So apparently they said no all 10 times. I would have given up after 6 or 7 tries. :D

FYI a friend who travels I 45 regularly for business advises to keep it at the speed limit between
I 20 and DW's Adult Video just north of Corsicana. Will need to watch for Fairfield in the future. Sunday there were plenty of cars blowing by me at 85 plus to occupy [deleted] Weed and his ilk so my 75 was golden.

I believe the night time speed limit on I-45 is 65 thus you were not 5, but 10 over...that will get you a ticket every time.

I find it interesting that in the entire Freestone County area there is not ONE traffic ticket dismissal attorney.

Here's a strategy I try to employ. I keep my speed at or below the actual speed limit. It's worked wonders for me.

So how much would the average person be willing to pay a ticket dismissal attorney to avoid a $165 fine. The fine is probably cheaper. 8)

The nerve of those cops enforcing the actual law. Ridiculous.

My strategy is to find someone like Mestengo and match his speed but hang back about 20 car lengths. :wink:

The ticket $ is not the real factor. It is the increase in insurance premiums that could occur depending on the X factor. If you pay it you are guilty and those points are assessed to your record.

I have not had a ticket in 20 years. I do not want to take a driving course online as I may hang myself during the process. So it would be worth $75 to $150.00 not to have to take a class. And to not have it on my record. Total cost $305.00 including the fine. I believe I will take the pony boy approach in the future. He's a cop or a blood sucker :lol:

All I'm saying is that if you've ever seen a family extracted from a vehicle by the jaws of life, you'll rethink your driving strategy. Speed limits are there to try to minimize such things.

or EMT. Either way, thanks ponyboy for your service.

At any rate, what irritates me is when you see state troopers parked under a bridge poaching people going 5mph or over or whatever, and a couple of miles the other way is a disabled motorist that use the help
