I just got my first speeding ticket. Ever.
I tried to get out of it. I was ever so charming and apologetic to the officer. (Maybe I should have taken off my wedding band and flirted a little. Although I was driving a minivan with kids in it, so he probably wouldn’t have fell for it. Still…..)
No dice. He handed me a ticket. Actually, he claims to have generously not given me a ticket just a ‘citation’. (I was clocked going 42 in a 25, which would have been a zillion dollars and 4 points on my licence. But he put me as going 30 in a 25, which is a ‘citation’ not a ticket, and no points.) Well, this little ‘citation’ is going to cost $117. Well, thank you so much, Officer! Because I thought that tickets were expensive. Thank goodness you only gave me a citation!!
Glad I’ve been working so hard to save money, to be able to spend it on new clothes. our trip to Disney. Dinner out. something fun like this.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Ugh. That bites. But girl. You gotta slow down!
Okay, why did that post twice? Anyway. At least this happened AFTER you got your bling so husband can’t decide to spend valentines money on your traffic ticket, I mean CITATION.
I feel your pain…been there….several times during my driving years. Although it had been about 10 years or so since I was pulled over. Then last year I did and it was with the kids. I just got a warning thank goodness. Was your mom with you????
Oh, not good. Not good at all. That’s expensive!
That sucks! I feel your pain!
the worst part is….
i can no longer tease husband about his ticketSSSS and my perfect driving record.
ugh. That feels like a punch in the gut when you have to spend money on stuff like that. Since you do have a perfect driving record you might want to contest it and see if they knock it in half. My hubby works for the police dept and says that’s pretty common. So sorry, though girlie. That sucks!
$117!? Wow, that’s a lot of money for a little speed!
Sorry you have to cough up that kind of dough!
