as in motor vehicle violations. how many have you had. I have 3 "low speed" tickets. most recent was right out in front of school where I was a teacher's aide. I was going 35-40 in a school zone. I KNOW speed limits are ridiculously low in school zones and out school was a good 100 yards or more off the road... and NO kids walking. ended up there were no signs on my side of the road. it PAINED me to pay that $50 ticket, but it had no points attached and knew fighting it would possibly backfire on me since I traveled that stretch every day.
got one in the development I lived in. speed limit was 35 for maybe the first and last quarter mile of the road that ran thru. in the middle was a park/playground. when I got close to the lower speed limit signs, I'd just take foot off gas and coast. car rarely ever coasted to the lower speed. I thought it was a total chicken shit ticket for doing 30 in a 25.
got one when I worked at the NJ prison. it was on Ft. Dix. I thought the vehicle with lights on top was one of OURS. nope, it was an MP. I explained this to the nice MP and he wrote the ticket for a speed that did carry a fine but no court appearance.
almost got one. early in the morning. still pretty dark. I could see a bunch of flashing lights ahead. you're supposed to get in the right hand lane, but I could see a car coming up on my right. next thing I knew, I thought I was gonna HIT a cop who walked out from between 2 vehicles on the shoulder! then he was behind me with flashing lights blazing?! I explained to him why I didn't get over and kinda bawled him out... for wearing pretty much all BLACK and for walking out from between cars. no ticket... warning... from him and from ME!
I have never had any points on my license... she says as she knocks on her wooden head. how about you?
