I just got a ticket for speeding in a school zone for a ridiculous $444 dollars, is that fair or too exclusive? (Page 2)

You made two mistakes:
1. You sped in a school zone.
2. You asked for a warning which is basically an admission of guilt. Good luck fighting that in court.
This is one of the reasons I don't drive. I have a pathological distrust of police.
I’m as loose as anyone with speed limits on the highway, but in school or work zones I have no sympathy. Sounds more than fair to me
Consider yourself lucky, you got nailed going that fast in a school zone here you’d lose your license
Pay it and write it off as a lesson. If you were 5 over I can sympathize, but you were doing at least double the speed limit in a school zone. Even you can’t be that stupid to think you aren’t in the wrong here
And how much is a lawyer gonna cost? Hell of a lot more than the ticket I guarantee
Lawyers here in Miami, charge a fee and they will do the paperwork where you don't have to pay the ticket. I'm going next week.
What exactly is your defence on this? You were doing double the speed limit in a school zone. You’re 35, grow the fuck up, pay it, and maybe learn something
I don't have to pay it, why should I give $444 when I can give a small fee to a ticket office and be OK.
Because you deserve it
Only a fool and sucka will pay such amount.
It’s $400, how broke are you?
I can pay it, I just don't think I should. It's too excessive. Feel free to give your money away.
No, $400 for going double the limit in a school zone is more than generous. You’d lose your license instantly doing that here
Much cheaper than if you hit a child or someone's car picking up their kid. Without laws to prevent accidents, we can just run you over and ram your house without even getting a warning.
Don't know what republican has to do with it... But then as a kid I also used to say new words I didn't know the meaning of.
Will you think twice before going that fast in a school zone again?
In my state I got a ticket for something I did not do. I disputed it in court and got it dismissed. If the cop had you on radar there is probably not much you can do but you can try.
Laws are laws , better than hitting a kid and cleaning the kid's brain off your bumper. Obey the law and you don't get tickets. I have never gotten a speeding ticket. I stop at signs.
Did you ask him if he voted for Trump? Amazing that Trump gets blamed when some is caught speeding
If I had my way I would ban from driving... Period.
Personally I'd shoot you for endangering my kid's life. First offence would only cost you your knees.
womp womp. If it was my kid you hit, you'd be paying more than $400.
School zones usually have double the fees. It is steep in Texas. They have speed traps everywhere around me
Just be glad that you are still walking around and not in jail with your license shredded.
You got off pretty easy, IMHO. School zone fines are excessively high for a reason, safety. Some places would consider 20+ over as reckless endangerment.
School zone speed limits are usually 25. You were going double that. Seems pretty fair to me. Instead of insulting the judge, maybe you should man up and admit you were in the wrong?
It's 15 in this area.
Yeah, that’s speedy in a school zone where 20 is usually the limit. Especially if school was in session.
But courts will be merciful and work with you on $ if that’s the issue.
bruh i hate children too but you can't just rum them over,
Do you have children? I have a daughter and speeding in a school zone is horrible. Kids died at my daughters high school, crossing the street.
“He looked like a Republican/Conservative”. You just had to throw that in there because only you are allowed to judge.
Once you go to court you may be able to plead to a lesser charge and avoid points. But it most likely would cost more
speeding in a school zone is pretty nuts. first ticket?
First ticket ever I got.
well based on the laws in most areas he still went really easy on you, they cuda taken your car away for speeding in a school zone
