Hey I am close to ya! Right on the Indiana/Michigan border. AND I myself got a ticket on a county road last October!!! This was around Shipshewanna.. First ticket I have had in 23 years. Totally uncalled for. Young punk cop fresh out of school and trying to earn his wage. Idiot couldn't even tell me where the speed limit was posted, yet wrote me a ticket.. grrrr... |

I've only gotten one ticket ever and it really upset me. I hate being in trouble whether it's at school, at work, on the road, etc. It just really gets to me. I cried for quite a while after I got the ticket. Poor Marty didn't know what had gotten into his crazy mama. The officer thought he was cute, but still gave me the ticket.

I also have a lead foot. But I also have a brother and anephew that are cops, so I'm always able to talk my way out of tickets. (knock on wood) I have a real problem with the way the system works. If you are rich and can just pay off a ticket then you cn speed. For someone like me, who having to pay a $100 ticket would be the difference between putting food on the table, it's just not right. There should be a different system so that it's fair. Yeah, I know, if you can't afford the ticket then don't speed. But that's my point, people who CAN afford the ticket can just ignore the speed limit.
I dont' know about Indiana, but in NJ you can go to court and "plead down" a ticket. It costs the same amount of money but you don't get the points.
