Speeding tix and speed trap zones..
1/10/2007 at 4:58 PM
Got nabbed for a 72 in a 50 on Braecrest. Cop did me a favour and listed it at 69 to save me some coin. He liked me attitude! Ticket is still $195.
For 19 km over the limit, $195 seems real hefty!! Is that what tickets are these days? He said he saved me $100 by putting it at 69. That could have been a $300 ticket for only 22km over!!
I didn't get too upset - just the "cost of doing business" as I told him. The fine was just more than I would have guessed. No big deal.
Beyond that, where are the known speed traps in Brandon? I've seen them on Richmond near 26th. I have now seen them on Braecrest near KDL furniture. Where else should I be watching my foot?
That $200 ticket for me just means I'll have less to give the United Way this year.
