oh of course, absolutely, during that 14 months I had to be real careful and watched my driving conscientiously. I still now have better driving habits because of it. fighting a ticket does the same as getting the ticket in the first place, if not more to curb bad driving. most ppl don't look for speed limit signs but I do. route 84 and 95 through NE and NY are notorious for jumping from 65 to 45 mph and so many ppl fly at 80+ regardless of any posted speed limits. I was caught going 71 in a 50 on 95 in the Bronx. me and kids were traveling from Boston area for wifey's uncle's memorial family gathering cuz he had just passed away suddenly. i was told a time to arrive and was on schedule and traveling at normal moderate speeds the whole way. wifey had gone down the day before and was already there when the early birds were arriving. we were the last to show up. she started texting my kids cuz she was freaking out as if we were disrespectful. so I slowly started driving faster and moved into the left lane simultaneous to the speed dropping to 50
I came around a bend the same speed as everyone else including a cement mixer but because I was in the left lane I got nailed. the NY cop also saw the Red Sox stickers and my kids and he was the most polite a-hole I ever met and said TWICE that driving in the STATE OF NEW YORK was a privilege. there would be no leniency regardless of my polite nature and explanation and apology. so anyway I tried fighting it by hiring a NY traffic attorney and eventually got it dismissed. I don't even know why!
