slothrop Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Americans will never have stringent driver licensing requirements. It infringes too much on every man and woman's God-given right to drive like a moron. Keep the guvmint out of my truck cab, gawdammit! I got a $200+ speeding ticket in NC once (14 over in a work zone) and a week or so later, now living in Seattle, got a big envelope in the mail. It was a bunch of advertisements from local ambulance chasers offering to get my fine reduced. I paid one, who pled the charge down to "faulty equipment". No stain on my driving record, no increase in insurance premium. I don't feel too bad about it because my speedometer was indeed faulty... I thought I was going slower than what I was clocked at.

Harry_Pi Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Hello capitalist! Yes I have been written up in Oregon a few times many years ago. Back then, on the reverse side of the citation was a box you could check to plead guilty with an explanation. Just send the court a polite letter with a check and just maybe the fine will be reduced. I tried it once and it worked. Thank you for allow me to continue posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWolfe Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I got pulled over and almost got a ticket in my 1971 VW Van for going too slow on the freeway on the way to the OCF a number of years back. Just before we ran out of gas cuz we forgot about refueling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
