Speeding Ticket?
Few months ago, we headed to MS rolling down Interstate 49 in the Porsche Macan GTS. I normally would have taken the Grand Wagoneer, but we opted for the Porsche this time around. Problem is, for some reason I didn't take my newer high end Uniden Radar Detector; left it in the Jeep. Duh. At one point I had 4 vehicles in front of me, both lanes screwing around slowing down, speeding up, slowing down..... as normal, I got pissed off, saw an opening and shot through them about a 100mph. Slowing down back to 75mph ( okay .. maybe low 80s), I came around a corner less than a minute after passing the 4 ass wipes and .... Sheriff's car sitting there with his radar on because he immediately hit the blue lights. Grrrrrrrr...
I was carrying a 9mm so when he walked up I handed him both pieces of ID. After a few seconds, he handed me back my CHL and excused himself. Never said another word about it.. Few minutes later he came back writing me a ticket. I explained what had happened but there was zero discussion to be had. He was professional, I was respectful and I was soon back on the road headed to MS thinking "crap ... there's go my Insurance!"
Few years back I signed up with a nationwide Legal company that for a few hundred bux every year will do your wills, trusts, handle your driving tickets, etc. Most at zero cost. Other things at a reduced rate. I'd never utilized them for this sort of thing previously since this is a rarity for me (though I wish I had several years back when I got a ticket for "rolling" through a 4 way stop.) The legal folks told me Louisiana was a ball buster and I'd be lucky to get out of this 100%. I stated I didn't want it on my record if possible. Well, mission accomplished. Yes, I was speeding. But there were extenuating circumstances. And yes, I was in the process of slowing down (thank god he didn't get me a few seconds earlier!). So, these guys paid for themselves this year. Kudos!
Just gets better ..... was even less when paid
