The Whammy is a new word for me, but I'll remember it for sure. Just the other day we saw some when going to the store and thought they must be counting the number of cars using that particular highway. Guess I guessed wrong. I've had two tickets, neither for speed. I always try to keep to the limit because tickets aren't in my budget. The ones I had were for accidents, they can happen to anyone and when you least expect them too. I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-73686832052355733952015-07-09T03:48:11.754-04:002015-07-09T03:48:11.754-04:00Boy are you right.

(I loathe using the word, ‘victim’, but in this case the shoe fits.) <br /><br />Yes! I see those black rubber hoses all the time, and wondered if they weren’t put there to monitor speed. But never a sign of the ‘fuzz.’ (Remember that?)<br /><br />I’m pretty sure most of your readers can relate on some level or another. But I’m sure curious if you ever heard back from the Governor? <br />Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-59485831927939345492015-07-08T21:34:37.890-04:002015-07-08T21:34:37.890-04:00Most of the tickets I've received in my life w...Most of the tickets I've received in my life were deserved....actually they all were,but like you, I think they should do it above the board.<br />RRick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-75487182939772408672015-07-08T19:37:48.030-04:002015-07-08T19:37:48.030-04:00We were headed back to Maryland and had a Car TV n...We were headed back to Maryland and had a Car TV not on. We got stop because headlight was making it look like it was on. I had just cut it off because I spotted him up the road. He let us go. I have never<br />had a ticket. I was stop here and I told him I was new and didn't<br />know the speed limit and he let me go and said just watch your speed.<br />I have been lucky.shirl72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268124369207064149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-42134817762071819432015-07-08T16:41:46.806-04:002015-07-08T16:41:46.806-04:00Never heard of the whammy, but it seemed like it c...Never heard of the whammy, but it seemed like it could be effective for a speed trap. Like I mentioned before, we used to live on a very popular speed trap street. During one four hour stretch when the police were working it, they wrote about 70 speeding tickets and had several cars towed. It was hilarious to watch sometimes with how many police cars would be there and how many cars pulled over. Almost like a parking lot sometimes. When I would be driving home and would go up the hill that people were supposed to slow down for, but hardly did, I would go the speed limit. I would have people riding my bumper, I wanted to scream out that I was saving them a ticket if the police were working there, but some just didn't learn.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-11264415002675726842015-07-08T11:48:24.304-04:002015-07-08T11:48:24.304-04:00In my younger days, I got several speeding tickets...In my younger days, I got several speeding tickets, I even got a seatbelt ticket. It did me no good that my brother was(is)a city police officer. I think I was picked on more. I have been pulled (no ticket) for things such as blowing my horn, loud music, going to slow..Yes going to slow talking into the other car beside me. I recently got pulled over by cop coming the other way and met me window to window. She fussed at me for not stopping at a stop sign which I DID stop at and she clearing couldn't see it from where she was coming from anyway. NOT GUILTY on that one. Made me a grouch all day. Oh well. It happens and Id have to get a moped if my insurance goes up any higher. lol.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109633602729593188noreply@blogger.com
