  • shit got a fucking $150 ticket today for going 70 in a 65.  FUCKING 150 dollars.  for some reason I think I'm going top plead not guilty and pray the cop doesn't show to court.  Or use the I have ADD excuse I used last time to get off

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>How was 5 miles over 150 dollars? What state do you live in? Some states have "proposed" speed limits, where if you state how you felt it was safe to go 70 at that time, it will be dismissed.</div>
