Default Got a Speeding Ticket.. advice on amount ?

Let me begin by saying, i do think i deserve a ticket because of my frequent speeding on the way to work every single day, i never driver bellow 80mph unless there is traffic and cant go faster but quite frequently i'll hit 100 or so..

So on my way to work this morning, some golf lowered w/exhaust zooms by with a pretty cute chick driving it.. so i let her say 5-10 cars in front.. few miles down she bones out.. i was stuck in between a few cars.. once traffic let off.. i was in 2nd lane to the fastest, doing about 80 i swoop around in the fast then back all the way in the slow lane 4 lanes down so that i could chase that gti.. and what do i see in my rear view mirrors... a pissed off redneck fatass cop! Right after i stoped, before i could even get my insurance info and all that crap he's trying to open my passanger door and ****.. wtf! anyhow he tells me i was speeding my excuse was i'm going to work, pretty lame.. he gives me speeding ticket 80mph in 65mph, and says i speeded in all 4 lanes in the notes section so i'm sure i cant fight that one. And of course he did not forget the "no front" plate on my jdm front.. i was like the car just came out of the body shop, he's goes you should have had them put it on for you. Then right before the went back to his gay moped, he says hmm.. is this your first ticket?? I was like yes, its my first one in 5YRS (Traffic)! he's reply was "ohh good!" all i can say is FOCK YOU! thats about it, just had to vent someplace.

Btw, does anyone know how much a speeding ticket in CA goes for? when doing 80 in 65? Just wanna know how many pennies i need
to put aside from my check on friday! lol!

thanks guys

actually i got a ticket 2 months ago for rolling a stop sign in santa barbara.. dark street i was lost, had to roll to middle of the street to see the damn street name.. a pig was camping in the side street and gave me a ticket.. that cost 150! i check this morning both violations are 1 point each so it doesnt matter which one i do.. i think i'll take traffic for rolling stop since i already paid for it. And i guess now i shall have one gay point in my record.. fock! i wonder how much this will affect my insurance. Or maybe i'm better off i take off the speeding ticket.. so when the cop pulls me over next time he will not see the speeding ticket listed and have an extra reason to issue another violation. btw, he said this too this morning.. he goes.. son in a car like this you are asking to be pulled over.. i wish i could have say.. from the bottom of my heard FAWK YOU! damn i'm still pissed.. anyhow is this gonna cost me 200 or more? cause i'm broke! man i dont want to start selling spoon **** now to pay off a ticket lol!

ryan.. no wonder they dont pull you over.. they all must admire a truck like that.. i havent run into a single cop that doesnt hate imports with a passion, but when they see a nova or a stang running around w/a muffler louder then a harly then its ok.. ohh well maybe i should start waking up early so that i can drive 65 mph to work and make it on time.

I got two words for ya...

Valentine One

Oh, and...

Situational Awareness (I guess thats 4 words...)

Even without radar, if you pass a cop on the right going 120mph at 8K in 4th - you're getting a ticket - or worse!

I was being stupid(don't ask) and got a ticket for going 70 on a 35.
$350 it said on the ticket. I went to court and the judge brought it down to $100 + $30 for traffic school. Not to bad for my first.
Just go to court and tell the judge what you did and they will probably give you a break, assuming this is your first.

Fight.

Never let a bunch of people who can take so much away from you stick it in your ***.

Yes, I have a problem with authority. And police. And taxes for what it's worth.
