Speeding Ticket Results
Happy birthday, Christian! 
If you haven’t read my previous post or comment about my family’s trip to Promontory Point, then you don’t know I was given my first speeding ticket. You also don’t know I was caught going 80 mph in a 55 mph/construction zone. 
Because fines are doubled in a construction zone in the state of Utah and because I was going 25 mph over the speed limit, the fine for my ticket was $432! 
Today, Corey and I went to court to see if anything could be done about my ticket. I wanted to do traffic school if I could, but the county where I was pulled over doesn’t do traffic school. I was a little worried, but everything worked out nicely. Because I had no priors, the judge stayed my conviction. This means that as long as I don’t get any tickets for traffic violations in the next 12 months, then this ticket won’t go on my record. And, I only had to pay a $152 fine.
I’m so glad I decided to go to court and not just pay the ticket. Now, I just need to be on my best behavior for the next 12 months. As I drove today, I went no more than 7 mph over the speed limit and even though everyone was passing me, it was the most relaxing drive I’ve had in a long time because I wasn’t getting mad at the driver in front of me for not moving over or going faster.

Only 7 MPH? Lady I’m no prude but I would not give the Police the satisfaction of even that. Do the limit, and make sure the cops are out on the road to catch the others…Speed cameras are no good at catching speedsters except to fine them. Its then to late.
They will find it hard to book me except by tricking me these days. And thats done by hiding the speed limit signs etc…
That is so awesome that you fought the ticket and won! Congratulations! I don’t hear of that happening too often, so again, congratulation!
Congrats on not having that ticket on your record. I knew that was going to be expensive. Glad that the judge dropped the price. Way to go. It shouldn’t be too hard to not get another ticket, if it took you this long to get your first.
