Nevada Speeding Tickets - school me

[Ultra...Good]

Highway patrol always wrote me a ticket, they would lower the speed, but always got a ticket. (I deserved all of them). Metro has never given me a ticket, even when I was a young punk.

2014, this time of year, not too long after Michael Brown and the pants up don't loot movement in Fergeson, MO, I get pulled over. Now this is a little town you come into on a steep downgrade in a turn and the speed limit goes from 55 to 25 right before you are at the bottom of the hill. Town has one cop, part time, and camps out at the bottom of the hill except for the time of day when the local bakery disposes of the unsold doughnuts.

Lights come on, cop approaches car and asks for license and insurance info. I give it to him and then he asks me if I knew why he pulled me over. Without skipping a beat, I reply "because I am black". I am not, far from it. Cop looks up from my license at my face, looks back down at the license and then back up at me and tells me to stay right there.

Cop comes back, gives me back my info and tells me to slow down. I am not sure if he was going to write me a ticket that night, but if he was going to, I know what got me out of it.

Next time just tell the cop, “just who do your think pays your salary fella”. Works like a charm.

Last time I got a ticket in Mesquite as a young man, the NHP wrote me for "waste of a natural resource". Was like $30. The cop was way cool and we were young punks back then growing up in vegas and headed out to St George to bang the mormon girls.

I feel old now. lol

I wondered when that one would come up, that used to be real popular 30 years ago. I may have wasted some natural resources back in the day.

get yourself a gold badge........it works!

I carried my buddy's biz card under my DL in my wallet. Whenever I pulled my DL out I was very deliberate so that the LEO notice his card. 90% of the time they told me to have a nice day. Now that is what I call blue blood courtesy.

Ok I got a speeding ticket in Nevada.

How does traffic school work? How does one contest a Nevada ticket? How do “points” work in Nevada?

I got a ticket 85 in a 65 in Nevada. Paid the fine. Never got a point and never did traffic school. I'm a California resident.

that was the 80's for you.
mine was an AZ cop on the way in to the regal and esteemed town of LHC from Vegas/searchlight.
In my 87 GT droptop, I am 'alone' on the road, and get excited about that long lonely desert ahead, motivate the 'stang to growl, pegging the 85mph speedo (remember that?)
and lo, in the rear view, what do I see, distant and small
a white - looks like - mustang.
apparently trying to catch up.
and doing it.
so, I ease.
and then, red light.
constable asks "how fast do you think you were going"
I pointed out that the speedo indicated 85
guy wrote me for 85, but that was generous, and I think he knew it, and I think he knew the federal mandated speed indication leftover from the 55mph limits back in the early 80's
like I said. pay the fine, forget about it, move on.

Craig P Kenney will reduce it to a parking fine. I've used them a couple of times over the last 17 years, my wife on the other hand probably helped build their office.

Agreed. My only real concern was the insurance. I don’t know how the points work, if they report to my home state, etc.

If it is a few bucks for online traffic school to make it just “go away” that is worth it to me.

its very likely they will share with your home state

Call ticket busters here in vegas pay like $125 and then it gets reduced to parking ticket pay that fine and it goes away zero points zero anything

I got a ticket coming into havasu from Parker years back. I think i was 10-15 over.

My wife always gives me shit for getting out of or beating tickets in court when she never has luck. So i get the ticket and AZ passed a law that within certain areas it's not a speeding ticket it is just a fine for wasting gas...haha

My wife was pissed i think it was like $75 and has nothing to do with driving record.

Yep, I got one of those tickets 10 or 15 years ago down by Lake Martinez. Wasting Finite Resources.

I was going over 90

At first I thought What are you doing 90, in your new Speed Car, on the freeway for?

Then I realized...oops wrong thread.
