It's all good... Were all adults.

 

 

The CHP does not pay their officers to send in written letters of explanation but they do get paid to go to court. Just a little FYI. So I'd advise fighting it via snail mail.

 

Yes sir!!

 

Court or WD, CHP officers by policy have to take action. Just pay your fines and move on.

Were you cited for 22350 or 22349(a)?

 

Why would you need to pass this guy? If you moved over right to get up to 75 to pass said car why didn't you just stay in the right lane since no one was in that lane. In all honesty though you have no reason to be in left lane unless you are passing. You did wrong own up to it and pay your fines and do traffic school because you don't have a leg to stand on.

 

Gibz, as much as that's wise advice, the OP wants to avoid taking responsibility for his decision/actions. It's the way society has taught the younger generation - nothing is their fault, everyone else is wrong, and to avoid personal responsibility. Let's try to blame the officer who was doing his job, because he's supposed to have a neon sign over his car giving away his location, then never issue a ticket - heaven forbid...

...and we won't go into what the momma (of "baggy pants" football guy) was saying on TV, giving all those excuses why her poor little innocent son was picked on and how he was emotionally distraught over a funeral...

Really? Where's the taking responsibility there?

Yeah. /rant

 

Yeah I usually stay out of these thread but seems like lately so many are "I got this ticket or that ticket how can I fight it yada yada" I have 20 yrs driving experience and only one ticket when I was 19 I paid it no biggy I was in the wromg.. It was only 60 bucks back then and in a different state. Which no matter what you were not allowed traffic school the ticket goes on your record and insurance for 5 or so years depending on what it was. We didn't have a point system it just sat there till years went by and if you are stupid to do over and over again they would suspend your DL. Pretty much hit the nail on the head as we are from a different generation. Gotta pay to play!

 

Thats actually something good to know.

 

So what has your generation thought you? To throw weights out the car? Chill out. I don't know you or you know me. I dint talk **** to you or even say anything about your previous child like comments. Grow yourself up and don't TRY and lecture one and of you supirior. I'm a grown man myself kist like everyone else one here... Married, daughter, house bahh bahh ... You talk as if your so old and have been through it all... Shot I probably have more responsibilities than you... Probably still live at your moms and just wrk to take car of yourself.... Move on and stop talking down on peolple as of your so damm fkn cool lol

 

Gibz it would be a good idea if you read the entire thread to be able to understand why happend... If you just don't agree with me then that's just another thing. Your entitled tO your opinion.. Back track my pOst and see why I sped up 10 mph after I switched lanes... And it wasn't to pass the Saturn.... And I was in the fast lane going 65 mph wich is speed limit why should I go over? Even though I wasn't the one holding traffic up(Saturn was)... Is it my fault the car in the slow lane is going just as fast? Should I speed ip everytime the slow lane does even if it's over the posted speed limit? Back track why the chp officer on here posted...

 

Really? This high horse garbage, coming from you, after saying you should keep 2 oz weights to throw out of your car? I'd love for you to answer your own question.

 

It's not that I don't want to take responsibility for my action, I already stated that I did sPeed up... Yet i have a reason why. I the law allows me to be able to explain myself to a judge weather it's in court or through a written letter, why shouldn't I do it? If there's a posability that my fee can get waived ( because the judge thinks it should) why not try? Why just take the ticket and pay without trying? I wasn't speeding like crazy nor the whole drive to wrk... It was that little moment to allow the truck to pass and then move back to the slow lane... If anything I did him a favor ( something the fast lane driver wasn't doing) ..... I'm over this it useless to try and explain things to certain people..

 

Unit91 told him best ... That all.
