26mph over speeding ticket

Isn't the fine usually on the ticket itself? Maybe it's a state thing.

It must be a state thing because Louisiana has never posted fine amounts on the back of tickets. When you're told to sign the ticket(s) as they're being issued you're given this speech about "Your signature does not constitute admission of guilt only verification that you have been issued this summons and advised of the set court date," or something to that effect.
You're given a choice of either simply paying the fine before the court date, going to court to fight it, or going to court to request an extension of the 'Pay By' date.

In Louisiana it's weird ~ depending on how much authority the cop that issues you the ticket has can make a difference in how much it costs. Ergo: A deputy sheriff's ticket would cost more than a city cop and a state trooper's ticket would run more than the deputy sheriff's (even for the exact same offense)

*knock on wood* I've been very fortunate - haven't had any sort of moving violation in years. Been stopped a time or three for my too-dark window tint but I've been lucky and got let go with a warning each time.

I'm going to wait to tell my parents about it after I call next week and see what I can do. If I can just enroll in a traffic class, pay the fine, and not have my insurance rates increase, that's what I'll do. I'll wait until I'm downtown (away from home) to call and tell them about the ticket.

Speeding tickets ****. Why do they make cars that can acheive almost double any speed limit if they dont want us to speed. The automotive indusrty is a trap i say.

I looked down as soon as I saw the cop, and I was doing about 90. I got over into the right lane know that he would be after me, and sure enough, about 20 seconds later he was right there, LIGHTS FLASHING

Generally, you just pay the fine. You were obviously guilty, so there is no point in fighting it. Just go to traffic school and have it wiped from your record. Just be sure to not get another ticket for 18 months after you have completed traffic school or that one will stay on your record.

I know. I could see the exit I wanted to get off on, but there were 3 semi's blocking the 3 lanes, so I knew i was screwed.

Heh a few years back I was going 70 down a 40 road. Needless to say I looked and saw a cop car going the opposite way. Sure enough I looked in my rear view and saw him start to turn around and turn his lighs on. Good thing I knew the area, so I busted some turns, parked in the Subway parking lot, and got me some food //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

i was in my dads car once and a friend was following me. we were both doing like 75 in a 65 and i was in my dads porsche. the cop pulled between us, i just held my speed and watched him in my mirror. i knew he was checking his computer, no plates on the car, i was lucky of that. anyway, he put his head down and i punched it. my friend said that by the time he turned his lights on and looked up that all you could see were two tail lights off in the distance, the cop didnt even try to go after me. got off a few exits later. never saw the cop again.
