Cornerstone: My First Speeding Ticket

« on: July 18, 2007, 07:18:23 AM »

Ok... I'm not sure if this should go here or in the Chill Out, but here makes it funnier and besides it really was an event in my life. Wink

On the way to Cstone this year, I was pulled over for... speeding. Never have been (caught) in my life. Here in Atlanta, if you aren't 10-15 OVER the limit, you get run over. It's that dangerous here. So... this being my first time DRIVING myself to Cstone, I was still in my Atlanta mindset when we started going through small towns. It didn't help that I was listening to drum and bass at the time either.

When I looked up (Doug will verify this) and saw the cop in my rear view mirror, I think I was going about 65-70 in a 45. I thought it was like 55 or 65. When I pulled over, I was 30 ft away from the 55 mph sign. Anyway, the cop said I was doing 54 in a 35 about 2 mi back. So... evidently, he chased me for 2 miles. 2 miles? I think not, but whatever, he nailed me and I deserved the ticket.

So today... I decided it was time to pay up. So last night I was about to write a check to be done with it. No luck... had to have a money order. So this morning I got cash and went to get the money order. I got it now problem, but... I realized that no where on the ticket does it say officially who it should be made out to. Um... Um... yeah. Worse... they didn't put a mailing address on it either. Um... here's the third straw... they didn't put a phone number on it.

SOooooo... here I am now surfing the web to find that information. In the spirit of that, here's the town's website: http://www.jerseyville2000.com/

Enjoy.

generally it doesn't matter what kind of music you drive to. As long as it doesn't speed up and slow down (like classical music) it doesn't matter if its 90bpm or 180bpm. So say "Top Gear" who did some tests on it, and the classical driver came out worse. But then again, it does depend on how good the driver is...

Oh yeah... after spending about an hour searching through bad numbers on their site, I finally found a person who gave me the court house number that wasn't even posted on the site. Then I had to get the operator b/c the computer routing system on the phone had nonsensical options. Evidently, "To pay your fine... press 4" was incorrectly labeled as "For the Circuit Clerk... press 4."

Who knew?

After that, I had to deal with the USPS and certified mail! Fun! Fun!

i don't know, if i was listening to drum and bass, i'd probably drive faster, so i could get to where i was going and not have to listen to it anymore Wink

Dang! I've been pulled over by the cops so many times, I should get to call them by their first names! laugh

Not all for speeding. But when I do get pulled over for speeding, I never, ever just get a warning. Even when I've been only 10 mph over.

Two people drift in a lifeboat. One says, "I see an island. Our best chance is to go ashore, build a shelter, and await rescue." The others says, "No, we must go farther out to sea and hope to find the shipping lanes." Unable to agree, the two fight, the lifeboat capsizes, and they drown.

What kind of car do you drive? You know they either think you have tons of money OR they just don't like you.

Let's see.... My brother's 15yo (at the time) Ford Galaxy. A couple of times in my Geo Tracker. Our 3yo Chevy Blazer. My 7yo Escort wagon. Can't see any of those screaming "Stop me! I'm rich!"
