W...It looks like luck wasn’t on your side that day. Well, it’s really a hassle to receive a ticket. The only thing that people can do when it happens is to accept the mistake, take hold of responsibilities, and never let the bad experience ruin your day.<br /><br /><a href="http://justbailbondtx.livejournal.com/923.html" rel="nofollow">Norma Richards @ Just Bail Bonds</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14536567670854095820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932729936859104311.post-18493705577011242072014-01-14T12:14:53.097-06:002014-01-14T12:14:53.097-06:00Nice story!

Good thing all I got were speeding tickets and not serious injuries. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.theadvocateattorney.com/" rel="nofollow">Doris Carver @ TheAdvocateAttorney.com</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05663194584625473532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932729936859104311.post-58943541068773812362011-05-31T21:21:23.830-05:002011-05-31T21:21:23.830-05:00I drive from New York City to Boston regularly. I...I drive from New York City to Boston regularly. I've been doing this since 1995. And from 2003-2005, I would drive from DC to Boston so I am very familiar with the roads of the Northeast corridor.<br /><br />I never go over 90! I keep it at 75mph but usually pass at 80-85mph. <br /><br />Two years ago I was driving back to NYC. I was in Rhode Island (BTW, Providence has great S-curves) and just crossed over into Connecticut. A few exits in, I accelerated up a hill and on the way down, saw a Connecticut State Trooper on the side of the road. A perfect speed trap! I knew I was going to be stopped. I wasn't even listening to rock music. I tend to speed when Freebird plays. But on this day, I was listening to an audio book. (Alyson Noel's "Evermore") <br /><br />Connecticut is notorious for issuing speeding tickets...just ask David Letterman. <br /><br />My ticket was just over $250. I wasn't angry and didn't give the cop attitude. I just signed the form and went on my way. <br /><br />Honestly, I am surprised I haven't been stopped before. So if you do the math, $250 divided by 15 years of speeding, averages out to $17/year. <br /><br />I am now more careful driving through Connecticut. I look for that speed trap each time and no patrol cars have been there since!Loving Spinsterhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04752329401858173606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932729936859104311.post-27339701084415522172011-05-31T19:47:48.111-05:002011-05-31T19:47:48.111-05:00So here in blogger world, we give awards :) I just...So here in blogger world, we give awards :) I just found this out because I am pretty new at this too... Anyway I have passed on a Versatile Blogger Award to you!! You can come to my painfully neglected but somehow "award-winning" OTHER blog to claim it and see blogger world imposed rules for this sort of thing :) Congrats!Everyday Bag of Weirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16399847493613514882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932729936859104311.post-68823238802131291452011-05-31T14:11:46.107-05:002011-05-31T14:11:46.107-05:00I don't get tickets anymore for three reasons:...I don't get tickets anymore for three reasons: 1.) I don't speed THAT often (or where I know cops lurk). 2.) I'm old. They take pity--I can see it in their eyes: "Geeze, she could be my mom! And by her expression, I'd guess her life probably sucks--so how can I add to her burden? And 3.) We have magic license plates. By that I mean we pay extra to get Law Enforcement Memorial plates, where the extra money goes to the families of officers slain on duty, and we get plates that prove we're fabulous people who deserve special consideration. If we were to add a Volunteer Firefighter sticker to the back window, we could probably park on the White House lawn. Or not.Kakihttp://kakiwarner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932729936859104311.post-8811061593417994902011-05-31T13:10:21.920-05:002011-05-31T13:10:21.920-05:00I hate that feeling...that just passed a cop, crap...I hate that feeling...that just passed a cop, crap, how fast was I driving feeling!

Here in PA, they tack on an extra $50 to $100 for a catastrophic fund (for those who don't have insurance). So, here it's nothing for a speeding ticket to be $200 or more for going 15 miles over the limit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06059049146764159067noreply@blogger.com
