Is This Speeding Ticket Appropriate?

[lawildcat]

And I am willing to debate this harder than any debate I have ever been involved in. Speeding tickets are stupid and nothing more

than an easy way for money to be made off of us all. Speeding tickets are stupid, inappropriate and unnecessary.

 

Bring it. I'm ready.

 

How are you supposed to deter people from driving too fast if there are no consequences for their actions?

So, is the war on speed really working?:banana:

Yeah, I'm interested to hear this debate. :lol2:

 

As someone who drives fast, I think most speeding tickets are probably legit. Although I can certainly understand how some could be disputed.

Let's not get lost in the weeds. Guy got a ticket for speeding to save a life.

 

Should he get a pass ?

Nope. The law's the law. At least that's what people say on here all the time.

Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?

 

Do you slow down now when you see a police officer on the side of the road?

 

Do you have an unlimited amount of money for tickets/fines? How many points have you accumulated on your license? Do you still have your license?

It is very easy to call 911 and let them know you are transporting someone to the emergency room and request assistance.

For starters tickets don't deter people from driving fast. Insurance rates do. For the most part common sense rules the day for most drivers and people want to get from point A to point B as safely as possible. You know when people slow down? When they see the cop on the side of the road. Otherwise a majority of folks are speeding.

I'm a big fan of hitting people hard on speeding tickets but this guy would get a pass from me.

Is this fact or just your opinion?

 

I would argue that the ones that do get caught aren't too happy about a $200+ ticket with court costs and are more conscientious about slowing down in the future.

 

Do you have any suggestions for slowing people down that would work better?
