Yeah..I'm paranoid myself. Car is Victory RED too. These cars can get to speed VERY quicky (as you're fully aware). I'll do spurts to 90-100 on FWY, but I'm always looking for CHP out here. It's actually easier to get ticketed for micky mouse stuff on the streets rather than on the FWY. With my last ticket (another car), there was a CHP cop parked off the side just past a fwy off ramp waiting to catch people who didn't make a FULL stop at the end of the ramp before turning right. The A hole was parked out of sight to the right on the street. He used his rear view mirror to catch cars who failed to make a complete stop before turning right..just stuck out his arm and waived myself and another car over.

I'm 22, and have been driving since the day I turned 16. The only ticket I have ever received was one in the mail for passing the bus when the red lights were flashing, and that was an accident.

Well good luck, just think up the best, most believable story you can... And worst comes to worst, message me and I'll tell you an almost surefire way for it not to ever get to your insurance company.

^_- You're lucky you went that long haha. I think I went about 2 months with mine before I got my first speeding ticket (ever). 86 in a 55. About a week later I got my second, 57 in a 35.
Both times I was running late

4 years ago i had 10 points on my license (i fought all of them, it was actually upwards of 30 points) and my insurance dropped me. needless to say im still paying for it all this time.
in ny state if you get more then 6 points you have to pay 75 dollars for every point you have. thus i was paying almost 1000 dollars ot keep my license.
my insurance went from 160 a month to 370 a month. it doesnt pay to play. but ive been clean for 4 years!

Lawyer is handling it. They got me out of my last ticket. No points or fees. Waiting to see what happens with this one. Theyve postponed the hearing for like three months now. lol

That's what the lawyers do: they keep rescheduling until the officer can't show up to court, then the ticket gets dismissed.
