The Goat Pen

It's my daily driver, but not the only one I drive.

So you put well over 20K on that one plus you also drive another car(s)? How many miles do you drive per year? Over 20 is already high, sounds like you're closer to 30K per year. The average is 12K (or so Ive heard). What the hell are you doing, man? Running moonshine?

I drive about 25 a year. Not a big deal.

I live 34 miles (one way) to where I work. I drive to ATL, the beach, NOLA, Nashville, or the GSMNP fairly regularly. Hell, sometimes, I just get out and drive. Itadds up

I drive about 30K miles a year.

I drive 61 miles each way for work. That shit adds up.

Congrats on getting your little scooter past max speed.

LOL well played.

guy I know just got a 497 dollar ticket for running a red light--caught by video in southern California while visiting there from Kansas city

497 dollars

if your not going back to california would you pay it?

Nope. I still have a few outstanding in Florida from the late 80s & early 90s. Been back once since.

Now, you better pay it. The systems are all interlinked now. If they suspend your license there, it will be suspended in your state due to the interstate compact and linking of systems.

he paid it

seemed awfully steep

literally big brother is watching toll roads, intersections and able to find you and hound you until you pay up.

sooner or later speed traps alpong isolated strectches will be manned by cameras hoping you fill there coiffers

I've thought about rigging explosives on the speed trap boxes they have all over Maryland now. Getting a ticket in the mail weeks after leaving a place is a motherfucker. The thing about Maryland, though, is that the tickets are only about $40. They make it not worth trying to fight the thing. For $500, I would waste court time in a fight just to get my pound of flesh from the system. Then I would put a quarter stick of dynamite on every one of those radar boxes as I could find...or at least that is what I tell myself I would do.

I would actually get an attorney to get it reduced, but paying is preferable to a suspension.

Typical lawyer

The attorney would cost more than just paying the fine unless you came up with a "I'll pay you a portion of what you save me" deal.

Exactly

What about the increase in insurance? Did you factor that into the equation?
