I pulled out from a yield sign and had to move my 2.7L bad-boy since the traffic was heavy. This cop stops me and writes me a ticket saying I operated a motor vehicle too fast for road conditions in heavy traffic and rain. When I asked him if it was about the yield sign, he said he should write me one for that, for speeding, for changing lanes without signaling in addition (hmm...seems like I was in the right lane the whole time).

hehe It's kinda funny when I think about it because it's nothing personal. But it's outlandish. If I had sped wouldn't he have written a ticket for such? So I lost 2 1/2 hours pay as here we go again $25 fine becomes $94 in the Commonwealth. But 2 1/2 hours is a short time when this piggly wiggly has to spend the rest of his days overweight gettin his stones off chasing after motorists! Drive that Crown Vic yeeeeeeha!

Sucks huh?

I got pulled over because it "looked like I might have been going to fast" and then he said he will give me a warning and wrote me a ticket for my expired inspection sticker (that I had no idea was expired because I swear I just got that thing re-newed a few months ago..)

Are you going to fight it or just let it go. I would fight it just to ask whaat 'proof' he had and why he didn't write me the other tickets if he felt likje he was justified to do so.

well

I'm thinking since my license is still out-of-state that if I pay the $94 I'm over and done with it and there are no insurance consequences (got a ticky 1 year ago and my insurance is still $900). Since this seems to be my 2nd ticket in 1 1/2 years I'm lucky I'm still out of state. But there is something to what you say about fighting it, this violation is the only 2 point one where everything else is 3. I think it's vague where the donut guy is being subjective.

I'd do it if it were a matter of insurance, but for me to take off work it's like going to Atlantic City. If I lose I've doubled the fine, if I win I'm still out at least $70-$100 dollars for time off. If I pay I'm out $94.
