It is pouring rain, but still a great day!!!
Went to traffic court to fight an excessive speeding ticket that had a $368 fine attached. The cop was a no show so I win, the ticket was dropped
This was poetic justice. The old thread I posted about getting this ticket was lost with the server crash. So this is what happened in a nutshell:
-first day on the road after a long winter
-all shined up and driving to a great photo spot
-traffic was slower than molassas (not even going the speed limit)
-finally all the slow bastarts turned off the highway
-after driving a firefly for 3 months I opened my baby up
-cops were right there hiding on the side of the road at the last exit ramp
-busted
-cop could not quit saying "love your car man"
-followed that up with "please sign here"
At least he had a good taste with cars.

I was doing 139 km/h in a 80 zone. Here in BC the law does not allow speeding fines to be reduced by a court. I was lucky because I was doing over 160 (100 mph) when I saw the cops way up the road and slammed the brakes on.
I rarely speed now ( I am 40 years old), but every once in a while I might open it up when there is no traffic.
