Caught speeding
Damn!!.. I got caught speeding this past weekend... my first ticket... well I was going 82km/hr on a 50 km street.. and there was two cop cars waiting on the corner...im guilty as charged...no issue with that... but what im pissed about is that there was an integra beside me going the same speed... and the cop told me they didnt try chase him because he was only going 80km/hr... and in my mind WTF!!!

the cop did you a favour.
If I were you, I would pay it.
Basically, he doesn't want to go to court for whatever reason (maybe he didn't have you on radar and just guessed your speed, maybe he's being nice)
He gave you a deal. no points is the most important thing, and $50 fine isn't worth spending a few hours to go to court, sit around, and hope to get off.
when you get the full charge.. or if you think you're being dicked around.. take it to court.. if you feel it's fair.. or you're getting a deal.. no need to be a *****.
when you think about how much speeding you've done.. it isn't too bad.
i'm pretty sure it wasn't your first time speeding. haha

madspeed: Pay the ticket, 50 bucks is nothing in this case.

oh my bad!! I though you were doing 150 in a 50, and go it reduced.
Considering he lowered it from $150 to $80, I would say just pay it, and learn from your mistake.
Your insurance may be affected by a bit. Get your divers abstract if your that worried.

Anyway, my insurence never changed because it didn't happen on my car. The insurence company never actually checked my record. As long as you don't change companies and keep your mouth shut, you should be fine. Even if they do check, you didn't loose points, so I highly doubt there will be any real record.
However, you are now in the police system. You better not get caught again or you are screwed.

madspeed, think of it as another tax for not having patience or having a lust for driving/speed like any healthy male.
warnings.. blah blah blah... speed doesn't kill. stupidity kills. sometimes your speed will affect the outcome of the stupidity of others, but if you life your life to that excess, what's the point.
of course this wasn;t your first time. i have a feeling it won't be your last either.
