Who's good with out of state speeding tickets, pa driver in md. warning long

[MarPar]

Here's a novel idea...Just don't speed and obey the speed limits where they are posted. Problem solved and no out-of-pocket cost at all...Just sayin' is all...cr8crshr/Bill

Where is this courthouse that hands out peanut butter and jelly?

One girl checked left right left before making a turn, didn't see a car to the left pulled out in front of them and sent the driver and son to the hospital, totaled the cars, said she it was a mistake and shed look better next time and the judge gave her PBJ. (probation before judgement)

I am so pleased you spelt that out .....I was thinking why are all these people getting Peanut Butter & Jelly??


Personally I think even that initial fine of $530 was reasonable considering the speed you were caught at.... if it was just a fine, why lawyer up at additional cost...just pay & walk away.

When I was in private practice, I would advise potential clients with poor cases not to expect to win. I often got the reply, "it's a matter of principle." My response was always, "this is what it will cost you, and I need payment in advance." It didn't take long until I was driving a truck again.

Don’t get caught in Ontario Canada either they report back to Pa.

Lesson from this is slow down to get away from a situation, not speed up........

109 in a 65 zone. I'm not sure what there is to appeal ?
I have had a ticket or two but granted none that big.
I think you did ok not riding in the back seat and getting towed and impounded .
Pay the ticket , take what ever class they want you to and buy a lotto ticket, I think you got lucky.

They could have impounded your car and pulled your license on the spot. I would have paid the fine and not drew any attention. As far as reporting it they share driving violations with Pa. As long as you don’t get a survey or switch insurances nothing will happen as far as I know. I had a friend who was insurance salesman and he told me anytime you get a survey from your insurance company throw it away. They are not trying to save you money. They are looking at ways to increase your premiums. I’ve had the same insurance company but has been sold many times since I was 16 so 39 years with the “same” company and no problems. Consider yourself lucky it was only that much and nothing else was done to you. You were doing 49mph OVER the speed limit. Time to move on.

In missouri, 20 over can land you in jail, Class B misdemeanor. This can result in a penalty of up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Other factors, such as reckless driving or causing an accident, can lead to even more serious charges. Going over 100 mph is often considered the "magic number" for incarceration.

I was leaving The NATS bout 6 years ago and they nailed me for 120 in a 65. And I was slowing down lol

The LEO had mercy on me and gave me 96 in a 65. Paid the fine without any question and I do not think I got any points etc on my record as we run MVR's every year for anyone in the company on the insurance policy as a driver and nothing was on there.

The sticker may have helped. lol

For the record, I had an Escort Passport and it did not pick up the radar signal till it was too late. They were using instant on radar.

If you have a CDL in Pa anything 15 mph over the posted limit is a serious offense and never comes off your CDL no matter what you do. If you get caught a second time 15 mph over kiss your CDL good by never to have another in PA, maybe in another state but not Pa. I have a CDL so I watch the posted limits very close to keep under 15 mph over that posted limit. You really did get off easy.

Keep Right except to pass would eliminate a lot of this crap.
Also a lot of law abiders here. I call bullshit.

Never argue with a cop. I was doing 95 miles an hour in a 65 miles zone, when I was pulled over. I was totally honest with the cop, he let me off with a warning.

That's exactly the tack I took with the Ohio Trooper. Don't make an asshole out of them and treat them with respect.

At the end of it, I told him the OSP had the coolest logos. He laughed and agreed.

 

[The not so tall man]

When I want to court The officer literally told the judge "When I pulled him over he was polite and respectful which is pretty rare".

2008 I was leaving Punta Gorda Fl at 8:00 am on a Sat with a 40’ motorhome with a Suburban towing behind it. I was at a 4 way intersection with red lights turning left onto a 4 lane Rt 17. I just got through the center and started moving into the right lane. Out of nowhere came a Fl State Trooper beside me in the grass on the right. I met him at the motorhome door and my first thought was where the F did you come from. The week before this I just graduated from the Dale Carnegie course on dealing with difficult people. I let him ream my *** out really good for running him off the road. I went back to the cruiser and started talking to him about his laptop mount and how I wanted one of them in my motorhome, and if he had any suggestions about his mount. He gave me a stern warning that if I so much as crossed a white or yellow line going out of Fl I would get arrested. I didn’t. My kids still tell people how I ditched a Fl State trooper and got a warning out of it Lol That Dale Carnegie course was paid for right there on the spot.
