    Speeding is bad mmkay...

    So I got a $298 speeding ticket yesterday... My last ticket was in June for of course speeding (35 in a 25) this one is 84 in a 50. I figure I can get it reduced a little bit but if I can't then I'm screwed. Other than those tickets nothing else on my record. Should I try to get it reduced or am I just fucked? I can't remember if they were in different counties but this one is in Whatcom. Any suggestions?

    HAving a ticket in June doesn't help, but there's been several threads here on how to get out of tickets. Good luck with 84 in a 50 though. I'd consider yourself lucky you wasn't thrown in jail for that speed in that kind of zone, a $298 ticket is really cheap for that offense.

    My friend calls speeding "an investment in getting there faster".

    84 in a 50? And you are complaining about a $300 ticket... you got off lucky.

    ^Surprised you didn't get your license taken away on the spot. I got caught going 23 over and they almost took mine. Instead ended up paying $200.

    I figure I will. Hm so my best bet is to just pay the damn thing?

    The two times I went to court for my tickets, the only thing they did was lower the points and increase the fine. I can't really see them lowering the fine on that high of a speeding ticket.

    I have not gone down a road without speeding in years, but I'm not stupid about it. 84 in a 50 is retarded and I hope they don't lower the fine.

    Going anything more than 15 over is stupid

    30 over is a felony i'm pretty sure.

    also, sucks to have to pay it but i really don't think you'll get a break on this one.

    fight it in traffic court, speeding tickets gives you points and increases your premium. You're able to set a date and reschedule for up to 3 times (depending on which state)
    look it up online.

    I did 90+ in a 65 zone before. The catch...the spedometer on the car I did it in stopped at 85, so I wasn't able to get an accurate reading beyond that. It might very well have been 100 for all I know.

    Also, I had a college professor who grew up in Southeastern Montana. He admitted to doing 120ish on the interstate there, and got caught once. His reasoning was that the place was flat and barren and very few cars travel there, so it somehow makes you want to, subconsciously, get the hell out as quickly as possible.

    Normally I'd suggest fight it, but for 34 over you should just pay it. If I were the cop you'd be in jail.

    How do license point systems work, anyway? I don't believe Washington has points.

    Speaking of which, why does the rest of the country not live in Washington? We have no point system, tips can't be counted against minimum wage, no state income tax, no extreme weather or temperatures... just a bunch of rain.
