A little bit of the hooligan in me has died today

[Jaman]

Sorry Bud.

Tickets suk.  I am lazy, time is valuable/scarce, and usually end up doing the traffic school route...

The Hooligan WILL be reborn.  It's just a matter of time (IF he hasn't already resurfaced...)

He's being a recluse now... Missed a damn near 200 mile ride completely 5-0 free...

Fast in the corners slow in the straights = Ticket free

I would so contest that ticket. From your description of events he is either giving you a reasonable chance to win or he wont even show. Obviously if he doesn't show, you automatically win. If he does show he basically gave you the ammunition to fight and win in court (being, the things he said and what he actually wrote on the ticket).

If you want to be more knowledgeable about how to handle these situations, get this book "How to Fight Your Ticket in California" by Nolo Press.

It is a simple read, and you only need to read the sections that are applicable to your circumstances. I have used that book on several occasions. In ten years I have been pulled over 16 times. I contested all  16 and only had to paid up once.

That one time was in Orange County and I lost because the Law and the principles of Physics in general work differently in the OC. ( What does one expect from the largest county in US history to ever file for bankruptcy) I guess the really need the money....

Good Luck my friend...

Oh yeah for some help on defending yourself:

Oh, boo hoo... Didn't ride for one weekend in 3 months. Wah!  If that makes you a recluse, what does that mean about me?!

Good luck with fighting The Man . Just watch out if they mention anything about bustin' rocks in the hot sun....

PS I've never seen so many cops out than this week. Its like the Pres. is here or something.
I have  strong suspicion its CRACK-DOWN weekend.  Better for us - keep the drunk fools off the road for Memorial Day.

Eyes open folks!

Down here in the south bay the cops are crawling all over the place. It's creepy. I saw more yesterday than Friday-Monday combined. I didn't see as many today. They were hiding in driveways, parking lots, and behind bushes. I wonder how many I didn't see?
