Are speeding tickets too cheap?

In Virginia anything over 80mph is reckless driving even if the speed limit is 70. Bull shit law that I found out about the hard way. 

Is it the same in Arlington or are they not obligated to state law on that one to . My guess is if you live in Arlington County you can roll 99 and be ok

I keep forgetting we live in a society with all these 'suggestion' signs.  Maybe I'll blow through a few stop sign suggestions later this evening.

Also, when did using your f'ng turn signal become an option?

 

Here's another dandy...

Maybe it's just my perspective but I believe people are becoming bigger assholes day by day in the USA.

:usflag:

 

So do you follow every law on the books?

I feel it’s more a age thing whether you get let go or a ticket. When I was younger 16-23ish I was constantly pulled over and givin every ticket you can think of lost my license multiple times. Now that I’m older they just seem to say slow it down have a nice day can’t even remember the last time I actually got a ticket been years.

When one gets older they get smarter. Understand that respect goes a long way.

As I said at the beginning of the thread, I'm no Saint.

What's your opinion of this dipshit in South Dakota?   How about the assholes in Detroit?

I think they are both douchbags. I see them everyday. South Dakota dude was probably playing with his fucking phone. Detroit dude dosnt understand there is a place to speed and a place to slow down. That decision comes from respect.

People who whine about speeders need to get out of the passing lane.  not your job to be the enforcement.   If i want to take the risk of speeding that's on me.  i don't drive excessively over,  10-15mph over is pretty much the norm on highways around here in the fast lane.  5-10 over on local roads.

I’m with @Ez ryder Pandemic driving was absolutely the best!!  NOBODY on the roads.... frequently rolled at 100mph for 10-12 miles at a time without seeing another car on the road in central Sconnie.  

Not only were the roads empty, cops weren't pulling people over because they could get the rona!

I have 2 NYSP stickers in my windshield right next to my registration and inspection. One was given to me by a Major in NYSP Counter Terror Unit & the other by an undercover drug guy. I can pretty much do whatever the fuck I want.  :bc:

I remember those NH State Police stickers. I never got one but several friends did. I know a few that the sticker didn't help, lol.

Min 10 over here is when you get pulled over, unless a s hool zone or ‘downtown.’ We are rural routes so only one or two go thru a town. Downtown can consist of one convenience store. :)

If you are from out of state, well, good luck too you.

I have near 50 warnings (no lie, i should get a world record, no? drives my wife insane - another warning ? You suck !” without a ticket, but i drive a pickup,barely go 10 over (mostly 45’s and 55’s here - hwy is 70)  have in state plates, and live and work locally, which i bring up to a cop in conversation of course.

Your town used to be aweful. MPD would pull you over for 5 over back in the day..... I'm getting old, lol

Yeh, in the vicinity of the school. It’s right on the main st. I never go over speed limit in school areas. You are doomed if you do. If out of state expect to be hung. Lololololol

It was more than the school zone back when I was referring to. They would bag you anywhere in town, or in the 35 when leaving Center Harbor. It was NH plates at the time, but I will also say that the MPD had a hard on for a buddy at the time. Some of the girls they were fucking used to hang out at my friend's party house, lol. Mike used to be a regular there too. That's where we met.

Do we have so much money in this country that the consequences for driving 15mph or more over the posted speed limit doesn't even cross our minds?  

Sigh

Was waiting for an employee to catch up to me today on US 3 . So from I-495 to the NH stateline I drove the speed limit. Every single car and truck passed me.

thats because our speed limits are really 10-15 over what's posted.   going to places where it actually means the speed you are supposed to go is frustrating.   so aren't those going 57 on 95 in the morning who slow down for the guy sitting at the overpass,  SMH.  i just move over a lane and keep going.

Move to the Twin Cities - they just announced they're done with prosecuting cases "arising from low-level traffic stops."

Oregon acknowledges your effort, and says hold my beer.
