Fuck man, I just went outside and check my mail, and I found 3 speeding ticket in the mail. All three of them are in the District. If you ever got a speeding ticket there before, then you know that is some serious dough. Each ticket is $150 a piece son. A couple of days a go, I got one in Nova for $200. Basically, I am paying $650 in speeding tickets, and its just the beginning of the month.

Yes, this does relate to the hobby. Because, all of my tickets is because I was dashing towards the providers incall. I mean, I got tickets before, but this is just ridiculous.

DO NOT SPEED in DC or NOVA!!!! They will bust your ass with tickets and cameras!!! Well, there goes my hobby money for the fucking month man. FUCK!!

BTW, I have made a conscious decision to not use my current car anymore. I am driving my 1996 toyota Camry again. I don't care how others view me, I just can't keep paying these ridiculous fines.

giving yourself enough time for the appointment. For the same reason I prefer having incall appointments on weekends. Not much traffic and I am not rushing after work.  Also, have you considered parking at one of the Metro stations in Va or Md and taking Metro to downtown?

I tend to avoid public transportation because there are some weirdos on there. These day, I just cannot find the time anymore to do anything. And, everything is just rush rush rush.

Damn, I wish those agencies came back, I missed one of them. It use to be so convenient for me. I just need to drive slow and not give a fuck what others think anymore. Let me take my time. One of my biggest pet peeve is, some mother fucker always tailgate me, then I gotta speed up. We all have that happened to us before. I'm just sticking to my old car, that car never gets me into trouble.

when they pop your license? You say you get speeding tickets "all the time". You can't keep getting tickets and not expect to suffer some consequences.

PS- Are you a teenager?

Seems like everytime I ride the subway, I end with a nut job talking to himself sitting next to me when there are dozens of other seats. Or a gang of teen thugs who I would shoot down in an instant if I had my piece on me!

I take the metro into D.C 3 times a week. I've never encountered any "crazy" people, and actually I'm able to read my Kindle and relax. Perhaps it's the time you catch the train. I don't drive to the city unless I absolutely have to. I've saved so much time and gas money to go back to the bumper to bumper kayos.
Just my 2 cents.

Your speeding story reminds me of a joke:

Two bulls, a young one and an old one, were standing on a hill overlooking a pasture full of cows. The young bull eagerly said to the old bull "Hey, let's run down there and fuck ourselves a cow. The old bull laughged and calmly replies "Let's walk down, and fuck'em all".

Think about it.

I will pick you up and drop you off and you pay me $50 per ride. LOL.

I've no clue why people are so shy of taking public transport. I would rather park at East Falls Church and take Metro downtown.

I say you should contact the providers you were going to see and tell them what happened. the way I look at it, it is their fault.. they gave you a hard on so the big head did not have enough blood in it to realize you were doing something illegal.

Apparently that lack of blood in the big head continued throughout the session with them as you continued to brake the law!

see the logic works

so I say ask them to give you back your money in the form of cash or extra time! that is the deal to be made!

obeying the law & slowing down?  If you make an appointment, plan your time so you can be on time without undue haste.  
I am a pedestrian in downtown DC several days a week & the wanton disregard for traffic laws never ceases to amaze me.  I cross Independence Ave, near rhe Mall frequently & the speeding is really bad.  Many people don't realize it, but in DC, unless otherwise posted, the speed limit is always 25.  I'd estimate the average speed on Independence Ave. is at least 50.  And I see red light running several times a week as well; I now am very careful crossing when I have a pedestrian crossing or green light, those are no guarentee you won't meet an untimely end at the hands of someone who wants to rush down to stop at the next ntersection!
Finally, as someone who also rides the metro several times a week, I would resent your characterization of the ridership as 'crazy people' if I thought you were the slightest bit serious.  But I think this is just your excuse to avoid the inconvenience you perceive.
Last word, don't ever think of moving to Japan or any European big city, if you don't ride public transportation there you are truly deranged.

Thats the best part of riding the metro rail. I love people watching. You would be amazed at the conversations you hear in 20 different freakin' languages and people talking on their cell phones like they are the only ones around...and then they are trying to finish the conversation real fast because they are getting ready to go into a tunnel...LOL!

You heard that congress women [?, here in Maryland] recently that went 102 MPH, tell her to slow down. They didn't even give that women a ticket because of her position.

You ever get that feeling that the money you work for just goes down the drain? I am beginning to feel that way. 12 hours a day for two days, that's how much it's gonna take me just to pay those fucking tickets.

Everyone speeds and get busted. It's not exclusive to teenagers, adults speed too. I just have to learn the hard way, and I just had enough with speeding tickets.

Even when I don't want to speed, there are some cameras in DC that are designed unfairly for speeding tickets. There are some groups that are trying to take those cameras away because some of those roads are designed for speeding, and it is unfair for all of us. Anyways, best thing I can do now is drive like grandma.

some roads were designed for speeding, and it's unjustifiable to put those cameras there. You better watch out though, those fines are $150 a piece, and $300 if you go over the limit by 20 MPH. In Virginia, it's $200, and if you go over by 20 MPH, it's $400.

Someone produced a thread recently that showed all of the speeding cameras in DC. If you google it, you will find it. There are just way too many cameras around DC. You can't drive comfortable, they got red light cameras and stationary speed cameras. They even have temporary cameras in vans and in poles. That's how DC makes it's money. They make millions a year on speeding tickets, and some places are unjustifiable.

Drive slow, even when your on the highway in DC. As soon as you think no one is watching, there's a flash in your rear view mirror. Don't end up like me, paying money for crazy reasons. Some people can actually go bankrupt, starve, cannot pay their bills, and other financial dilemmas if they had to pay the fine I had to pay.

Something about that is wrong IMO. A person shouldn't have to starve from paying a speeding ticket.

video. I also experience these similar situations in public transit.

As for your comment about other cultures as it relates to public transit, I do have experience. However, the people there and their cultures are more "nicer" if you know what I mean. They have more manners down there, not like it is here in DC. Believe, there are some crazy fuckers on the train, and I cannot expose myself to that kind of environment.

It's not like I purposely break the law. Most of the times, I do not even realize that I am speeding. I guess it is time to start realizing that because I had it up to here with the speeding tickets.

I have used the metro numerous times. If you go during the daytime, its just mostly commuters
now at night, the dynamics change. I try not to ride the metro at night if I can help it. Plus if I am carrying large amounts of cash, I tend to feel like a target!

And does the Camry have a governor in it? Lol! BTW, I know the feeling I have a major lead-foot...I used to drive from College Park to Tysons...in 18 minutes flat!

While that won't stop the assholes who purposely ignore you, it should be a simple human act for many people that might get them to pay attention and realize that you aren't just a "hazard" on their personal D.C. obstacle course of a drive.

I might have skim through your ads on the discussion ad board, but I don't remember seeing you advertise. I might be wrong.

If you accept PM's, then I would like to PM you for a future appointment. Thanks!
