Interesting that they use salary as a way to figure out how much the fine will be. Since i am starting pharmacy school in a couple weeks and wont have a job i guess they might just take my "S" away since i am too poor to pay any fine .....

highest i paid was $350 for going 80 in a 60 on the turnpike near orlando, being a construction zone didnt help

ok, $1000, 87mph in a 45mph= criminal offense, had to get a lawyer
I told the officer my car didn't go that fast, he laughed and made me come back to his car to show me my un-impressive driving record. got lucky he let me drive home cause i was turning into my neighborhood.

Congratulations on not killing someone who was trying to make a safer road for your asshatery. That shit just turns my stomach. Working in the industry you have no idea how many close calls we experiance due to people like you. We have families and contrary to popular belief are not second class citizens.

Now you may be a cool person, I don't know I've never met you but I hope that in the future you think twice before driving like that in a work zone. Theres been quite a few times that I've been the only person in a work zone at night due to a service call and could've easily been taken out. Just cause you don't see fleets of trucks with flashers doesn't mean noones there.
