You were lucky

I got a speeding ticket Saturday - 71+ in a 55. First ticket in years and 10-to-1 the Highway patrolman is a no show at court. He passed the above website address to me with the ticket after he asked me what SRT stood for.

He was going to also include my illegal tint job on the ticked but I told him I had already been "nailed" for that one. He came unglued - "did you say NAILED - What does "NAILED" mean?"

I started laughing hard and could tell by his accent he was no California boy. I asked him where he was from and how long he had been on the force; Ohio with less then 2 years on the force. I showed him my $10 fix-it ticket for the tint and plates (still waiting for my personalized plates from the DMV) and let him know that he can't "NAIL" me again until the due date.

I was nice - showed him my car and hoped I would be is only "Show" at court and he will decide to stay home. IF not - on-line traffic school.
