SPEEDING TICKET! How to fight this scenario...

[sqcomp]

Here's a tip...

Use your cruise control and don't speed.

I'm a material expert for the flippin' obvious. For people recieving 37 violations in the last three years...man, you're good. I don't even try to be that much of a living violation in my dreams.

Perhaps I'm a little cranky from my last convoy mission. Having to negotiate traffic going the wrong way in my lane several times. These friggin Iraqi drivers are completely nuts. They assume they'll win in a sedan versus a Caiman MRAP. WRONG idea.

It is this man's opinion that if you peeps spent even half the time you use figuring out how to get out of the ticket on driving correctly, you'll never get a ticket again.

Man up and pay the ticket, you said that you were clocked at 88kmph so even if you were in the 80 limit you were still speeding. Also nice post sqcomp

People make mistakes... That was the first ticket I've gotten in 13 years. Sun was in my eyes and I was just cruising behind a minivan. Sure, I was guilty of something, but I learned my lesson. I've been a lot more cautious of my speed. As for the cruise control, you really can't use it every minute you drive (heck, I don't even have it in my Yaris...yet).

As for driving in other countries, I've driven in China, Japan, Korea and been in traffic in Malaysia and Vietnam (among others, but these are the worst I've been through). From my experiences, comparing them to the middle east, they are about the same. The drivers there are not crazy, but they are very alert. If you're driving and see someone coming at you, you move out of the way. They don't tend to have the "this is my lane mentality". This of course works for them because everyone buys into it. A person couldn't drive that way in the US (well, many times they do and get into accidents).
