Got a Ticket

Personally, I wouldn't worry about 6 points if you're allowed 18 especially in a two year period. If you get another ticket then just slow down until the two years are up. It's no big deal! Just shrug it off!

Funny, I had almost forgotten that I got pulled over last Sunday afternoon. A couple of the g-kids were with me when I got the call that my Mom had gone into a coma. I took them home and was SPEEDING back home to get on the road to Louisiana. A deputy constable was going the opposite direction and turned around with his lights on. I honestly thought the limit was 45mph, but he said I was going 48 in a 30. I was already crying and told him what was going on and that I hadn't had any kind of ticket in 19 years. When he saw my car packed, he told me that he was sorry and to please "try to slow down and be safe".

Of course, if he had followed me, he could have pulled me over again right up the road. I keep it about 5 miles over, but can let the hammer down when I'm by myself.

Thanks Diana, this makes me feel a little better. My friend michelle said even if I take Defensive driving my insurance will probably go up. I have to call today & find out how much my ticket was. I'm a little nervous. I've been being really careful & staying on roads I know & following the speed limit. If hubby is with me; I've been making him drive. I miss driving, but I know I'm not capable of slowing myself down.
