Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket on your Bike?

Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket on your Bike?


If so, Please state the amount THEY said you were going & how much did it cost you.


Me? well, they said I was doing 82 in a 45 as I was exiting the highway. The ramp was long so I hadn't really slowed down yet. Anyways, Had an attorney on retainer & was able to get some sort of diversion so no points. However I still had to pay the ticket. About 200 Bucks.

Officer "said" he could have taken me to jail or something but in those moments yes sir & no sir goes a long way. Now, had he clocked me just a few minutes earlier, I probably would have been in bigger trouble.

This took place at night. Only people on the road were me & the cop lol.

49 in 35. By a motorcycle cop. $200 ish I believe it was.

Wow, seems steep. Haven't gotten a speeding ticket ever. LOL! Gotta catch me to ticket me. Last ticket I got could've been a speeding ticket, but the cop gave me the military discount. Failure to obey a traffic sign, no points and smaller fine.

I rarely go more than 5 over the limit. So no speeding tickets for me.

Same here, 5-10 over most times max... unless in traffic.. then I go with the flow... too old to be getting tickets and 15 or over is bad in va... wreckless isn't something you want on your record

I could see on/off ramps being a trap though... but most speed sings are yellow... meaning its not THE limit... but the recommended speed:sly:

I was in town on way to work... Speed went from 45 to 35 to 25. I thought it was still 45. Luckily he didn't hit me at the 25 section.

I always thought that too (yellow signs being recommended and white/black being the law), but I don't think most cops think so. I'll have to check that out.

Mine was a combination. Passing on a double yellow and 80 in a 55. Cost me $595

Weather they think that or not is irrelevant. It's the law. Yellow is a cautionary sign, not a regulatory sign. The hitch is that if they deem what you're doing as reckless they can still write you up for it.

58 in a 35...

Took the option to go to traffic school vs. paying the ticket. In the end, 6 hours out of my Saturday and $140 (fee for the traffic school).

Yeah , very true. Luckily in 38 years of living never gotten a speeding ticket.

97 in a 55

$168 = $35 for speeding and $132 for court costs

Although I did a diversion program that cost 6 dollars more to keep it off the record if I didn't get another ticket in the next 6 months.

 

[MNGreg]

I think I have come very close, but I quickly slow down when needed and the cops dont turn around on me. Though I USUALLY try to keep the speedometer no more than 5-7 over... or just keep up with traffic.

NOT YET! but with this riding season upon us and me being much more comfortable with my bike I hope I wont lol

He had me on video. No fighting that one. (although it was only a side shot, didn't get my plate until he caught me later) The crappy thing was that the reason I passed was I was the first of 10 or more vehicles stuck behind ( what else ) a Prius doing 25 in that 55 zone. I got to a mile long straightaway that just a week earlier was a broken yellow. They painted it a double yellow and had a cop hiding in the trees just waiting when I pulled out and went past. If there hadn't been another freaking car in the way 3 or 4 miles down the road he'd have never caught me. Not that I was running (i had no idea he was back there chasing me) but it was a very twisty section after that strait that I know very well and no car would be able to keep up, plus there's an intersection where you could go 3 different ways about a half mile away from where he got me, and the way I was going isn't the normal direction.

After he gave me the ticket he asked if I had any questions. I asked why the guy doing 30mph UNDER the speed limit (which is just as illegal) didn't get pulled over for that and holing up traffic (which is also illegal) He just turned and walked away.

Like most sensible riders, I try to stay within ten of the limit. I break it when I feel it's warrented in passing. You got screwed, bro. No doubt.

Wrong place, wrong time. I hate when that shiat happens.

I got nabbed doing 83 in a 65. Cop was parked on the side of a weigh station. As soon as I saw him I looked down to see my laser detector going crazy and knew I was boned. He knocked it down to "failure to obey a traffic device" which was only about $60 and fewer points on my license. That was the only ticket I've PAID. I've successfully fought others.
