first speeding ticket in 10 years

[Russell]

I got pulled over for doing 12 over in a 35 mph speed zone tonight. HE LET ME GO! After checking my papers and my wifes license as a passenger? he told me that the ticket would have been 120 bucks and 3 points on the license. I was relieved.

I have had that happen as well . I guess he was offended that I was doing 80 and overtaking him going 55. I think in KY, going to traffic school wipes the offense from points and insurance company problems.

BTW regal killed my original post. I got nailed going 80 in a 55 zone on an almost vacant and almost straight 2 lane rural road. 26 over and my license could have been revoked.

Cops around here don't give a crap about that. They earn around $80K+ over here.

I just got back from Tenerife. Its about 26 degree there and only 9 here. I could manage with USD 80K a year. And I need another holiday. I have a full English driving licence (even for trucks!). I can say 'have a nice day' in a genuine English accent after I issued a ticket. Of course anybody who could say they (or a relative or friend) was on this board would be exempt. Think I could get a job?

were you "driving to compensate commerce"? if not you were just traveling which makes you exempt of all the state issued "traffic infractions" sure it will piss the cop and judge off but it is legal. "traveling" is exempt, "commerce" is dependent on the state made rules. Don't even need a license to "travel bro".

WHAT? Yeeah, you can try one out yourself.

This sounds like Jeff to me....Here's the thing to do. Take it to court, and see if the flag is fringed. If it is, bust out the tried and trueRusty Shackleford/Dale Gribble defense....

"I do not recognize the authority of a court that hangs the gold fringe flag. A flag with gilded edges is the flag of an Admirality Court. An Admirality Court signifies a naval court martial. I cannot be court martialed twice."

Some of the dialog on that show was pure genius.
