You'd have been done for 3 points for speeding, 3 points for no seatbelt, and probably incurred a fine of 60 sheets for each.

6 points on your licence would have meant a significant hike in your insurance costs.

New You dont have to tell me
I was doing mental calculations of how much this was going to cost me. The seatbelt alone is $65. Going 15 miles over the speed limit- steep fine and points. No license/registration- $180, IIRC.

Next time I'll buckle up and have my wallet.

We have a small police force here. This was the same officer who responded a couple yrs ago when I thought my ex had drank himself to death and I needed help getting in his apartment. Since this was my 3rd encounter with him, I think he recognized me.
     I got pulled over this morning for speeding. - (bionerd) - (24) - July 12, 2006, 11:12:33 AM EDT
