I Got a ticket

Yesterday while i had barely pulled out of school, I got pulled over by a cop! It was the first time that I have been stopped by a cop, and I didnt get nervous. Well I take that back, I panicked cuz i did not have my license or my insurance card with me and i was afraid that the officer was going to get mad at me. He didnt, I told him i had a license and he checked and sure enough i had it, and as for my insurance, my dad had barely taken out my registration sticker last friday so that didnt matter.

What got me pissed was that he pulled me over for supposably speeding! I was not speeding! I had barely pulled out of the freaking parking lot from school when he turned on the lights on me. And lets say that i was speeding (which i wasnt) I would of had more common sense if i was speeding to slow down when i saw him. But I wasnt speeding, i was going 30 and he claims that i was going 37 on a school zone of 25. The lights where not flashing! It was 1 in the afternoon and the sign clearly says "Speed limit 25 when lights are flashing" and then in small letters "6:15-9:15 - 2:25- 4:15" or something like that.

I was so pissed and i started crying after that cuz 1) i had been stopped by a cop for the first time 2) i got a ticket and 3) i was scared that my parents were going to get mad at me. I got home and i called my mom and she didnt get mad, neither did my dad. I'm still mad, and i wasnt going to stay like that. My little brother and me checked it out again to see if my car could possibly pick up to at least 40 right when i pull out of the parking lot from school. It doesnt. It barely picks up to 30 even if i floor my car. Yeah, my car is pathethic, hehe, but i now for a fact that I, Diana G. Olvera, was not speeding!

I think you should fight it, the ticket that is. It sounds like you have a reasonable excuse to why you don't deserve that ticket on your record. Maybe they'll let you off with community service or something without the ticket going on your record. You can take defensive driving online or by checking out a video for free at Blockbuster. After watching the video all you have to do is make a phone call and take a small quiz over the phone.

If I were you, I'd try something to get it excused. Because if not, insurance goes up and the ticket stays on your record.
