Default Re: No more street racing for me.

Every ticket I have gotten was in a county or state that depended heavily on the revenue from them and are well known for speed traps. This over time has given traffic cops a bad name in my opinion. I bet if they did not profit from speeding tickets the number of ones given out would drop in 1/2. Never get a courtesy notice no matter how nice I am . The last ticket I got was in one of those county's even my lawyer agreed with me that it was such a small county the only revenue they get is from the small stretch of highway they cover so the judge was going to take me for a loop. I did not get any points taken away from my licence but it cost me $3000 for 2 tickets. But anyway I ramble :P

If they tell you otherwise they are full of crap. I am a strong believer in courtesy notices unless the driver has no DL or numerous suspensions on their DL. Those are the drivers that are a true burden on the system. IMO
