Largest ticket?

got bagged crusing down a local hwy ( 1am) at what the ST said was 108 in a 50 . which i know was incorrect due to the fact that i was in 5th and pulling@ 5700rpm... so he gave me 680$ .. i didnt argue with him there.. ill go see where it goes in court... so i know he had no idea how fast .. he didnt even have me on radar. He was guessing.... any others?

Damn that's a lot of money.

When you knew you were going to get a ticket, you should have asked to see the radar.

My biggest ticket was for about $380. $325 ticket, $55 traffic school. He said I was "a little late" at the redlight on the ticket. I was making a right hand turn at a stop light onto the freeway.

That is not the biggest ticket at all...I was at driving school with a guy who was doing 180 on a bike in a 65 while workers were present which means speeding fines double. He had some other things thrown into the ticket aswell, it came out to 5 grand or somthing like that? I don't remember the exact results, but my draw dropped when he told me lol.

This guy was nailed doing 145 on I-94 in Wisconsin. His fines totaled $1,230. He was driving a WRX.

that's about $900 to $1300 ticket.

he didn't have you on radar, I would fight it. he can't give you a ticket on what he thought you were running.

I won my case, and my 114 mph in a 70 mph zone radar ticket was dismissed. The Judge told me that if I was found guilty, he would have fined me $1,740 and suspended my drivers license for 30 days. Dodged a bullet on that one.

Been cited in the past for "exibition of speed" aka burning rubber in a muscle car. Mistermeanor (sp?) Got it dropped to an infraction $271 + $50 for traffic school. It does not seem like much but when you are 18 working for minimum wage it is a lot.

18 over in a 35 netted me $177.50.

I know that's small compared to these others but when you are right near the holidays
things are tight.

I thought that bike was an RC51? And I don't believe he was doing 205 on any Honda bike unless he was juicin or turbo'd.
