No problem re: information.
However, I suppose you can gather what I do for a living...
MR2NR:
I applaud your cander and opinion Rob. It's refreshing actually.

OK, you guys can argue all you want, as far as disputing the ticket, in court it comes down to one question whose answer MUST be either a resounding "Yes" or "No" . and the question is, Were you driving over the posted speed limit ?

Hey Defro, all I hear from you is "fight, fight, fight, fight" and "fight the machine." Are you living in the same world as the rest of us. I'm going to have to side with MR2NR. If you speed and drive like a ^#^%@ idiot then you deserve a ticket. How many times has someone lost a life or became seriously injured or disabled just because people are driving like they are the only one on the road?
I've had one ticket for speeding given to me and I totally deserved it. I think, for the most part, cops do not target individuals to give them tickets (the people that believe they are being targetted are probably consistently driving like idiots and deserve to be targetted), they pull people over because they see them driving unsafely. Think of it for a second: if someone cuts you off and takes off like a maniac would you not wish a cop would pull them over and give them a ticket? (honestly)
p.s.>the world is not against you so what "machine" are you referring too? It seems like you are taking that from something you read or someone you know. Original material is so much better.

I know a few people on this thread have suffered significant losses in their lives from the results of reckless driving. These people are justified in being upset...
Then there are those that refuse to take responsability for their own actions.
I am probably one of the few people on this forum that has seen over 250 in a car on public roads. Take it from me, it's stupid to speed. For those that I have left worrying at home everytime I "went for a drive", I am truly sorry.
I've had plenty of close calls, plenty of wreckless events, and plenty of people wishing a cop was there to take my plate down. I don't think there is anything more "real" then when you lose somebody close to you in an accident.
I have heard so many people blame their car for accidents that it makes me sick. Heck...I've even been one of them. People cause accidents with reckless actions, cars are just there following your directions.
I would say the single greatest cause of accidents is people not driving for the conditions. Sometimes the speed limit is way too fast.
Take responsability.

Seems that no amount of tickets or points has caused the problem to hit home yet. A suspension and loss of your freedom or job that comes with it might be in your best interest, and I know what I am talking about there...

No harm done, we can **** off each other as much as we want but in the end it is a difference of opinion that is all. [/QB]
Clubconcepts, going over the speedlimit even 1-5 mph is breaking the law! And yes people have been ticketed for doing so, but the law is the law and everyone must abide by it.
The only word that can describe your driving record is irresponsibility. You are 25 years old and it's probably a good time you start being accountable for your actions instead of spending all of your time trying to find ways out of punishment you deserve.

ranger33, you obviosly missed the intended humour in my reply, club and i know each other well and was just ribbing him. now, its our right to dispute every ticket we get, if it can save you a bunch of $$$ money then why wouldnt you. after the ticket has been given the lesson has hopefully been learned, and at that point the only reason to fight it is to save $$, or your license. i obviously dont condone streeet racing or anything of that sort, there are far too many racetracks out there for people to be racing on public streets. my problem lies with the cop that sits at the bottom of a hill on the coquihalla hwy and gives you a ticket for going 8kph over the speed limit, i question the reliabilty and accuracy of radar guns. there is no question that many police officers are corrupt, read the news, and with a group of people, all law enforcement people, that stick together like they do, lie in court, fabricate eveidence etc to protect each other, its a good thing that we as regular citizens have the right to provide our own defense in front of a group of our peers or a judge. i dont speed, havent had a ticket in years, so im not bitter beacuse i was fined, im just staing a point that the right is there, so dont get upset because someone asks a question about excersizing it, oh and fight the machine is an old saying, the machine is a metaphor for government, anyone that tries to opress anyone or group because they dont like there opinion, kinda like the mods here they are the machine, just kiddin fat whacker and the rest of the machine or..... i mean mods, hahaha, so as not to offend any more on this post i will from now on no longer say fight, fight, fight, i will say dispute,dispute, dispute, better ranger [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Okay... all of us who have not violated the speed limit raise your hand... 
Speeding is wrong, dangerous and harms more than the driver -- if you need proof, watch the news.
In someways this post reminds me of George Bush a man who is an admitted ex-coke user who warps himself is his born again christianity and has little patience with "criminals". I wonder what would have happened to him if police found him with coke in his car and he was black?
Likewise, if the police were able to catch everyone for every violation I doubt that many of us would still be on the road.
Yes, I am older, wiser and more experianced now than I was in my 20's and as a parent I would like to see safer roads and highways when my eldest daugther takes to the roads next year; however, I feel that while his speeding is wrong, preaching to Shawn is a little like "the pot calling the kettle black".
