[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 826390, member: 484"] A speeding ticket is no big deal unless you get several within a couple of years. Usually they are 4 points. At 12, you lose your license. Anything above 20 is reckless driving, and in some places its 15. Reckless driving is much worse, both in points and the way UPS views the ticket. They could take you off the road for reckless driving. So it is very very serious. Not at all the shrug it off occurrence you are trying to portray. Also, around here, if the area is considered residential, you get the ticket, and in addition to the ticket, you have to pay an additional fine per MPH over. Here it is $200.00 per MPH. So your ticket here would cost you $500 for the reckless driving, $5600.00 in fines, and $55-95 in court costs. And you would only need one more point offense on your record to lose your license, as reckless at this speed is 8-10 points. You might get the points reduced if you attend an 8 hour safe driving class, but you would still have at least 4-6. IF you have your CDL, the above is doubled in our area, without the ability to take the classes to reduce the points. That ought to give you a clue as to how stupid it was to break the law. Not to mention it puts UPS and your fellow driver in a bad light to the public. d [/QUOTE]
