TicketKick to the Rescue

I have been driving for the past 18 years and in those 18 years I have only had 2 tickets. One a seat belt ticket on my 22nd birthday and the other a speeding ticket. The speeding ticket was not long ago, and I swear the officer was telling some fibs! Let me explain the situation.

My husband and I had just came back from Memphis. There happens to be a speed trap and I am aware of this trap. When I drive I usually go about 5 over. I was going about 50 in a 45, I was about 1/4 of a mile from the 55mph mark. When all of a sudden out of no where lights start going. Mind you a truck JUST passed me in the same section, going faster than I was, but I was the one being pulled over.

I pull off to the side of the road when the officer comes up. He says “ma’am do you know you were going 52 in a 45”? I simply stated “No, I thought I was going 50 in a 45.”

He asks for all my legal paper work, registration, proof of insurance and drivers license. I gave him all the information he needed and he goes to his car comes back hands me this…

He then states”I gave you a little break I put 55 in 45 instead of 57, which would have been classified differently”. I am beyond mad at this point, never got a speeding ticket now, I am going to have to pay a ton…

As my husband and I go to drive away, my husband was like… “Didn’t he say 52 in a 45 when he came to the car”? He sure did… and I know I wasn’t going 57 in a 45, because I know the police are watching.

After a few days passed, I called the courthouse to find out what I had to pay… $85!!! So I ask what happens if I fight it, at this time I was told if I fight it, it will go on my record, if I pay it and not fight it, it will be cleared as if it never happened. I have anxiety I didn’t want to deal with it, so I went and paid even though, I know I wasn’t going the 55 in a 45.

If I would have known there are companies out there that will help you fight speeding tickets, I would have contacted them. TicketKick is a company that will help you save money on those speeding tickets.

I will never get a speeding ticket again. I did scan my first and last speeding ticket, because of the Officers name and to make the hurt a bit better about getting the ticket, his name has been used in many jokes.

I go understand police officers are just doing their job; however, I am sure the guy that passed me in the same spot and at the same time I was speeding, was going a lot faster than I was.

Have you ever got a speeding ticket? If so did you pay it or fight it.
