I got ticketed for doing 54.2 in a 35 zone. It was about 10:20 PM. I've had my license for alittle over a year, never been in any kind of trouble with the law or got pulled over for anything else. The fine is for $152, think they'll take my license or suspend them or anything?

I took my driving school online at trafficschooltogo.com. Paid the fine and the ticket never went on my record cause I did the traffic school. Took me about 45 minutes to do it online. Skipped through all of the reading material, just took the quizzes. Multiple choice out of 4 and there is always one obvious answer. So, breezed through quizzes and final exam in no time and had it done with.

I just found out who the Judge was going to be, then called him and he tore my ticket up since it was my first offense

Dahm Cops! :D I wrote one two years ago doing 175 mph in a 65 mph on a Suzuki Busa.

um he went to jail that night, $ 1,950.00 in fines and court costs and the book thrown at him. The judge was a little harsh even after I dropped some charges.

My first was a 60 in a 45, not bad, ticket no points
My second was a 95 in a 55 running late on the way to school

My first ticket was failure to yield at a stop sign. The thing about it was that the cop thought I ran a stop sign about 3 miles back. It was dark, this car was on my ***** hardcore, I couldn't see his headlights in my rearview. I came up to the stop sign, slowly rolled through it, cop pulled me over, $119. All tickets in Kansas tripled 2 years ago!!!!!
