance company and they said if they see any ticket on my driving record that they will raise the annual rate by 60% for 3 years. 60 fricken percent!! That's about $800 extra a year!
Can't believe it....I am definitely going to court to get this ticket dismissed. I NEED that money for mods!
Lesson for anyone.....DON'T SPEED!.....or don't get caught....or only get one every 3 years (in RI)
Decision has been made to definitely fight the ticket so I won't be needing anymore advice. Thanks for everybody's input!
This thread should keep going though....let's hear your favorite ticket story....there have been a few already......there has to be a lot more!
I'll start....
So I will admit...I like the fast lane....not only that, I like to view all the lanes like a chess game, strategizing my next move at all times, and on occasion I will use all lanes to get where I need to go. I'm not dangerous or aggressive.....I'm actually very careful and fully aware of my surroundings.....I just like to have the freedom to stay around 70-75 mph and not have any slow pokes in the fast lane cause me to press on the brake.
That being said.....I have blown past speed traps a few times and my strategy at those times, if the traffic is thick enough, is to carefully weave some lanes to the immediate first exit....take the exit fast and immediately take some side streets....while the cop is trying to pull his car out into traffic. I have eluded some tickets a few times, but the last time I tried this, the cop found me and wasn't too happy about the whole situation. He questioned why I did what I did and where I was headed....I made up some story that I was headed to somewhere nearby....he didn't buy it....wrote me a big fat ticket....lol.
So I will repeat:
Lesson for anyone.....DON'T SPEED!.....or don't get caught....or only get one every 3 years (in RI)
