38 in a 25 (thought it was 35) and my insurance expired a week and a half ago. What's the worst that could happen by showing up to court?

T's and P's meister. You want to have legal advice. Those insurance laws are pretty harsh.

If you show up to court with proof you have insurance now, 90 percent chance they drop that. Pay double the fine for diversion and then go home.

Mission, right off Johnson drive.

This is my first time ever being pulled over btw, with a spotless driving/criminal record. I think a warning should be more than fair.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Had to go there twice. They have like all the traffic violations at once so get there early cause it can be super busy

You basically wait in line, talk to a da, they decide to reduce or drop charges, then you either go no contest and pay the cashier or get a real court date

Did you just not have the right card in the car because it just renewed or did you actually lapse in coverage?

Just didn't have the new card

Probably fine on that front then.

Yeah, you're fine.

Yep, just a pain in the ass and the speeding fine, then.

A young SB was riding shotgun in Dr. Spaceman's sweet 'stang in 11th grade on the way back to MHS from the westloop Burger King. As usual, Dr. Spaceman was blaring Rush Limbaugh, because he was the only 11th grader on the planet who blared Rush during lunch breaks while peeling out down Anderson Ave. Hey, his wheels, his choice, amirite? Well we're over around the Lee School area of Anderson, not quite there but you get the idea. 11th grade TrustTheDust rolls up in his minivan and we're cruising down Anderson next to each other. Dr. Spaceman is deep in thought, focused on the road and on getting irate about tax and spend liberals, or maybe he was saying something about Bill Graves that nobody understood. Regardless, he didn't notice SB climbing up on the front seat and hardcore mooning TrustTheDust in the lane next to us. Yep...sirens. They come on and Dr. Spaceman is very confused about why he's getting pulled over. Had to explain it to him and got all

because he was NOT happy.

Cop saunters up and says, "I know I, and everyone else out here on this busy street didn't appreciate seeing your ass hanging out the window. So what should I do? Cite you for indecent exposure? Call your parents and make you tell 'em? Give your friend a ticket for reckless driving? Nope. See, since I've been in the EXACT same situation as you, I'm gonna let this one go. Be safe out there, you guys."

Thanks, Officer Daris.

Crossed a Highway Patrol car on K96 doing about 110. Luckily a friend behind me was going a bit faster and he got pulled over instead.

then years later, walked out of the walmart in Hutch to find a police officer waiting at my car (I had been in the store for at least 20 minutes). Claimed he had clocked me going ten over on my way to the store, but couldn't catch up with me before I got into the store. Took that one to court (I still to this day have no idea if it was legit). Judge laughed at the cop for waiting for me, told me next time to turn around and go back in the store, but upheld the ticket. Guess it was Karma.

got a ticket for going 6 over on west 21st in wichita. entire process took maybe 7 minutes. didn't ask for insurance or registration. just took my i.d., printed the ticket, and left. saw him a few minutes later pulling another car over. revenue generation at its finest.

i've told this one before but to me it's still a funny story so i'll tell it again.

when i was in college the oj court case thing happened (old balls). a friend got a ticket in st marys for going like 31 in a 20 or something. he then went back and looked to see where the 20mph sign was and it was obscured by a tree that had grown in front of it and was hanging over the street. he took it to court and i went to watch. he had taken pictures of the tree, sign, etc and showed them to the judge. then at the very end said "and in closing i'd just like to say, if you can't see the sign then don't pay the fine", like the glove don't fit you must acquit oj thing. it was v funny and is the only time i've ever had to bite myself to keep from laughing. anyway the judge threw out the ticket but he still had to pay court costs. probably one of those you had to be there things.

rick would you point to that moment as the moment when you knew you wanted to be a cop?

My Canadian friend got a second one within a year. What's the best course of action? Diversion? Traffic school?
