I got caught speeding by a fucking pig. I was doing 70 in a 35 zone in a wide open street. stupid asshole cop.
Dude, regardless of everything else, 72 in a 35 is nuts. City streets have TONS more danger than freeways or backroads. Pedestrians, side streets, cars pulling out of parking lots, etc etc. You are lucky you didn't lose your license.
I'll admit, I've gone over double the speed limit, but not on a city street-on an empty, long bridge, and that was about 115 in a 55.
When a cop catches you for something that irresponsible, c'mon, ya think he's gonna believe that you were being a good lil law abiding citizen and wearing your seatbelt w/ that much disregard for others' safety?
If you say you were, I'll believe you, but the cop only has reason to think you're lying.
And yeah, you'll get some unfair tickets when you're driving.
I have a $380 ticket for making a rolling right turn. Like 10.30 at night, clear view of the road I was turning on to, obvioous no one was coming. Unfortunately, camera's don't care, and I forgot there was one at that intersection. Thus, a lovely lil ticket for not stopping the whole damn car...
Like I wanna spend nearly $400 for a ticket, not to mention I get to waste a day at traffic school...
