Well this day is off to a crappy start

My H just got pulled over for going 28 in a 25 and got a ticket. I'm like, seriously? This sucks. Not only will we have to pay the ticket, but our insurance rates will probably go up. What an awesome way to start a Monday, huh?

I don't think your insurance will go up on a first ticket.

I'm sorry. That is a really shitty way to start your Monday.

That's good to know. Thanks.

Wow, someone is a go-getter! Giving out minor tickets at the beginning of the month. I had a ticket for much worse than this (I think 63 in a 45), and I just had to pay for and attend a class for safe driving. Totally sucked, but it kept points from going on my license.

Around here, if you plead not guilty they'll knock it down. I had my first speeding ticket in years, and it was way more than 3 miles above the speed limit, and they knocked it down to a parking ticket. I had a bigger fine, but no points on my license and no impact on my insurance.

Somebody was bored. Fight it, see if you can just pay the fine.

I would fight that. I'm sure the judge will dismiss the ticket in a second. That's so trivial and I'm shocked he got pulled over.

[RoxMonster]

Yeah we are going to look into fighting it. If not, we definitely want to try to get it expunged from his record by taking that class. I know he was technically in the wrong by speeding, but it sucks. It was two blocks from our house. And I thought maybe only going 3 over it would be a cheaper fine; nope $120 regardless.

And I can hear the "whoop whoop" noise of him pulling someone else over right now. Must be how this cop is going to spend his day.
