I am this way as well. No matter how much I am doing everything right, I always panic a little bit when I see cops. I try to drive no more than 6 over the limit, or at the very most, 9 over, and I stay in the slow lane.

When were the new fines repealed? Is this BRAND new fines? or the old new fines from last June? Is there a tread talking about this?

Re: Speeding ticket

It was all those $2000 state "dengerous driver" fines for DUI and driving without insurance and all. They passed last year, pissed everyone off, and were repealed about a month ago.

Re: Speeding ticket

Smokey Bear, do you every pull people over for doing less than 65 in the left lane?

I was behind a pickup doing 70mph and we passed a trooper, he slammed the brakes and almost made me hit him, we were doing 53mph when he stopped braking.
