Way to go. Nice to avoid the points on your record.

It was that darn cruise control option!

I just got through spending this past Saturday morning at defensive driving school to have a ticket negated. I wish I would have known about that for my previous 43 moving violations.

First off Stingray, good job wheeling and dealing! Tell me, what was your opening statement to the cop when you first approached him about the ticket? I need to write this down for future reference!

I told him I couldn't afford points on my license since I drive for a living. I have a friend who dates a cop and she told me to ask for 5 mph over with no points. All they want is your money. I heard him offer the same thing to a girl right after me. This speeds up the court process..The judge did about 5 of us in 5 minutes..I spent more time waiting to pay the fine than I did in court!! If you arrive to court early the cop is always there early so that's when you approach him. He was wheeling and dealing with everyone after I left as well...
