Except for NC, the other 48 must have cactus on them! Problem is, the law was created after they manufactured millions of those license plate covers! In some areas, they even give out tickets if your radio is playing at high decible levels. It always amazes me that they can't seem to get the fool who drives past my house at 2 am with the radio so loud, you can hear it through closed doors and windows!<br />Mary in AZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-83091210120648779622013-12-04T14:04:36.317-05:002013-12-04T14:04:36.317-05:00Oh, Bonnie.....so sorry to hear you got a ticket!!...Oh, Bonnie.....so sorry to hear you got a ticket!!!!!

Why don't the state transportation people come down on the manufacturers, instead of the consumers? I'm sure anyone buying them thought they were legal to use --until they found out the hard way as you did. Putting the plate holder on the front doesn't work for everybody either because in some states (like where I live/Wisconsin) we are required to have plates on the front and the back. <br />And setting cruise control doesn't solve your problem when you think the speed limit is faster than it actually is . Mentally you thought you were going the limit. We all just have to remember that these traffic stops are really about keeping us safe, not about being vindictive. Just the same, in the spirit of the season it would have been nice if the trooper had just given you a warning.NeverBoredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17864997245809631313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-28068321300058125562013-12-04T11:19:57.084-05:002013-12-04T11:19:57.084-05:00Oh my, doesn't that tick you of?

I'm thinking someone clever needs to invent a device we can add to our cars to keep us from going too fast...think of the money to be made! I'm in a love hate relationship with our police departments...and to think that the only reason they give these tickets out, yes you were speeding, but these departments receive grant money to sit for x amount of hours to 'patrol' for safety sake. In other words, you paid into having them lie in wait for you to get pulled over...it completely sucks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-59204058539027874532013-12-04T07:58:02.119-05:002013-12-04T07:58:02.119-05:00Seriously? $218 for speeding 10 mph?

That must really hurt!<br />I've been told that here in Sweden (have only moved here 7 months ago) it is common practice to have your drivers licence taken away for a couple of months if you're speeding more than 7 km/h in a 30 km/h zone. That is worse than a speeding ticket, but still... $218?!<br />Going to check out the giveaway, thanks for pointing us in the right direction.Jittinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10883595228671349160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-81003302369409362712013-12-04T07:46:52.259-05:002013-12-04T07:46:52.259-05:00Can't you get a quilter's discount for tha...Can't you get a quilter's discount for that ticket?
