so today I got pulled over by the cops, for doing a rolling stop onto a highway merge. I didnt see the car coming down the road, so she pulled me over, the fine was $172! This sucks, do you guys think it will affect my insurance much?(first ticket for anything, two years driving) Also if anyone wants to share their worst ticket I am glad to read about it, lol.

 

Since when in the hell did you need to stop on a highway merge? Was there a stop sign?!

Highway merge is yeild only, in other words you don't need to stop by any means.

 

girls cops at the worst.....but i feel for ya man, tickets suck for sure

i've got 2 speeding tickets and 2 parking tickets and my insurance hasnt gone up at all haha unless the insurance agency is like scanning/checking every single person who they insure's record, they're not gonna raise your $$. Unless of course you're unlucky and they check your sh*t, but maybe you'll get lucky like me

 

it will go up, that is a moving violation.

 

I don't understand what the ticket was for. Why would you do a stop at a merge?

 

actually it shouldn't go up your first violation doesn't go on your insurance record. well thats how it is in La. i got a ticket for 36 in a 25 and mine didnt go up.

 

i got pulled over for 83 in a 65lastwednesday, im pleading notguilty i had cruise control on 77in the right lanetraveling with traffic, i know 77 i stillspeading but im not paying$294 when i wasnt going 83. my last time i gotpulled over was66 in a 40 but the cop let me off with 50 in a 40.

 

I got a ticket for careless driving after hitting the back of a minivan....$120 ticket, insurance more than doubled. Thats what i get for being a 17 yr old guy i guess

I have no idea about your ticket, just sharing a story

 

careless/reckless driving tickets are no joke. I got one 2 years ago for doing donuts in the parking lot. It was like $300 and 2pts (should have been 4, but they reduced it).

To the OP: unless there was a stop sign - it sounds like a BS ticket. I would contest it in court. You shouldn't get any point for it in any case.

 

lol, there was a stop sign so thats my bad, but hopefully the insurance wont go up, at the very least ill know if i get a insurance quote in the mail of my new rate! but im not worried anyways, I paid almost 1 1/2 times as much when I had my 02 civic that was crashed.
