FML

I just got a speeding ticket.  Crying  

I haven't gotten a speeding ticket since like '99.  This effing blows.

I was going 84 in a 65.  Indifferent  I should have totally known better too. The stupid cops are always at this particular stretch of highway waiting.  I know that's their hang out, yet, I didnt slow down.  Totally my fault. I'm so pissed at myself right now.  A speeding ticket + traffic school is soo not something I want to be spending money on.  ugggghhhh

H told me that I waited too long to tell the cop I was pregnant.  Dude, it's pretty hard not to notice.  He also told me I should have started crying.  I'm too mad at myself to cry.

I guess this means I really need to get on the ball with selling my Ellen Show crap so I can pay for this mess.  Crying 


Re: FML

  • Bummer!  C is right....you totally should have used the pregnancy and crying to get out of it.  Crying
  • "But officer, I'm driving for two!"

    Lilypie Pregnancy tickers
  • That sucks. What kind of mean cop gives a ticket to a cute pregnant lady?

  • Anyone have an idea of how much the ticket and traffic school is going to be?  I'm not having any luck finding it online.

     

  • Ironic V got one yesterday.

    Mine was 184.50, but it was for passing on the shoulder. They probably the same or pretty close

  • do you still have to do in-person traffic school in OC? 

    sorry, APK.  that sucks :(  did the officer look the type that would be sympathetic to pregnant ladies?  so many them are_assholes when they pull you over.

  • Last I heard you can't do traffic school onlilne in Orange County :( I think the speeding ticket will be a few hundred dollars.
    BabyFruit Ticker
  • my student just told me that he paid $375 for a 20 over the speed limit ticket. Crying
  • That truly sucks, I'm sorry.  I wasn't able to do traffic school online (didn't do it anyway) - I was also told there was no online option.  THat was last year, but my bridesman had a FB status that said he was doing it online, not sure if that was for LA but he lives in OC. 

    =/

  • You can do traffic school, but it is run by the county - you can't do comedy or online, etc. Mine was $210 for the ticket and traffic school. GL!
  • Dipite - really?  I thought traffic school was about $300?  That's what I was told.

    I think the ticket amount depends on how much over the limit you were going.

    This is the case - some cops will write the ticket for a lower speed because of the cost difference.

    But if you get "lucky" the instructor will think he is teach comedy...worst day of my life

  • ITA - I think that's why he wrote it for 19 above instead of 20 - GL APK!
  • Boooo to that. :( I can't believe he didn't atleast write it for a lower speed.
  • Betcha he would have said "if you are pregnant, all the more reason to drive more carefully"  LOL.

    I got a speeding ticket in 99 when I was driving fast to get to HOAG cause my sis got taken by ambulance from school.  I was going to be the first one there cause my parents were coming from work.  So I was driving fast of course.  (I was also cute and skinny and had big boobs in a v-neck and was crying like a crazy lady) when I told him where I was going  and why his response was "well with the way you were driving youre going to end up in a hospital bed next to her.  A$$HOLE.  And I was going 80 in a 55.  Oops.  I swear I was going with the speed of traffic.  LOL
