My spinning wheels charge was quoted as 21-1117(c).

which of these paths is better, iyo:

A) "No, the cop is lying, I didn't run the red light, he just made it up because he thought I was black (or insert some other conspiracy theory about why the cop made up someone running through a red light)."
B) "Yes, its true, I ran the red light because I'm insane and there isn't a good reason for it."
C) "Yes, it's true, the roads hadn't been plowed yet and I couldn't get my car to stop. I've never done anything like that before, and I'm very sorry."
A). Although without the ********. Say - It was green when I went through or there was another guy that did it, or who the **** cares. The important thing is that it's the only one where you don't admit to breaking the law.

Generally cops and judges don't give a **** why you break the law. So declaring yourself guilty is generally a bad idea. IMO.

Since I don't have a strong opinion on the matter, I'll play devil's/god's advocate.


Is this a brag? As a fellow motorist am I supposed to applaud you for driving like a ****** and getting away with it? I know you're also somehow partially responsible for my rates increasing...


On the other hand.

You constantly defy the wishes of the Celestial and partake in an activity where the God's have decreed that only winged beasts should hold absolute domain...

So, kudos to that.

They also generally don't give a **** IF you broke the law. If your goal is to be declared not guilty, letting a judge decide your fate after hearing from both you and the cop is not the way to do it. Will the prosecution fulfill their burden of proof? F no, and that's why if you appeal to a circuit court with a jury your case will be heard 100% of the time. And maybe the first judge's decision will be overruled, but (1) he won't care or probably even be made aware of it and (2) he assumed in the first place you would be too lazy or too ignorant to take it that far, and he's probably right, so unless you DO plan on taking it that far, don't worry about admitting guilt to a judge because you will be found guilty, and the only way to get leniency is to admit to it.

How about a 4wd and finding a trail and go buck on that. Or sign up for time at the racing track.

My perception that I get screwed over has been developed by cops who treat the safe things I do as if they were unsafe. A large number of my tickets have been issued for going 10-20mph over the speed limit on open, empty roads. Considering my general attentiveness on the roads and the quality of maintenance on the vehicles that I drive, this is extremely safe, and not deserving of the tickets I receive. I do take pride in beating tickets for actions that didn't hurt anybody and were never likely to hurt anybody. The things I do that are legitimate safety concerns I take no pride in, but those are rare.
There's no way you've gotten a large portion of 50 tickets for doing 10-20 over on empty roads. Do you mean 10-20 over the 10-15 over that normal people do?

EDIT: Probably more precise to say that you haven't gotten those tickets solely because you were driving at those speeds.

I'm assuming you don't drive 10-20 mph over the speed limit much, or if you do it's in an area where everybody does 10-20 mph over and you don't get outside of that area often. I used to think 10-20 over was normal when I lived just north of DC in Maryland, because the speed limit within 20 miles of the city is 55 mph on a huge 12 lane highway and the average speed is around 70. Maybe that's why I still think 10-20 over is normal. I don't think I will be the only one in this thread to tell you that 10-20 over in most of America will get you a lot of speeding tickets. The only exceptions are near large cities. Furthermore I drive about 50,000 miles per year. Of all the hard to believe stuff I post, the fact that I've received over 25 speeding tickets over 12 years of driving close to 1/2 million miles at 10-20 mph over the speed limit shouldn't be at all shocking.

Why not just buy a radar detector? It seems like a $200 investment could save you a lot of money, time, and hassle, no?

will you make another thread after you run down some kids crossing the street? And then blame them for playing too close to your race track?

At your trial/sentencing we will make sure they have a copy of this thread as an example of your lack of repentance.

Basically, I just don't believe you're not putting other peoples' lives/health in danger. That's bad. I think you know it or should, which makes it just horrible. I hope upon hope it won't happen, but if you DO hurt someone badly or kill them, it won't be an "accident". It will be your fault.

Wow, big shock. You're a terrible driver - who would have thought?

Weird that tailgating someone at 100mph might not be a good idea.

I remember like 2 years ago you posted a bunch of AIDS-infested thoughts about driving. Cool stories, bro!

How come your military status doesn't get you out of most of your tickets?

I understand that cops really enjoy f'ing with some people, but I would have thought active duty military would be WAY down on the bottom their list, probably somewhere close to other cops.

Or maybe you got pulled over 700 times and only got the 50 tickets.

i have a sneaking suspicion d10 is a complete ******* and the majority of cops can't wait to book him once they pull him over.

every cop i know will only write active military if they are doing something unbelievably stupid and/or dangerous

that's probably why he actually gets tickets

I also assume that once the cops see that he's been given 50 odd tickets any thought of giving him leniency is gone.

Like I said, the military thing only helps when far away from military bases. The closer you are to a military base, the less effective playing the military card is. In fact if you're within 10 miles I think it hurts more than it helps, probably because a bunch of ****** E-3 kids buy $40,000 sports cars when they get home from a deployment and wreak havoc amongst the local populace.

Why don't you break loose a $1,000 and go where the real drivers are. First few laps you ride shotgun, then you take the wheel. That should separate the real drivers.

Rough being in the US. These things follow you around =(

In Canada, you can just jump over to an adjacent province and have a fresh start.

Then once you've burned out all of them, it's to the states.

Most interstates run above or below something. A lot of stupid things trigger radar detectors within the city. Outside the city, you'll always be following a rabbit. Now, supposing you're the rabbit, it might be a good idea.
