Got my first speeding ticket in 11 years. I was just turned into a road and just let the boost on 3rd from 10mph take me up to speed and I wasn't looking at the speed till i saw the dark police car in the dark. I then saw 50 on a 40. He then caught up to me and gave me a ticket for doing 53 on a 40. I'm going to try to fighting some how.



I guess i have to be lucky. I just got my inspection sticker, (cough). Cop asked me if i passed inpection with my exhaust and how old it was. Told him i can put the silencers on if it bothers him and is only 2 years old.

That sucks. At least he didn't give you a ticket for your exhaust. I would recommend you get a lawyer to assist you in fighting the ticket. It will be the best $125-150 you can spend. I have a perfectly clean driving record.

Damn Carlos...I guess your luck ran out. Good luck fighting it.



Was it one of those dark gray unmarked cars that got you? That's what snagged me when I was in NJ.
