I thought that excuse was one of the top ten to get out of a ticket..

If i was a cop and someone told me their child had to pee, and I looked and the kid had it's legs crossed, I'd let them go.

In the 70's if that had happened you'd take your kid out of the car and let him pee on the side of the road while the cop was writing the ticket.. if you do that today they'll give you a summons for dumping raw sewage AND indecent exposure.. and probably 3 or 4 other violations..

The last ticket I got was speeding down 235. I was going 72. The school called me at work and told me my daughter was wheezing (she has asthma). I thought she had gotten past asthma cause she hadn't had an attack in about 8 months. I didn't send an inhaler to the nurse that school year. Well, i get the call and nurse asks me to bring inhaler ASAP (wasnt bad enough to involve ambulance). So my daughter laid on couch and waited for me. I left work and get almost there and wah lah, state cop does a u-turn and gets me. I admit my guilt and tell him my reason. He tells me to sit tight, goes to his car, writes a ticket, and tells me he hopes my daughter feels better soon.

I have never gotten a ticket from a county cop. They have always given warnings. State cops give me a ticket every time.

:roflmao: You are such a victim, aren't you? If you were charged with 50 in a 30, what was your real speed? That should be circled on your ticket next to where they entered the speeds you are charged with.

You started out wanting to challenge the accuracy of radar that caught you speeding. You admit that the radar caught you doing exactly what it said you were, yet you want to waste taxpayer money by making the police prove what you already know, that their radar works.

Now you want sympathy because you were too oblivious to be aware of the speed limit on the road you got caught on. Distracted drivers are the biggest threat on the road today. It sounds like you are one of them if you don't even know aht the speed limit is.

I never asked for sympathy. I also admitted it was a mistake.

And saying you were with the flow of traffic is pointless.

That's like saying, "He should've pulled overyone else over to."

There must've been something that triggered you being pulled over - flowing with traffic wasn't it. And, they (if it's Charles) wouldn't give you two points for that.

I'm guessing, either:
You were going a little faster, passed the cop, or passed some other cars.

Maybe there was something with your car, similar car reported stolen, or maaybe you just had a taillight out, that triggered him to pull you over and not someone else.

But you weren't keeping with the flow of traffic, were you? You were the only car on a backroad somewhere. :tap:

On a back road between to larger roads, there were many cars all going the speed I was. By the time I got to the cop, they had pulled off into other streets. The cop was sitting on what I'm guessing is a speed trap in the driveway over a bridge.

Yes I was speeding, no, I don't know how fast. The speed I was travelling at was based on the road, the conditions, and the traffic that (was) around me at the time.

Was the cop wrong to pull me over? No. Was he wrong to give me a ticket? No. Do I think the ticket is deserved? No. Will I try to get out of it if I can? Yes. Will I feel bad about it? No.

I sent them an e-mail and they said it would be decided by the judge. Maybe it would be different if I called *shrug*

I thought the State Attorney was the one that gave the judge the option of Community Service in lieu of a fine and points. You write them, they make the decision to make that an option, and then present it to the judge at your hearing.

You can ask the judge for community service? Others have been saying I should talk to the attorney general. What if the judge says no? Can I talk to the attorney general then?

I'm sorry but if you're this ignorant, you shouldn't even be driving. :smack:
