I got pulled over for speeding out of state 2 weeks ago....yes, surprise, surprise....I know. (No harrasment please!) I thought the ticket would be really high, because I was (it painse me to even write this) almost 30 mph over the speed limit.
Yeah, it had just turned from 70 to 65 to 55 all within a really short distance, and I hadn't slowed down yet when he got me. So, I'm thinking like, $300 or close to it. He didn't give me the amount on the spot--I had to wait to weeks and then call "Criminal Court." (Yeah, that'll make a person feel real good about themselves.)
So, I called today, and it was $100 less than I expected....Yea!
(Let me just insert something real quick. I know after reading this, you guys are thinking, "Wow. She deserved to be in that wreck then, the little speed-demon." Not quite. Just get that out of your head. The two are totally unrelated. I was NOT speeding when I got in the wreck. Just had to clear that up!) =)~
So, now, I won't be speeding. I'll be hesitant to go through an intersection EVEN when I have a green arrow. People behind will be frustrated, but that's okay. I'm just gonna drive like a great-grandma. (I had to throw the GREAT-grandma in there, because my Gramma reads this, and I don't want her to be offended!!)
And now, I have $100 to buy Christmas presents with, that I wasn't expecting to have! Woo-hoo. Things are looking better by the minute.

SLOW DOWN!!
Ha Ha.
I will have to admit that the whole speed=crash thang did cross my mind....
yeah, yeah, yeah
Jorge, usually, I would talk the officer out of giving me a ticket, but I was tired, and grouchy, and my mom was with me--so I didn't exactly feel comfortable flirting with this old guy in front of her!! =)
I'll post pics of my new wheels soon!
I will abstain from fussing about the speeding in order to point out that the Grandma reference was still telling! ;-)
We truly hope you're doing well and are looking forward to hearing about your new wheels!
Did your mom fuss at you? If she didn't...then I WILL:-)
Glad it turned out not as much as you thought. Oh, and you can tell Kc about the new wheels, I would love to hear about your new car, hehe.
God's Grace.
Jeep Liberty, eh? I loked at one of those the other day & liked what I saw. Too bad somebody bought it before I could...
Speeding tickets, like accidents are horrible. But at least you were pleasantly surprised. Mine are usually more than I think they should be.
I always say (after getting a speeding ticket) that I'm going to slow down. I do for awhile. But I'm an impatient driver....
You are OK, and you are priceless! Enjoy your holiday!
Yes, Corry, EVERYBODY fussed at me...no shortage of that!
J, if there was a bus that ran from my house to work, I might consider taking it. Unfortunately, that option is not available!
Thanks everyone for your comments!
Sorry girl, for fussing and I didn't mean to hurt you with it. But it's done out of love:-) I think you know that. Forgive me?
God's Grace.
Corry, don't be sorry for fussing!! I needed it! I'm not hurt by it at all. I need to slow down. Of course, if it makes you feel better, I will tell you you are forgiven, even though there was no offense taken! =)
Thanks, I feel better, hehe.
Kc said next time he will play bad cop, he doesn't mind being offensive(big grin).
God's Grace.
