Ugh!
I just got a speeding ticket. I haven't gotten a ticket in YEARS, like since I lived in Alabama and was still a teenager - a LONG time. Ugh.
What's even more annoying is that, when I asked the cop whether the speed limit (which is ridiculously low) is posted anywhere, he responded and said that since it was a residential area, it didn't have to be. Ummm, does the state of New Jersey really expect me to know, offhand: a) what the speed limit in residential areas is, and b) what areas exactly are zoned as residential? Crazy.
At least the cop did me a "favor" and wrote down a lower speed than he actually got me on radar going. Saved me three whole points (which I've never understood anyway, since they don't have them down South, and I haven't gotten a ticket since I lived there).
Ugh.

Well, you live in NJ, so you can't try to do what I did to not pay my $260 Palisades ticket... :P
(btw, the word verification is goons. How ironic!)
Ezzie -
What did you do to not pay it?
So sorry 'bout that. I hate speeding tickets :(
Honestly? Nothing. I completely forgot about it, and I never heard another thing about it. It doesn't really make sense; then again, neither did the ticket in the first place.
It was weird that the court date on the ticket was set 5 months in the future; that passed a few months ago (and I tried calling a couple times) and nothing ever happened.
Oh - technically you can take advantage of the cop's being nice; the number he wrote down is NOT what he recorded. But I don't recommend it.
