Speeding Ticket?

also just try google, fighting speeding tickets or something like that

you the man

i have a friend who is the an editor MPH magazine, which is a newer car mag. He gets a ton of speeding tickets, obviously with the cars he gets to drive, and he gets out of all of them. I think the motorist site has a book that they will send you on how to get out of a ticket based on a technicality or what not. For example: the radar gun has not been calibrated recently enough or the officer used a radar gun that he did not train on. Just little things like that can get a ticket dissmissed in court. Good Luck!!!!

I actually didn't get pulled over though

I'm talkin to a kid right now who believes that they no longer can radar gun you in canada and then send you a ticket in the mail, that they have to pull you over.

is thius true?

hmm i dont know about that one. i am in the U.S. and at least in Michigan they can't pull that shit. I think this is true with a lot of the states. In Cali they have radar set up on the side of the road, with no cops. If you speed passed it then a picture of your plate is taken and you get sent a ticket. Maybe just do a little research on the internet, i dont know what your laws are. All i know is I am a huge advocate of reasonable and prudent speed limits, number limits are complete bullshit. I had a huge research paper in high school on this topic.

Just one fact that most people dont know is that the year that Montana switched from reasonable and prudent speed to a numbered speed the highway fatalities doubled. Speed limits are all bull shit government propaganda.

can you explain reasonable and prudent speed limits?

like no posted limit?

the sign would say "reasonable and prudent" instead of a number. this gives drivers the degression to make a decision on a safe speed to drive. this speed policy was implemented here in montana for awhile. Cops still do give tickets under this policy. Actually the tickets increased in Montana when the speed was reasonable and prudent. So you as the driver decide the proper speed based on: your vehicle condition (tires, brakes, etc,) weather conditions, road condition, traffic, time of day, etc. Many people think that reasonable and prudent is a non existant speed limit. This is definitly not the case. An example i read about regarding montana, was a out of state driver was coming through montana in a 1987 olds something or other with bald tires. He was driving 95 mph and a officer pulled him over. the driver got all pissed, saying that there is not a speed limit. The officer asked him "do you really feel this is safe going 95 in this vehicle?"

Another issue with speed limits is drivers feel they have to drive the speed limit regardless. I know that there are roads with a limit of 55mph near my parents house that i will not drive 55 at night, with deer and how narrow the road is.

I mean why does a driver here in Montana have to drive 75 on a wide open interstate, when you can see miles in all directions, the weather is good and there is no traffic? A lot of the better cars nowadays are very safe at higher speeds. I mean driving my lifted Jeep at 75 is a hell of a lot more dangerous then driving my dads 330i at 120mph. And at 120mph I am sure the 3 series will stop in a shorter distance than my Jeep.

sorry for rambling on, I should just post my 10 page research paper for the people that are interested.

and sorry for typos or shit that doesn't make sense, I am running on 3 hrs of sleep (college life) and i definitly did not reread this

oh and the primary reason for fewer fatalities was the fact that drivers wore their seatbelts without evening having a law (yes, thats right we as human being can think on our own and make the right decisions without the government telling us what is right or wrong,) drivers were much more alert and focused on driving (they weren't setting the car on cruise, eating a big mac and falling asleep,) and they were using proper lane utalization (Pass on left, drive in the right etc)

the lowest collision rates are drivers that drive 5-10 over the posted limits and the highest are the drivers that drive 5 under the limit.

On the auto bahn three simple rules apply
Drive in the right
pass on the left
focus only on driving

here is a enlightening article to check out

check this

on the autobahn you do not get tickets for going 120mph in most parts, but if your car runs out of gas and is on the side of the road you get a ticket. The Germans know the really driving dangers and penalize drivers for them. they dont just hand out bull shit tickets to raise revenue.

good luck, my friend who drives me to school everyday just got one of those, but the judge is taking it off his record if he does an online class

....wore their seatbelts without even having a law...


sorry bout the typo

Well I'm pleading Not Guilty to a 97 in a 65 (sounds irresponsible but if you were there you would disagree). I was in the left lane and my exit was coming up. The right lane was chock a block full and I couldn't get in because the cars were all tailing eachother. I hit the gas hard and go from about 84 to 94 and just as I'm overtaking the last car BAM! hidden cop nails me at the top speed I was traveling before I slowed myself into the right lane. My hope is that by presenting a good case I may at least be dropped to 90 so I may be allowed to do traffic school. I know I was not traveling faster than 94 from the speedometer. Its bullshit that I face such penalties for driving prudently and not forcing myself into the right lane, which could have caused a fatal collision. Maybe you consider 84 fast, but I don't when its a straight line flat highway during a perfectly clear day and I'm driving a Honda Accord thats in perfect condition. Everyone else was traveling around this speed safely. That cop probably had a fucking field day pulling people over.
