So it was a sunny day, driving to work in a hurry, just crusing down the road in a rental car that I wasn't too familiar with (Passing up a few cars as always) I admit being a dumb a** because I had NOTHING, No detector or anything. Irioncally a Bel RX65 is scheduled to arrive the next day... on my birthday. Well today I learned my lesson, my first speeding ticket EVER. Granted I have only been driving three years, well I will tell ya living in Colorado we used K and Ka for the most part as about 1 - 1 1/2 urs ago I invested in a Cobra... Cheap $80 detector, and while speeding to work, 60 in a 40 it alerted me in time, saved me and paid itself off. Well recently my city became Centennial and with the name change we eventually got our own law enforcement... hence leading up to the worst day in my life. Heading to work in a hurry, as usual I turned a corner, assuming the coast to be clear ( I used to work for pizza delivery & thought I had seen EVERY speedtrap hideout in the local area) Well I was very wrong right around the corner was a centennial officer, I knew he had me when I looked down at the speed-o only to see 55ish in a 40. I was pulled over, the officer was VERY rude, demanded my license, etc. Didn't care for any excuse I had to offer and quickly left to his car, returning under 5 minutes later with a carbon copy ticket. He stated, I clocked you with LASER (Damn laser!) going 56 in a 40... On a side note currently I drive a 2000 Nissan Maxima SE, Insurance monthly is about $270, nearly my payments on it! I assume I am a "high risk" driver. Well the thing is I have a left on red violation in '03 and a careless driving accident 1 year later The point is that if I cannot find some way to prove error, or anything in court... I will not have to worry about driving anymore as I will probably be dropped from my current insurance and unable to afford other companies they would offer it. ANY IDEAS?
