He said that it doesn't matter, I broke the law, I got a ticket.
First of all, that is what deffered adjudication or driving school is for. Never let a ticket go on your record.
For that matter if we all fought frivales tickets it would no longer be worth issueing them. The governments have a fairly hard problem, despite what they say, tickets are income. I personally think the new DD fees are going to cost them more money in people fighting convictions than they get in fines. They are making it more advantageous to roll the dice. And of course more people may just stop paying for their DL, and drive anyway. Which will of course cause other problems.
This is what rubs me the wrong way. Speeding laws are what is known as "Strict liability". What this means is that intent or anything else that might justify speeding is no excuse. You speed, you break the law, period. That in an of itself is not so bad. What sucks is how it is not applied even handedly.
I have always done well with the general rule to be driving the ubiquitous vehicle. The BRG Sprint ST with 3 bags was by far the least "paid attention to" vehicle with 2 wheels I have ever riden where I have probably fractured more laws that any person should be able to get away with . The second is my '95 Escort GT (green of course). For that matter I have gotten away with a fair bit in my green ranger as well.
I got pulled over a couple of times on my 'blue ZX9r, just because I was there.
The jurt is still out on the silver FJR, of course, I have yet to be pulled over on it either
In other words, the flashy or the potentially unsafe looking vehicles are going to get the cops attention first. And it works for me.
