Went on a road trip to Pullman (Washington State University) this week and before I even started the trip I got a ------- speeding ticket. He wrote the ticket for 89 mph in a 70 mph zone and it was $153. The gay part about it was that an aircraft cop flying around caught me and a stupid motorcycle cop pulled me over. The motorcycle cop didn't see ----, but he said the aircraft caught me going 90 mph for a little while a few miles back. It was cloudy, rainy, and I didn't see or hear any helicopters or airplanes so I think they made it all up.

If any of you have any stories or comments about aircraft speeding tickets let me hear them because I need some ammo to fight this ------- gay *** ticket. I know there has to be a way out of it. This happened to a friend of mine and he got it dropped because the aircraft pilot didn't show up so I will try and do something like that and have the court date moved a few times.

hey dude, that sucks ***. they've gotten me before going over to pullman. anyway, on the back of the ticket, there is three boxes you can check. check the one that says contest. it will give you an oportunity to explain to the judge what happened. most likely, there is no proof that you were speeding, and the case will be dropped like your freinds did. at the very least, contesting the ticket will give you some time before you have to pay up... which probably won't happen. just take it to court and use your silver tounge.

that sucks dude, i got a bulllshit exhibition of acceleration ticket a few months back and they wanted to charge me like $90 for the court date and fees to fight it so make sure it's worth it first cuz they'll charge you up the *** everytime you move your date or go back to court.

that blows man ,if you say you didn't hear or see anything and it being cloudy and so fourth. I doubt the pilot would show up and if he did i would say i want some proof to show how fast i was going. Im happy the cops aren't that ---- around here ,hope ya beat it.

theres a way to get around it if they slipped. if the officer(ask 1 of the lawyers that send you ---- in the mail to make sure, i just went to driving school for a $185 speeding ticket and they told me something like that) who pulled you over put his nane on the ticket then they throw it out.

that sucks, but it could be worse. i got a 66 in a 40 a while back and the cop postponed the court date from august to october. i tried talking to him bc im in florida now for school to see if it could be moved to dec or the begining of january and he said no, thats his vacation time and doesnt get paid ot for court appearances. so now i have two choices, get a lawyer to go instead which will cost a lot, or plead guilty which will cost a lot. oh and the ticket was back home in ny

Sorry to hear Pat, I got one coming out of Quincy, nice flat roads to wentachee. I was bombing in my dads mini-van doing 89mph in a 70 as well. I had my radar dector on and everything. I came up slightly over the hill, and I could see in the far far distance some cops on the side of the road had pulled some people over, So I slowed way down, (plenty of time) Passed the cops at 70mph, and 1 jumped behind me, I'm like ok wtf is going on..... he followed me for a good 2 miles and finally pulled me over. Said a airplane radared me 5 miles back doing 89. I about ---- my pants. I ended up just paying the ******, I dont have time to drive over to eastern wash to fight tickets. heh.

Yeah, one of my friends was caught going 90+ by a plane... Then, when the officer was writing the ticket, my friend heard another cop say were pulling over the red integra, and following the accord.(two other friends) All 3 got tickets... wierd

If there was more than one car on the road at the time ask them to prove it was you that was speeding and not the other guy. If they can't prove it was you they will throw it out. I had a friend of mine beat a ticket like that once. He was on I95 in traffic running about 70 in a 55, when he went to court he asked the cop how many other cars were in his radar beam at the time(rush hour on a major freeway), he got off.
