Ha! I win, 76 in a 45! And I had started to slow down too when I blew past the cop going the other way. The second I saw him, I pulled over and waited on the side of the road for him. Took him almost a full minute to turn around, park behind me, and then turn on his lights.
That was a $176 ticket. Originally 6 points on the license, but the "DA" agreed to 4 points and a driving class. After class, went back in and sweet talked the judge down to 2 points.
The only thing I could say was that this moving violation wasn't indicative of my typical driving habits.
When he said that it was 36 over, I simply told him that I realize that and I'm not going to waste his time trying to come up with excuses for something that I knew I shouldn't have been doing in the first place.
Best part, my insurance didn't go up!
