Mass Speeding Ticket

[boot man]

Wait, now I'm lost. Who's the biggest problem here?
1. The #$%^&*@ state cop
2. The insurance company
3. The entire shrinking stae of Massachusetts
4. The father who forgot to have the car inspected and thinks his daughter is okay driving 75-80 in a 65.
5. The 18 year old college freshman with her own car who ran late and then drove 19 MPH over the speed limit
6. The sanctimonious SOB's who think people should actually pay for their legal discretions.

I'd be pi$$ed, too, but at myself and the kid

19 over is on the fast side. I think 20 over is considered reckless driving. Then watch the $$$$ add up.

I don't see the above posts as being sanctimonious. You asked for advice and you got it. Tell her to slow down. What is 10 minutes late ? Not really a big deal in the big picture.

They may reduce the fee or she may get "lucky" and beat it. (don't count on it) Whatever the outcome lets hope she learns from this.

Right Mac.. I'm willing to bet he did give her a break for writing her up for only 19 over...

4 years later and my parents just finished paying for my brother's car after he killed himself speeding. He was only 17. Thank God everyday it'll only be a couple grand when you're done.

I am very sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing, I am speechless. You are right.

What a terrible thing to have to do, paying the monthly payment on a car that your brother died driving. My sincerest condolences to your entire family having to relieve that crash every month at bill paying time. Thats awful.
