Had a nice run-in with the state po-leece

I paid a speeding ticket in 2011 for doing 79 in a 65. $220. Friend recently got another for the same thing in a different county: $367

So....yah.

$171 is about right. They generally double it for the privilege of keeping it off your insurance. I'm surprised the insurance companies haven't raised hell over the blatant fraud of letting people spend money to hide their poor driving (not that I have any pity for insurance companies nor do I think cops should be out nailing speeders unless they are presenting an actual imminent threat).

I got the first ever speeding ticket in my life last year sometime. I personally didn't have trouble paying the above amount, but only because the cop was super nice about not also noting that it was a school zone and work zone. In my defense, it was summer, so no kids, and the work zone was inactive.

Here in Texas me and Phos have had plenty of speeding tickets. They are upwards from 200, and if you want it off your record you can do defensive driving or pay 350 for deferred adjudication. That's why they say Don't Mess with Texas.

I also think it's funny how you have to show up in person to dispute the ticket and schedule a court date, but if you admit fault you can pay online and be done with it. Really, you can't offer that first option through online means?
