Got pulled over for Speeding. Still don't think I was speeding, I was going with the flow of traffic on the expressway at what felt like 40ish. Seen the cop sitting on the side and didn't even bother to look down or attempt to slow down. I was pretty convinced I wasn't speeding, by the traffic flow and how I was pretty low in 5th gear chugging along.

So he hits his lights and gets behind me. I pull over. He ask for license and insurance and walks back to his car. Comes back with my stuff and with the ticket and says I pulled you over for speeding sign here hands me the paper and walks away. Look at the paper and it says 50 in a 35...wtf.

Not sure how much its going to be haven't called to find out yet, and Im still convinced I wasn't going that fast at all. Im wondering if it was possible where he was sitting to get the cars on the highway and not me? Any info on how to fight this?

My advice will be contingent on the municipality in which the ticket was received.

So if everyone was going over the speed limit...the sports car gets pulled over. Nothing new to most members here.

That's it? I guess they're pretty friendly up near the red river. I need to move...

It's easy to not think your speeding in the flow of traffic. Most city driving where the limit is 35mph feels extremely too slow. I always take the same route home and when exiting GB the main street has a limit of 35mph and the speed that is comfortable is usually ten over that. Unless you checked your speedo and got confirmation of a radar printout... you were speeding. If you haven't had a ticket in awhile, you should be able to pay it without it going on your record. Be more careful.

3am. North on I35 just passe marietta. HE was under the overpass. Seen blue berries and cherry's and decided it would be just better to pull over. NO traffic anywhere. Prolly why I got off.

I got popped for 52 in a 30 one morning after leaving the donut shop (too bad I got kolaches). Then about 9 months later coasting down hill in 5th gear ass cop got me for 45 in a 40. Really....

BV which city and part of the city? I can probably give you the exact price, gotten tons of tickets in this area lol.

Was it one of the sheriff that have been chilling on the 190 access road recently?

**BV600** · 05-07-2014, 08:32 AM

Yeah it was on the access road right past red lobster area in killeen heading towards hood

$177.10, http://www.killeentexas.gov/pdf/kmc/fines_list_2012.pdf

Honestly I would just try to do defensive driving. It should be like $110 court fee, $25 class, and $12 driving record.

I've had 0 luck getting killeen to give me a motion of discovery before I talk to the prosecutor at the pretrial hearing, after pleading not guilty. And even when set up for an actual trial date, it was like pulling teeth to get the information I wanted. By now, you're probably looking at a trial date around November/December this year or sometime next year if you decide to fight it.
