Try living in my town, the regular speed limit is 20mph, except in front of the elementry school (during start and end times) it's 25mph, and yes everyone under the age of 50 speeds in this town including the chief of police.

Either way on subject Tweek said it best there isn't much you can do at this time and in Florida the law says the cop doesn't have to show their radar (just like you can refuse to let them search your car, only you can't hide behind a warrant, usually the same rules apply if they deny they lie), be careful next time and being in Florida get a radar detector before any other mod cops will pull you for the fun of it there.

Your best plea is the i'm young and i'm dumb, since both tickets are close together you don't have to worry about them checking your record it'll be a month before the first actually makes it to the DMV to become official.

You have to ignore shid sometimes, he can get a little excited, but he's right about the seat belt, regardless if your doing 35 or 85 you can die just the same (i've wrecked one time doing a hundred and came out with a seat belt rash, but the same type of car I drove was doing half my speed, wrecked, and the driver and passenger died) but they do save more lives than they cost.

shid, i'll use paragraphs whenever i want. you're being a smartass right now. so im guessing you tell everyone of your friends that "talk lyk dis" to correct their spelling/grammar. i dont use spell check when posting here nor do i worry about my paragraphs because people understand it just fine. nobody's had a problem with my 1 paragraph. and i was getting off the florida turnpike(highway). that exit is in butt-**** egypt so no kids were gonna pop out or anything. i understand what you're saying. it's not like im hauling ass on the emergency lane on a highway going around a bend not knowing if there's a stranded car around the bend. so know your role and shut your mouth. >> take care kid, don't hurt yourself.

joker, you just dont get it, do you?
STOP THE BICKERING.

Do I know you? You joined 5 months ago, and I've rarely posted since then, so no. Your "friendly jab" is neither friendly nor warrented, please kindly cease.



As someone who has already made mistakes in the past, done stupid things, and learned their lessons, it is the role of an elder in any society to try and educate the youths who do stupid things and are in the process of those mistakes so they won't make as bad ones.

You're not going to stop speeding until you get more tickets and have to pay the financial cost of speeding.

But maybe, just maybe, you'll wear your seatbelt if we all get on your case about it.

And when you DO get into an accident (because you are neither a safe driver, nor an expierenced one until you have gotten into an accident situation) hopefully you will be wearing your seatbelt, and we won't have to read about you shattering your windshield with your skull.

Your situation is akin to juggling a loaded gun, being caught, and then trying to get out of it. It's not smart to juggle a loaded gun, as it could hurt you or others. Maybe you shouldn't have had the gun loaded to begin with, maybe you shouldn't be juggling the gun at all, even if you're a 85 year old WWII, Korea and Vietnam vet that has held a gun since they were 6.
