FireMedicJumper 0 #1 August 11, 2007 A fucking speeding ticket on the way home from work. State Trooper wrote me for going a whole 10 mph over! I was so pissed at him and I guess myself too. I wanted to ask him "How many jumps is this gonna cost me?" Ticket was $157!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FireMedicJumper 0 #3 August 11, 2007 Yeah it sux. He didn't seem to care that I was in uniform either, not that I think that should get me a pass but it would have been nice. What really pissed me off was all the other people who had blown past me doing close to 90. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beerlight 0 #15 August 11, 2007 He gave you a ticket, on your birthday, while in uniform?! That does suck. I thought most cops took it easy on the medical personnel?? Had a cop stop me for speeding, he looked at my liscense, and said he knew my sister who is a nurse! He let me go.. now dats cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FireMedicJumper 0 #16 August 11, 2007 Yeah most of the city cops have basically said they wont write us firemen unless we leave them no choice. But if you're drunk, arguing, reckless, etc., them the gloves are off. It seems the state troopers on the other hand don't give a damn about anybody except maybe other cops. Having said all that, I don't think anybody should get special priviledges or get tickets fixed because of who they are, but it happens all of the time for those who are related to the right people or know the right people, have the right job or connections, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaH 0 #17 August 11, 2007 I got my very first speeding ticket on my way to work on Thursday. It's $300. I'm going to request the jail time or community service. I can't afford to pay that. At least traffic school is online now. Edited to add: Happy belated birthday. Be yourself! MooOOooOoo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viking 0 #19 August 11, 2007 Dude everyone knows Alabama state troopers are dumb rednecks. Even the Mississippi Troopers are saying it!!I would have thought you being a fireman, in uniform, on your birthday, and i would hope not being an ass about it would have gotten you atleast a reduction to like a seatbelt violation. I hear about this shit all the time here is Cali from the EMS and the cops that roll through the ER i work at. "Oh ya Mike i pulled over Pete's doughter the other night he owes me a case of beer for the warning" Shit like that. But on the other hand you were speeding (the same amount i do every day actually) but the guy could have a little bit of a team player if you weren't creating an unsafe condition IE weaving in and out of traffic so you could maintain your 10 over. Anyway happy bday and thanks for doing what your doing. :) I swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver My God has a bigger dick than your god -George Carlin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry you got the ticket man, it was totally uncalled for No I dont say it like that I say it like this: If you are driving ANYWHERE, and dont want a Ticket for speeding DONT SPEED. (i.e. DO NOT travel above the speed limit anywhere). Now most places have a few mph/kph leeway due to calibration error, not on their equipment but on your speedo. 10mph over the speed limit will will almost ALWAYS get you written up 10mph is 16kph, that's the SECOND tier for fines here, Under 15kph it $100 over 15 under 20 is $200, over 40kph and you are going to Gaol (jail)You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!
