Hey guys I got a ticket in my new corolla tonight. And it had to happen after I was enjoying bringing a girl in my class home. WHat a good way to ruin a nice drive home.
heres the story- Brought her home, got on a local road I take home (not a lot of traffic). I was coasting down a hill (always have) then let my car slow down ( I mean everyone coasts down a hill so your 10 over for a few seconds big deal right). Got me 51 in a 35 (always slow down after done coasting down hill). I told him my stepdad said its ok to coast down a hill then slow back down after, he said argue it in court, he also said there have been a lot of people hit where I was driving through... But he was a nice guy. Its funny how I never had a problem before until tonight. I have a few questions I need answered...
1. Is it ok to go 5 over speed limit (coasting down hill, driving on highway) I always have without a problem. But now im scared too after getting a ticket.
2. There is a number on my ticket- do I call this number to find out how to pay in mail and not have to go to court.
3, Will this increase my insurance rate and points on license (Double fine speeding before I moved down here in NY 3-4 yrs ago) didnt affect anything then as far as I know.
ANd im not being a pussy and saying I didnt do anything wrong, I take full responsibility for my actions and want to learn from this mistake.
