That's funny, because most cases that I hear of the speedo reads about 3 mph faster than you're really going....

 

That's right! I bet they had nothing better to do than write a ticket!
or trying to make someones day.

 

holy crap dude, suck it up. no sympathy here. you were doing 78mph in a 43mph zone...

 

Holy crap is right! Why the hell would you even need to go that fast? I'm not trying to start a flame war, but jeez....

 

Yeah that's excessive, i'm a speeding sob and i'll barely do 80 in a 65...

pay your ticket and quit bitching

 

i was boxed in by a semi next to a concrete wall going around a turn under an overpass (highway), i decided the safer thing i could do is remove myself from danger and get out of his blind spot so i would'nt get crushed, cop was on the next overpass point the laser gun at me, he knew what i was doing...

I did'nt get a ticket.. i'm going to court...here in canada(alberta) if your going 50 over the speed limit, you go to court and the judge decides what to give you, fines from $650-$2200 and up to 6 month suspension. this is my first ticket ever, so if i could throw my speedo off, i can knock the fine down to a 40 over, which is a $350, no suspension.

 

ouch

 

Might I suggest not posting about this until after the fact? I mean, seriously, how naive will you feel if you walk into the courtroom and show you you're ip and these posts?

 

dude, pay your ticket and stop speeding so much..... oh, and my speedo reads about 3 mph slower than what i'm actually doing..weird

 

Even if it was off (which most are to an extent) you were still doing nearly twice the limit, I don't think 2-3mph off either way is going to help you much. Good luck though

 

Oh yeah and be prepared for a day or ten in the clink!

 

I think (judging by the original posting date) that this person has already paid the ticket, got off on some technicality, or is currently serving time in jail.

OWNED...by an old thread. LOL! []

So why didn't you just slow down instead? I hate when people try to justify speeding because there was a big semi truck or whatever in the way and you were scared. If you were that worried about safety you would have slowed down instead of speeding up. I think everyone else can agree with me on that one.......

 

Sucks that you're a fellow Albertan, because I can't believe what I am reading. First, the cops DO read these forums.
Second, what you are attempting to do with a larger set of rims is tantamount to FRAUD.
Third, you got busted-pony up and pay the fine. Don't tell me you couldn't have slowed down and pulled in behind the truck; passing him wasn't your only option.
Fourth, the Crown doesn't reduce tickets any more (AKA plea bargain).
Sorry to come down on you, but like Beretta sez, "don't do the crime if you can't do the time".
Edit-just noticed the age of the original post-any updates on the outcome?
