Default Another damn ticket!

48 in a 35...nothin special, BUT another damn ticket!. + failure to display license plate (front)

I was on a road that has a 45mph speed limit that kinda merges with another road that is 35. With the road empty, 8am on somewhat of a back road, I was just crusin home with my morning coffee. It sux how the cops pic out those nice little spots to get ya. Good thing he didn't catch me vtechin (redline) through 1st and 2nd only moments before and glad I at least slowed down a bit before he got me.

This is my 4th ticket for speeding in a lil over 2 years (since I've had my S), one of the tickets being out of state.

I can't believe I got cited for failure to display my front licence plate. It may be illegal, but this is the 1st time out of living/driving in 4 different states, all of which require front license plates, that I've gotten cited for it...and I've been pulled over many times in my years of driving...maybe I've gotten lucky with that till now

Anyways I just needed to vent a lil bit. I really try not to speed most of the time...I just have this damn lead foot I can't seem to get rid of!

Last month I got one for 48 in a 30. Fine was 200 dollars and my insurance will go from 266/month to 299 a month when my insurance renews in January. I'm good for 2 or 3 tickets a year.

Drive fast, take chances.


Just don't get caught!


If you get caught, you are doing it wrong. It's not the cops fault, it's YOURS!

Quit your whining, suck it up, and take it like a man. We all get tickets from time to time.

BTW -- The most ticketed car I ever drove was a full-size pickup truck. I have only ever gotten one ticket in my S2000 after 2 1/2 years of ownership. So it's not the cop, it's not the car, it's YOU.
