A tractor trailer traveling at high speeds is quite a threat to all motorist around, while an accord going the same speed is less threatening to other motorist. Can be the exact same driver or kind of driver between the two cars, in the case I personally had an suv, I would be much more accepting of a ticket in the suv under same conditions and unlawful driving then doing the same in the boxster. However, either way, I am pretty excepting that the law is the law and under no circumstance are you entitled a warning or reduction, however, I would be more expecting of a ticket in the case I was driving an SUV.

Your credibility will rise, once you grasp some basics. Also, you use too many qualifiers.

Out of curiosity, what and from whom do you hear things?

Word on the forum, at car meets, and from a man with personal experience of being stopped multiple times in a Lamborghini and only ticketed when he had an offense other than speeding.

Wow. This thread kinda exploded. For the people concerned with me doing 50 for half a block in a residential area, it wasn't a residential area. For the people concerned with me calling a cop a jerk because I got a ticket, he wasn't a jerk because I got a ticket. He was a jerk for giving me an excuse as to why he had to give me a ticket. If I deserve a ticket, give me a ticket and I'll accept it with a smile on my face and a, "Thank you officer and have a safe day." But maybe that's just me.

Now carry on. I want to hear more about this Intrepid, towing the mattresses.

I was wondering if this was the case and if it was, when it was going to come out.

Everyone assumed the worst, and no one even asked for clarification before blasting the OP.

Just sayin'..........

The OP set it up by stating he was pulled over in front of his house and it was a 30 zone. Unfortunately, those two combined tend to imply 'residential zone'. Besides....it's still 20 MPH over the limit, which is pretty fast in a non-residential residential zone.
