One of these days they're going to nail me for going 120 mph out in the country, and I'm going to be crying, too.
I could, and I should, but I wont.

130$ for the ticket. If I have it lowered, at around 85$... and lose at least 4h of work... wich is worth more....

And i could expose myself to the same amout (less what I earn) if they don't accept to lower my ticket (and i think that they add a court fee of 65$ if you loose)

Also, here in Quebec/Canada, not every insurance company ask for driver record/tickets, so it doesn't affect my premium... only my Driver license will cost a bit more for next 2 years (130$ at the place of 95$, if i remember correctly!

Still a bummer, i was driving at the same speed than the rest of the traffic.. but i will have to assume that my car is easier to target!

thanks for all the answers again!
