Bah, this is a small ticket. When I got mine back to back (same freaking weekend by the same cop on the same stretch of highway, consecutive citation numbers too) tickets for going 78 and 77 in a 55 it was a $172.10 ticket. That was an expensive moronic weekend if I ever must say so myself.

Hmmm........so.......you made that cop's weekend!!! Also looks like your a slooooow learner!!! :compress:
When i worked for the Milwaukee Sentinel, we got away with alot because of who we were. I got pulled over twice for speeding too. The first time, going up Capital Drive in Milwaukee,(going 60 in a 30 zone) the cop laughed and said "I should have KNOWN it was a sentinel van!" He then turned to walk away and i said "Want a free newspaper?" He said "Sure! How about one for my partner too!" So that was my "fine".
The second time wasn't so nice.......i was sick, and my boss told me i could go home when i finished my deliveries. It was raining, i was going up
Silver Spring Drive.....it was 2am......the light turned red, i hit the brakes and started to slide........i looked and there were no cars, so instead of losing control and sliding through the intersection, i floored it and went through the red light. I looked in my rear view mirror, and WAAAAAY back saw the lights of a cop car. I thought "That can't be for me.....he's too far away!" I was wrong.....it was for me......i pulled over, rolled down my window, and the cop went ape sh*t on me. Grabbed me and pulled me out of the van, screamed at me nose to nose, yanked me back to his car, pointed at his radar gun and said "WHATS THE SPEED LIMIT HERE!?!?" i said "30"......he said "WHAT DOES THE RADAR SAY?" I said "60"......and he said "YOU ALSO WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT!" And ripped me for about 10 minutes. I was shaking so bad i thought i was gonna pass out. He yelled "Give me you license, and go back and sit in your van!" He made me wait.....then came back to my van and handed me my license, saying "What i just handed you will become MINE if i EVER see you come through here like that again!" He turned and started walking away....I said "Sir....does that mean i can go?" And he said "Yeah.....get out of here." I saw him the next week, and thanked him for not writting me a ticket. He told me "I sometimes wonder if i'm doing the right thing letting you guys go. I don't want you to lose your job, but i also don't want to come here some night and have to scrape you or someone else off the pavement with a shovel." I told him i learned my lesson.....and i did. I never did anything even close to that again.
(End of today's lesson!) :thumbleft: LOLOL!!!
