fallfast is right your attitude will help you. I got nailed doing 85 in a 55. I didn't have a current registration or insurance (everything was up to date but didn't have papers) I apoligized a hundred times and told him that i was acting stupid and i usually don't do things like that. I was very nice to him. yes sir no sir. so i ended up getting a 107 fine (pa) for disobeying traffic signs no points. I would have got alot of points and maybe lose my license for a lil...be nice to cops they are people to. they might be a lil bitchy but wouldn't you if you had to deal with aholes all day..

A lot has to do with your attitude during the stop. You said the cop was sitting close to a bar, chances are he was just looking for drunks. What did you say to him when he pulled you over. Most cops won't write for little infractions such as that (some do though), they are just pulling cars over for little things so that they have probable cause to see if the driver of the vehicle is intoxicated or not. When you try and back talk or give the cop a hard time, you end up getting screwed.
When i was learning to drive shift, I almost crashed into a firetruck when I madean illegal "U" turn in a four way stop. I got pulled over by a cop who saw everything, however he was coolabout it when i told him that i was learning to drive shift. All he told mewas to be more careful and that I shouldn't make "U" turns in that coner, I didn't evenhad my license back then[8D]

i was very nice to the cop.
my mom works with them cops from a different county on a regular basis, and she taught me that if they are lecturing you, 99% of the time they arent gonna write you a ticket.

i dont think the cop was waiting for drunks cuz i got the ticket on my way to work at about 10.30AM....

ill call the courthouse later and see if the ticket has posted yet.....

ticket info finally posted:
$125 dollars for the infraction and $26 for legal fees for traffic school. i found an online traffic school for $19.
total cost=$170. all because i was in a hurry to get to work.
weak.

if i go to court and contest to it will they ususally lower the fine?
i literally have no record...no accidents/tickets/arrests or anything.
are the courts usually leniant?
$170 seems a bit steep....lol.

count yourself lucky. A little over a year ago, my friend wrapped his 3000GT around a tree and died because he was in a hurry to get to work. It absolutely sucks to see a 19 year old get put in the ground because he was late to work.
