I got a speeding ticket this morning!
figures- I was running late and totally not paying attention to how fast I was going
But the office was cool and said as long as my Uncle- who is retired Highway Patrol calls him- he wont show up to court
but now I have to go to court in the Bronx- that should be fun
I am so mad at myself!

oh no, that stinks! 
I am so overdue for a speeding ticket. I do 75-80 on the Sprain everyday, when the speed limit is 55. Everyone else is going that fast though!

Re: I got a speeding ticket this morning!
he told me to go 65- which is 15 mph over the speed limit and highway patrol will never pull you over
I had the hardest time keeping at 65mph- I felt like I was going so slow

Dead people don't show up late, remember that.
Sorry you got a ticket and got delayed longer. No one in our family would ever get us out of tickets.

How much is the ticket? I think it might be worth it to just pay it rather than going to the Bronx Traffic Court!

I know..it really does feel slow.
I used to stay within 15 miles of the speed limit, but after a year and a half+ of this commute from Queens to Westchester, I have become quite the speed demon. I dont even realize it most of the time. It's so bad.

thanks- I'll tell my Uncle not to call him then- yeah right!
I guess you always go exactly the speed limit?
ETA- in all my years of driving- I have never once asked my Uncle to do this
and it was the officers idea- I didn't even know I could
what are PBA cards for- if not to get out of a ticket?

I try- but I do the same kind of commute- and there usually is a ton of trafic before I get to hutch exit- and then I have 5 miles till the thruway toll- and it's hard not to speed there

Re: I got a speeding ticket this morning!
I got one 2 weeks ago... prior to that I had never been pulled over. the cop would have let me go but his superior was with him. I am waiting to find out when my court date will be.

Re: I got a speeding ticket this morning!
sorry- but I always hate how the rules dont apply to cops. (or friends/family of)
You did the crime.....
If your gonna play the system, dont brag about it unless you want to hear how people feel about it.

Re: I got a speeding ticket this morning!
I just don't get how it goes when people are pulled over and they say or do things to get out of it. "Oh hi officer, my uncle is one of you, ya know." Or,"Here's my PBA card, I guess we're done here, right?"

Re: I got a speeding ticket this morning!
My uncle is a Nassau County Detective and I got pulled over many years ago for speeding. When I told the State Trooper my uncle was a PO, he said "Well you should be even more ashamed of yourself for speeding, then." and gave me the ticket.
I had to go to court and plead it down to avoid the points...no help from anyone.

Re: I got a speeding ticket this morning!
I just went to court for my ticket. I was clocked at 55 in a 35 zone. I honestly had no idea the speed limit was 35 there - I was keeping up with traffic.
Anyway they offered me reduced charges (no reduced points) and I accepted it. I have to go to the class to get the points wiped from my record.
I wish the cops in my family were able to help me out but oh well it still worked out I guess.

The same thing happened to me. I had no idea I was speeding as I was going the same speed as everyone else.
I have a question- I already took a 5 hour class. Will I have to take another one to have the pts. reduced?

I'm not sure...sometimes when you go to court, they will drop it down to something that is the same fine and no points. If they wouldn't do that - I would call your insurance agent and find out what the story is as far as reducing points.

honestly- I don't care how you feel about it- I have a PBA card- why shouldn't I use it?
I got out of my last speeding ticket by hiring a lawyer and didn't even have to go to court- so if Nassau county is willing to let you do that- why shouldn't you take advantage?
