First of all, I am not trying to beat the system. I just want to see if there is a way to get rid of that point. As I said, I don't mind paying the fine. I broke the law and that's that.

I think everybody is entitled to make one mistake, to be precisely, one in 20 years. Just because I drive a sport car that does not mean I am a habitual speeder.

I could have told him I work in the Law Enforcements, Fire and EMS industry but I did not. My Infiniti did not have the license frame that says my "Work Number is 911". It is on the other car. The policeman was a young Hispanic and was rather rude when first approaching my car. He banged my window with his flash light which I did not appreciate. Then he attempted to lure me into an argument, which I just sat there with both hands on the steering and answered every question followed with a "sir" or "office". He was extremely condescending at first, until he found out I have no speeding ticket before, and that I am alot older than he thought. He toned down and was very polite after that. It is because I work with Law Enforcement folks everyday and understand how stressful it is to standing out in the dark highway. I tried to make him feel as comfortable as I could. I even smile a couple of times. When he asked me to sign the ticket, I told him kindly my eye sight is not as good as his, and asked him if he minded shining his flash light on the ticket for me. I did not want to reach in the car to turn on the interior light in case he thought I was reaching for whatever and raise his stress level.
