Didn't Take Long
Well, it happened. I got my first speeding ticket in my HHR. lol..Actually my first ticket in about 8 years. Got caught going 50 in a 30. D'OH! Happened on my street. NEEEEEVER cops on my street....except today. I was less than a 1/4 of a block from my home. Comedy Defensive Driving Time! On the bright side, I'll get two free tickets to any standup comedy show at the comedy club.

Ouch that sux. Did they get you with the radar gun? How were you towards the officer? I've talked myself out of a ticket going 95 in a 65 zone. The officer lowered my speed to going 69 in a 65. So it saved me a few hundered.

Yup. They got me on a radar gun. Doggone motorcycle cop. I was nice to the guy. I probably would've been able to talk myself out of the ticket if I wasn't so far over the speed limit.
If you want it off your record...

You Texans seem to have some odd things and laws in your state. At least from a North Easterners perspective.

Gotta love that Texas justice system huh? I've had defensive driving, deferred adjudication and several I've talked my way out of or had the judge dismiss... I've been stopped three times in my HHR so far and no tickets *knocks on wood*....
