Travel Cruise Review

jj_doubleplay asked:


A cop was behind me while I was traveling in a 35 mph zone. I set my cruise control on 33 while the mph zone declined. I thought it changed to 30, but it was actually 25. The cop behind my pulls me over and asks me if I know how fast the zone is. I say 30 and he tells me its 25. He gives me a ticket for going 38 mph in a 25. 13 over.

I ask him if he had me on radar, he says no, but he was tracking me.

He also threatens to give me another ticket for not signaling while changing lanes, even though i did signal.

On my way home driving back on the same road, I see that the speed limit is 30. So i turn around and check what it is in the direction that I was traveling, and it was 25. Two different speed limits on the same road, depending on which way you go.

This is my 3rd ticket, and I have very few if any points left on my license.

I haven’t taken a driver’s class yet, but i want to keep my license. I don’t care about the money, i’m just concerned about the points and insurance policies.

What should I plead to keep my license?

On 1/25/08 at 8:15 PM. I was going East and the State Cop was going West, then made a U turn to pull me over. He said he clocked me at 65 in a 45 mile zone, but I told him I was going 60 (I know because I had my cruise control set for 60). He gave me a break and put me at 55 so that I could pay $85 by mail (which I can handle) but I am concerned about my Auto Insurance going up since now I have a new speeding record. I am a 59 year old respectable woman and the last time I was pulled over for speeding in the same state was 2/10/06 and before that, 11/22/02. I didn’t give him any lip, but geez I was going to be late for work. I travel 84 miles a day (round trip) to work 5 days a week and I happened to be running late because of a neighbors stressful (the State took her 3 children into custody) phone call and she was crying her eyes out! I hated to hang up on her so ubruptly, so I had to make up for it with speeding. I work at a casino and they are very strict about tardiness!
No, kencab, I didn’t ramble on. I only told him that I thought I was going 60. I rambled on to Yahoo Answers to give you all the information you would need to help me make a decision in whether or not I might stand a chance if I appealed it in court hoping that the Cop won’t show up, but thanks for your answer anyway, it’s appreciated.
Thank you Marc X, I appreciate your expertise and constructive criticism, and thanks to everyone for your help.
Okay guys listen up! I’m not looking for a “Free Ride”! I said “I have no problem paying the ticket”. I was just concerned about it going against my insurance. I wondered if it was possible to pay the ticket in court but having the judge squash it after I pay so my insurance doesn’t go up again!
