65 in 60 = Speeding Ticket??

your more of a dick than a cop who gives a ticket for 1mph over. go throw yourself into traffic. police officers swear an oath to protect citizens, even if it means risking their lives for a douche like you.

thats a little harsh.. i get what your saying though. im not a big fan of cops. most of them are douches on a power trip. and if they really respected that oath, i think they would spend more time fighting "real" crime instead of pulling people over for 5+ mph. im not saying all cops are like that.... but the cop that pulled over the OP was lol.

fuck cops in general, straight up they were just kids who didn't do anything creative with their lives so now they try n fuck with what other ppl got going. I have no remorse for a cop who is hurt or KIA.

Shit Illinois speeding laws are balls retarded. Stupid expensive too. Fuck Norridge, park ridge, Niles, and Lombard cops

Better than a semi literate child. Pretty hit or miss with Jersey E30 owners it seems.

lol sounds like i struck a nerve. sorry big guy

It's up to the cops judgement. NO, THERE IS NO LEEWAY! They can ticket you for going 1 over if they feel like it.

My uncle has a framed ticket of a 1mph over the limit. First time he went out of state he got it. It was dismissed.

OP, you were speeding. Unfortunately that cop decided to not be nice and give you a warning. Be happy it was only that much. Around here anywhere from 0-20mph over is an automatic $130 fine, so if you're going to speed make it worth it, ha.

I don't really think it's the $90 that's the problem. It's a hassle, an undeserved increase in insurance cost, and a point on your license. Yes, California is a million times worse in this regard, but I've never heard of anyone getting ticketed for 5+ on I-5.

I was on I-5 going to San Diego two weeks ago and I was steady going 75-80mph the entire time. I shit you not, I was getting passed and flipped off by school buses, regular buses, grandmothers with disability placards, and literally 50 minivans. As someone said, if you aren't going 80mph you're just in the way.

And yea, there's been a lot of vagina on r3v lately.

Municipalities are hurting just like veryone else in this nation. Speeding tickets are huge revenue generators and we should all take notice to how little it will take to actually get a ticket. I got 2 in 2 weeks and decided it was time to slow down. GO TO COURT! i got out of both of mine just by going to court and talking with the judge. Insurance going up is more of kick in the ass than the speeding tickets. However, 5 over I'm sure won't affect your insurance.

BTW I had to fire someone last week at my job for getting a ticket 25 over the speed limit. It would suck to not get a job because of a driving record or get fired because of it. Protect your ability to make money!

I'm about to have to pay $360 ( if i cant work out a deal) for speeding in a school zone (3 over normally posted limit). Get over the 93 bucks. Cop is a dousche, but the law is the law.

I was 1 over the normally posted limit. 36 in a 25 lol. I was just pacing the line in front of me, too bad I was the last in line, so the motorcycle cop turned onto the street and behind me from the bushes he was hiding in. $220 later I got 3 points on my DL yay.

Shoot I'd be happy... A ticket like that here in CA is almost 5 times that

[slammin.e28]

But if I was to get a ticket for going 0-5mph over I would be like really? Wtf. I would just feel like is shit that serious.

You wouldn't get a ticket for going 0 over....

;):p

[agile30]

I would be aggrivated that I got a ticket if let's say I was going 10-15mph over. BUT I would accept I was speeding as I obviously know what the fuck I was doing.

But if I was to get a ticket for going 0-5mph over I would be like really? Wtf. I would just feel like is shit that serious.

But in the end get shit over with and stop bitching

[nebulous123]

You guys are saying the OP broke the law doing 60 in a 65. A ticket for 65 in a 60?

I don't think anyone is saying that....driving under the speed limit, COULD be potentially dangerous, if everyone was driving in great excess of the speed limit. And that person would deserve a ticket as well.

If "going with the flow of traffic" was the argument, he would have been really unlucky. We could argue for hours about what constitutes a "flow of traffic" i.e. how many cars needed? how many lanes? time of day? weather?

All that comes back to the cop. i wouldn't say he isn't being a dick for getting you for such a low over the limit, however you shouldn't argue that 65</=60. thats just ignorant.

If you got a Cali speeding ticket you'd be in maybe 250-350, and over 500 for a basic speed law ticket. so $90 is like a fix-it ticket for us.

for real. and cali cops are the worst. they hit you with a fine and give you shit for it and then tell you to have a nice day. a-holes
