Oops! Anyone Beat A Cell Phone Ticket Yet?
So i got stopped. He told me he stopped me because "you were squealing your tires back there, and then you were talking on your phone." I replied with a smirk that its a cadillac, i cant squeal the tires. Then he said "are you saying you werent talking on the phone? And i hesitated and just said "im not saying anything.
He walked away and came back with the ticket. $155.
Ive heard that it can go up if i take it to court? As high as $400 but as low as $60.
My phone was in the console by the time he got to the car. Probably means squat, but he didnt ask for it or anything. Just told me to drive safe and went on his way.
I thought about just bargaining with it; go in and say i have a blue tooth device but the iphone is screwed lately and it doesnt work any more. Put on a sob story and ask for reduced fine.
Are insurence companies milking these tickets?
