Traffic Speeding
Ticket
I have never gotten a traffic speeding ticket, though I
can’t say I shouldn’t have. My husband tells me that I have got
to slow down, and I do for the most part, but when I get on the
highway I have a problem staying within the speed limit.
I’m not one of those that goes 90 and zooms in and out of
traffic, but I do tend to go 70 or 75. I do go slower when my
daughter is in the car, but for some reason I just can’t seem
to slow down when I am on my own.
I know that I will probably end up getting a traffic
speeding ticket one of these days, and I do know I have been
lucky thus far. I am not nearly as bad as many that I know, and
I can’t imagine that I am in the minority. There are a lot of
people who refuse to slow down, and they are the ones that
rarely seem to get the speeding tickets. It seems like the
people that usually follow the speed limit are the ones that
get caught the one time they decide to go a little faster.
My husband has never gotten a traffic speeding ticket
either, but I think that is just luck as well. He’s not quite
as bad as I am, but he does go too fast on occasion. Those
occasions don’t usually occur when our daughter is in the car,
so perhaps she has helped the both of us to avoid getting a
traffic speeding ticket. Though we should be worried about
ourselves for her sake, having her in the car is a very
apparent reminder to slow down.
When you get a traffic speeding ticket, you should know that
it will add points to your license, and your insurance might go
up. You can fight the ticket, but you had better have a good
reason for our speeding. There are times when an officer will
not write you a ticket, but they will issue you with a warning.
It depends on the situation and how fast you were going as
apposed to everyone else on the road. If you are going
extremely fast, you may find yourself with a whole new set of
problems. You might get a ticket for reckless driving, and that
is much worse for your license and your wallet.
