Who is going to give up first? greg or Nozsr?

now I cant even move it to the thread it belongs to, both cuz greg is too funny and cuz id have to delete a bunch of posts, and eff that.

no, see, thats why you put it in the fridge, so that you never have to google about eating mold


also, I generally like the british spellings and pronunciations better, but mould is ****ing ******ed.

I got mold too. I thought it was just me because I do mold remediation. Weird.

I was ahead for a while but now I'm tapping out. Gg Noszr

Gregorio - You are a man among men.

I got pulled over today for the first time in over 10 years. I was given a 206 dollar ticket for driving while using a handheld device.

That seems quite high to me.

I was very nice to the cop. He still gave me the ticket. But because "I'm a working man" if I plead Not Guilty and show up to court with a hands-free device, a receipt dated after the stop, show him that I know how to use it and bring a certified copy of the last 5 years of my driving history, he will throw the ticket out.

Can he really do that?

Assuming, I do all of that any idea if it shows up for my car insurance and will my premium go up?

If I were an insurance company I would raise my premium, but I don't feel like paying extra for a ticket that gets "thrown out".

Just pay it and forget about it?

Take his word and plead not guilty? Am I screwed with the insurance company either way? FWIW, the license is from PA and the violation occurred in DE.

You should be able to get a hands free device for less than $208. Hell, you could get a good one for less than $100. Seems like it's worth a shot.
Whats your other option? Plead guilty and pay around half that. IF the judge is feeling nice? Plus whatever insurance rates will climb?

I got an out-of-state speeding ticket, sent a check (like a real check) to the appropriate court and never heard a peep out of my insurance company

Looks good, would smash.

Amoeba would know better than I, but the characters look like what they're supposed to be, a shorthand version of xiao long bao where they only wrote the xiao and the bao.

BGP living the dream

That's Vietnam for you. If I were still in philippines that would look a lot uglier.

So? What happens if you eat mold?

Villian,
I’ve at least had an analogous situation where I received a ticket for driving with expired plates (not long expired, by less than a month), but was told that if I brought proof of renewal within 7 days the ticket would be dropped. They met their end of the deal once I did.

BGP - If you were still in the philippines you wouldn't have 5k VND bia hoi and 20k banh mi available either!

Also true, but that means I'm missing out on balut

Unfortunately I've had to give up pork, so that means a lot of banh mis are off limits to me but I do enjoy the places that offer chicken.

"missing out on" is not a phrase that I'm used to seeing prefacing the word balut

if they had used balut on the bad guys instead of waterboarding after 9/11, there wouldn't be any terrorism left in the world today

I was joking; it's one of the most repulsive things I've ever seen before. Great conversation starter if you meet a Filipino though.

So far Philippines has been the worst food destination I've visited.

Yeah it's got the worst brag:delicious ratio of any cuisine in the world.

I figure anything worth eating America has already stolen and made better.

Balut is awful.

Lonely: japan tho.

villian,

I like you, but good. People who use their cellphones while driving are insanely irresponsible, and I wish more people got tickets for this.

That said, I would imagine what he told you is true, I don't see any reason why he would lie about it. Id do which ever is the most cost effective, paying the $206 or dealing with all that crap and showing up at court.

I totally agree. The thing is, I wasn't really "on" my phone. I had it on speaker phone but it was technically in my hand. It wasn't to my ear. I was stopped at a light. He was next to me in an unmarked car and I guess he saw me talking and holding my phone. The phone was in my hand that was by the shifter. I'm still not sure how he saw it.

I looked at the specific law and he seems to be correct BUT a first time offender is always fined $100 not $206. 2nd and third offenses carry a $200-$300 fine. Maybe because I had an out of state license he couldn't see that this was my first offense? Not sure why he went with $206.
