Speeding ticket - need advice

wow wisconsin has a mighty stupid points system. You get the same number of points for driving 75 in a 55 as for drunk driving or trying to elude an officer?!?!?!!? Also failure to stop for a school bus is the same as going 41 in a 30. This is colossally stupid. Its nice that you can get two chances to elude an officer or drive drunk- yikes. Those are 12 point violations not 6 wtf are they thinking. Oh and dont forget driving on the wrong side of the highway thats not a big deal either you can do it 3 times before your license gets suspended. And how is driving 1 mph over speed limit worth 3 points.

Is that site a joke? You should go to court to fight the extreme nonsense that is the wisconsin points system. How much is vehicular manslaughter? 8 points maybe? I think its the same as going 45 in a 30 or failure to signal when turning in a parking lot. wow.

Couldn't he then tell if you were speeding by looking at his odometer?

GO FUCK YOURSELF, PIG!

Brent is right. Although this won't help Wisconsin now since he already has a ticket, it is very possible to get off by being polite and honest. I have been pulled over for speeding six times through my life but still have zero tickets.

As an example, there was one time it was midnight and I was driving 40 in a 30 mph zone. I noticed then that there were headlights in my rearview mirror about half a block back, so I hit the breaks and dropped back to 30. It turned out it was a cop, who then sped up and pulled me over. He asked, if I knew how fast I was going. I told him I wasn't looking at the odometer at first but then noticed I was going 40, so I slowed down. He let me off.

Another time, I truly hadn't seen a reduced speed sign and didn't slow down even though I knew the police officer was trailing me. He pulled me over and I told him this, and mentioned that I was going the right speed already when I first noticed him tailing me. He said that he could see it was probably an honest mistake then, and let me off.

All six incidents were like this.

wow. only $77 for 14 mph over? that's amazing. in texas or louisiana it would cost you around $250, and if you were in a school zone, double that. i agree that you should fight it because every state that i have been in has a law that requires some sort of proof other than 'i just know.'

wstuart--I thought you've posted before that you live in Virginia or something. How will getting a speeding ticket in Wisconsin slow down the drivers in your neighborhood?

You're screwed. Unless you're rich. Then you have a chance. The same thing happened to me. It was my word agains the cop and they f***ed me.

That must have hurt. Why didn't you just ask to pay the fine?

If you win, and you really want to be an asshole (which I would, because I hate pigs), you can sue that pig department. I'd file a lawsuit against those f***ing pigs just to piss them off.

yeh you're right. but he wouldn't have gotten busted if he wasn't speeding. Unless the cop is making all that up, which is highly unlikely.

Oh no, a f***ing pig would NEVER lie!!!!! Please, pigs are some of the most disgusting assholes on this earth. They lie, rape, beat, steal, and kill on a daily basis.
