Paxil:

I can't imagine trying to fight something that I know I did wrong. Point blank... I don't get it. Whether you can succeed or not is irrelivent. It seems no one wants to take personal responsibility for their actions anymore. Everyone wants to sue someone or fight it out in court.

Because it's all a big scam.

In recent years, some insurance companies donated $20,000,000 (twenty million dollars) to police departments in the form of new laser and radar guns. Other insurance companies donated large amounts as well.

Insurance companies know that your chance of an accident do not dramatically go up because of a speeding ticket. As a matter of fact the ratio to accident increase is only 4% for someone having three tickets in a three year period; however if you get three tickets in a three year period your rates will double at the very least and more likely triple. For a 4% increase in risk they increase your premium by 100% to 200%. They do this because they can. They can because you as a consumer don't know the scam.

The reason they donate radar and laser guns to police department is not because they are trying to save lives. They want the amount of tickets issued to increase. If the amount of speeding tickets increases their ability to raise your rates increases dramatically, fattening their bottom line big time.

They are in business to make money. If you are a bad driver they don't want you at any cost. If you are a good driver they want to get more money from you if they can. To do this they have adjustments for your rate according to the amount of tickets you get knowing that their risk does not significantly increase.

Then there's the amount in fines that the state squeezes out of you. No quotas? Yeah, right!

It's not about saving lives. Studies have shown that traffic will move at a rate of speed that's comfortable to the majority of the drivers and to artificially lower that speed in the form of a reduced speed limit actually increases the odds of accidents happining.

In a country that has a fewer amount of automobiles on the road this works, take the autobahn in Germany for example. However, our streets in the US are too congested and this speed limit tries to give the drivers the time to stop when spacing between cars is less than 30% of what it should be.

It is about saving lives, blaming an insurance company is just a smoke screen. I've seen too many mangled bodies from someone who thought the speed limit didnt apply to them.

BlckMgk: No question about it, you were in the wrong. You got caught, You were given a brake. The idea that you should still try weasle out of it, is far worse IMHO than the speeding itself.
