well...sort of...heres the story
Ok so today was my court date to go in for a speeding ticket i got a few weeks ago...86 in a 55. 31 over. 5 point ticket.
I got there 45 minutes early, dressed really nice, was polite to everyone
I show up and theres a kid there who got caught doing 96 in a 55. He went to talk to the prosecutor before me and he was given an obstruction of traffic violation, 0 point ticket.
Then i go in and the prosecutor is a real d-bag...hes like: 84 in a 55, 4 point ticket. take it or leave it. Im like, sir can i please plead for unsafe operations, he said "you can, but im not going to give it to you"...then im like, sir i have my driving record (which is clean) to prove im not a trouble maker...then hes like "did i ask for your driving record or did i say take it or leave it?" so i took the 4 pt ticket while grinding my teeth ..and feel like i really got fcked because the kid that went in before me got 0 points...and was speeding worse than i was.
then the judge came in after i was waiting in the courtroom and read out loud what i had to do..pay 225 dollar fine or something, 4 point ticket...then i was polite and said your honor can i please plead for unsafe operations...he said no, but he did arrange it so i did get a 2 point ticket, 156$ fine plus a 33 dollar court fee.
after today though im a strong beleiver in that quote "everything happens for a reason"...because actually, i paid 189 for fines, as opposed to 439 for unsafe operations, got 2 points as opposed to 0, but i called my insurance and they said there will be NO surcharge for the ticket. so i paid a cheap fine, no insurance surchage, was out of there in less than 3 hours, AND i still have cash left over to buy stuff for the camaro
but anyone reading this please take my advice...DONT SPEED! i sure as hell learned my lesson. it doesnt pay to speed, and you really can kill someone, or even yourself, i really think i got lucky today..but that doesnt mean anybody else will on another day, so do yourself a BIG favor and avoid the situation before it happens.
...dont speed people
