Well I finally got caught. Very stupid on my part. I should have known being on halloween it is the end of the month and cops are lookin to make quota.
So i just got on the on ramp to go to class and put it in 3rd. Never looked down at my speedometer cuz i was just gonna pass everyone on the right then slow down liek i usually do. but there was mr. statetrooper hiding perfectly behind a sign with the way the highway went so i couldnt see him till it was too late. he asked how fast i was going? i said like 80??? he's like "80 huh? u want me to check the radar?" im said ok. he comes back 10 minutes later. "yea 98 and accelerating in a 65. that's reckless driving" that's when i pooped a little. but he goes "this is a summons, basically a ticket on steroids."
i've gotten a summons before for 65 in a 40 and plenty of other tickets in the past but never reckless. i looked up the statute in CT and it says "a fine no less than 100 but not exceeding $300." doesnt say anythign about losing license. but dont insurance companies drop ppl with a reckless driving ticket. he did write 98 on the summons. i doubt he'll show up to court so im pretty sure i'll have to pay the fine but im more worried about losing my license for 3 months or having to tell my parents why we got dropped!!?? i dunno what is gonna happen. the last ticket i got was like when i had the wrx which was in like march 04 or 03? what do you guys think???
