I believe in Texas if you are over the limit 20+ you get an additional ticket - "Driving to endanger", our version of "Reckless driving". Other states may flag that. Dude, was the speeding ticket all you got?

Nope, I beat a 77 in a 50 ticket for the city of Westlake. No additional charge, just the amount over, and the fine. I of course plead not guilty, and demanded a jury trial. I got a notice in the mail 10 months later, stating that they dismissed the ticket outright.

I've very much gotten to the point where I will challenge any future invitations by the various collection agency to part with my money. They truly are after only those, who will pay the fine without question. I am 3 for 3 since starting this, two of my own, and one as a "witness" for a friend.

The one for the friend was for a school zone in the town of Roanoke. They have deliberately offset the two directions school zone speed limit warning lights, to turn on and off a few minutes apart. They nail a couple of victims every day. I've witnessed this "malfunction" personally. When I went in to testify on my friends behalf, and told them that I would point this problem out, they couldn't tear up the ticket fast enough. They were real adimate about keeping this problem hush hush as well.

One warning for anyone unfortunate enough to deal with the Roanoke city moffia. Their court IS a kangaroo court, and they are downright bold in their "highly questionable" activiites.

Those chump ass Tarrant County towns are the worst. The one I hate is West Worth Village in west Ft. Worth on 183. They have the lights in front of the Air Base timed to do a snap yellow to red and they are waiting there like vultures. They also seem to specialize in pulling over young kids and poor people, which pisses me off. They'll pull em over for doing a mile or two over the limit, in the hopes of a dope bust - it looks like Baghdad along the road there. Benbrook, in south Ft. Worth is just as bad - they essentially are runnning a 24/7 police checkpoint at the I-20 exit.

PM me for assistance on your case.

Actually, they aren't the worst I've been in. The town of Boyd, in Wise County, is even worse about how they enforce their speed laws. Where the "line of enforcement" is in regards to changes in posted speed limits, depends on how low the coffers are. I was once pulled over for beginning to accelerate to a higher posted limit. I was in plain view of the 45mph sign, and was lit up for speeding in a 35 zone. On that day, I was told that the higher limit didn't begin, untill I passed the sign. I made it a point then, that I disagreed with the assessment, and was let off with a warning. A few months ago, the V1 started squaking an instant on Ka warning against the traffic ahead. Sure enough, the Boyd PD was sitting RIGHT AT the 45 sign, looking to bust anyone who dared to be over that speed prior to crossing their "imaginary line." Being the ******* that I am, I deliberately slowed to 35, in his "45 zone", and pulled at least 30 cars through his trap. Yes, I got the ulitmate in disgusted looks from the revenuer.
