Would you pay this ticket?!

[blueta2]

Ok so I was merging onto a 3 lane busy road. From this merge you need to go into the reserved bus lane (you have no choice). Since you are not allowed to drive in the bus lane, you need to merge as quick as you can to the middle lane once you make the merge.
I'm in the bus lame and had my flicker on waiting to merge into the middle lane but no one would let me in. I went about 300 ft and no joke, a cop jumps out from a bush, in front of my car, I slam on my breaks, almost hit the jerk and he tells me to pull over.
I tell him "hey I almost hit you. You cannot jump out into traffic like that. What did I do?"
He said " you were driving in the reserved bus lane"
I was like "yeah I was and my flicker was on and I was trying to get into the middle lade"
He says "What for a whole block you were trying to merge"
I should have said "well you were hiding in a bush, how the hell did you see how far I was"
So the DICK writes me a $151 ticket
Do I pay it or fight it?

 

[feisty11975]

I'd fight the hell out of it!

 

[fistfullofsteel]

women shouldn't drive. if it was frisky, she would have managed to kill everybody on the bus.

What bus? there was no bus in my story...haha!

 

[Dial_tone]

i'd fight it but expect to lose.

Once a cop pulled me over for expired tags. I saw him before I passed by. He was parked in the entry drive to an office building AT LEAST 30 yards back from the road and I wasn't even in the right most lane. Superman couldn't have seen my expired tag from where that fucker was parked. I didn't want to make it worse by calling him on it. I figure he was radaring someone else, pulled out to chase, decided he couldn't catch them in traffic then saw my dumbass

 

[ksharp01]

I would try to fight it. But I live in a state when we are 2 highest in auto insurance premiums. If it is our first offense in (i think) 3 years you can go to this lame class that you pay for and it is taken off your record. I don't have a clue how things are in Canada. Yall don't even need to carry health insurance do you? I am pretty sure that is what I was told by some of the guys I wrote ins on that moved here from there to be nurses.

 

[Raptorex]

take a picture of the intersection and the bush he was in and bring it to the hearing. It will be dismissed if it is as you suggested. Goodluck.

 

[heatherrae]

I would show up in court and fight it.

 

[Bikini Mod]

Like DT said, you could fight it, but you WILL lose.

No matter how big a dickhead the cop is being you gotta kiss their power-hungry asses. After all they write you the tickets, not the other way around unfortunately.

 

[Cutiebaby]

I would fight it! But then again my driving record is spotless.
The more tickets you have the greater the chance to lose the fight..If your record is near to clean or clean than fight it.

 

[stilleto]

fight it- you WON"T lose.
every ticket i've ever fought- including parking, i've won.

i've realized that just going to fight it, and being polite and well spoken, will make the judge do SOMETHING for you.

also, wear a tight top.

 

[Bikini Mod]

I guess it is a matter of weighing your time against just paying 150$ fine.

 

[ksharp01]

also, wear a tight, low cut top.

fixed

 

[hotzie]

fuckin canadians cant drive.

 

[katdav]

fight it- you WON"T lose.

Our auto insurance does not go up b/c of tickets?
We have medicare up here, but we need to carry our cards at all times, if that's what you mean?!
And yes ALL our nursed go to the US to work...haha! WE do not pay high for medical dr's and nurses up here
Average nurse makes $35,000 a yr

 

[blueta2]

I was and will do this..I will make sure to stand in the pic looking like I do in my avi JUST IN CASE ;-)
It happened exaclty like I said.............thanks sweets

 

[blueta2]

I would show up in court and fight it.

Come with me....I'll bring chocolate

So you think I have a good chance then?

 

[KillahBee]

Fight it. Take pictures of distances and where he was hiding behind a bush.

There is a GREAT chance you will lose, so be ready for it (the justice system is not about being just, it's about finding the best ways to exploit the system..it is what it is). Your driving record will come into play really big here.

 

[blueta2]

Mine is semi spotless...in my 24 yrs of driving I only got 3 tickets.
And I drive everyday to and from work so not bad in 24 yrs (I think)!
One was for speeding when I was 16, then when I was 22, speeding. Then 4 yrs ago, I APPARENTLY went through a yellow light. Which I did not. I did not fight that ticket though.

 

[blueta2]

Well not all judges are power hungry. I know a few ppl who have won.
I am just so mad that this dick jumped out in front of my car. If I had hit him, I would have been arrested for wreckless driving.

 

[blueta2]

hahaha....Ok tight top and bring my smart too
I agree, I think if you are calm and prepared the judge will side with you.
Wish I was wearing a tight top last night.....grrrrrrr hehe!

 

[blueta2]

I guess it is a matter of weighing your time against just paying 150$ fine.

I agree.....1/2 day off of work (court house not close to me) and the time, the stress and to pay for parking in the city.
I thought of this

I agree...I think the almighty dollar is a huge factor here.
It was totally weird how they were pulling cars over too. I was not the only one, it was like an assembly line of cars they were catching. Two cops were hiding and just jumping out at cars and telling them to pull over.
It was rush hr and trying to get into the center lane from the bus lane was not easy. They know ppl at that time will HAVE To be in the bus lane

I will prob fight it...I am so mad. I'm a Libra and HATE injustice!
Oh and to boot, I was on my way to help my neighbor who's husband died last week of cancer. This women is 51 and is disabled. I have been helping them through their whole ordeal and yesterday she needed me to get home to take her to help her...on my way to do a good deed and BAM, I get pulled over.
No good deed goes unnoticed? hmmmmmmmmmm!

 

[fistfullofsteel]

What bus? there was no bus in my story...haha!

and women shouldn't be allowed to eat.


doesn't matter if there wasn't a bus in the story, she will find one and manage to wipe everybody out.

It was GODs will that you recieved it.. Yes pay it...lol

 

[Arabian]

Seriously, hire an attorney and fight it in court. Never pay a ticket and never represent yourself. The bad thing is if you pay it, then it becomes an insurance issue for the next 4 years, because Im sure a charge like that is carrying at least 2 to 4 insurance points.. Good Luck

 

[hotzie]

ok seriously, who are you? I think you're a stalker!

you caught me , i like to stalk old women.

 

[stilleto]

you're prob right ;-)

 

[blueta2]

phewww, well at least I am still worth stalking

 

[string_bean00]

if your record is pretty clean you can fight a lot of stuff


if you got a DUI on it you're guilty no matter what

 

[Sean Scott]

if your driving is anything like your terminology (flicker) then you deserve that ticket. It is a turn signal or turn indicator.

hahah...guilty! Up in Canada, we say FLICKER! Learn Canadian will ya!
Turn signal is just tooooooooo much to say!

what about breaks ?

 

[blueta2]

what about breaks ?

heheh...I'm not perfect my little stalker


BRAKES...........better!

 

[healother]

thats unfortunate, i'd fit it if i were you. as you said, there was nowhere to go, so you had to drive there.

in the future, dont confront the cop right away in a defensive or angry manner. even if he did almost hit you. confronting him about it like that will definately increase your odds of a ticket.

I wish I had fought my last speeding ticket, but I chickened out at the last minute and cancelled my court appointment. (i didnt want to have to miss school that day either) the DA wouldnt make any deals beforehand either, like they do a lot of the time. she was a bitch and wouldnt even stop typing and doing her work to talk to me. load of crap.

 

[ZKaudio]

i thought the cops in canada rode horses not cars?

His horse was grazing in the field while he was on foot jumping out in front of my car ;-)

I may just pay simply because I have so much to deal with in life, that the stress of taking 1/2 day off of work to fight it is not worth it.
They know ppl won't fight b/c it's a huge hassle.
Also, I was not defensive or angry with this cop, I was startled when he jumped out in front of my car and I literally had to slam on my BRAKES to avoid hitting him. I was stunned and when I opened my window I said "My God I almost hit you" Then calmly (I am a calm person) tried to explain why I was in the bus lane.
He was filling his quota, he didn't care what I had to say.
