Screwed. Just kidding, it's not quite that dramatic!

I got a speeding ticket. sweatdrop
It was 15 minutes after midnight, and I got caught driving 86 on a 50 mph road.

I'm anticipating a $400 fine.

Is this even worth contesting?

Edit: && how much do you think my insurance will raise?! This is what I'm most concerned about!

Yikes... careful not to drive that fast in the future...

If you do, tell them you're speeding because you need to go to the washroom. x.x

Yikes... quite a hefty fine if it does go through.
That is quite fast, 36 mph over the speed limit.
Don't think you'll get much from contesting it, or a simple warning from the cops...  

[sunnyxdaze]

I'm quite the fast driver.. I don't know. 80 mph is like, perfect for my car.
I don't think it hurts to contest. I'll pay the ticket for sure, I'm just hoping my insurance increase will be waved.. especially since it's my first offense.

But I'm not sure! I'll have to ask someone who's gotten a ticket before.

Thanks, guys! Haha, the part I was afraid of was telling my mom..

She's only slightly disappointed, which I'm grateful for. She then told me her first ticket was an 80 in a 30 . . .

Have any of you gotten a ticket before?!

Nuh-uh.

[Encarton]

Nope I haven't.
And that is good news then.  

[Hunter Rush]

That's funny.
I haven't had a ticket before, since I've only driven twice and I only have a permit... But my friend has gotten a ticket. Made me laugh.
And contesting it that far over won't do any good.  

[La La Leprosy]

D; that's awful!
i've never gotten a ticket before, and i hope i never do.
the cops around here are kind of jerky >_>;
and i don't think i'd be able to get around it.

as for contesting it, unless you have a really really good story, idk how far it'll get =/
 

[Encarton]

Hmm... if I were to get a ticket around here...
I'd probably get off with just a warning (unless I was going 100 mph down a 25 mph road or something xD )

There is a town next door however that has a big speed trap at their town center (which people tend to go to to get to a town where a mall is and such). Goes from 35 to 25 in one direction, and 40 to 25 in the other. That and there is a hill. Usually a copper watching the road somewhere...
