speeding in florida.

[Stingray01]

My son got pulled in our hire car for doing 89mph. in a 70mph motorway. The copper obviously did'nt go to charm school, took him and his buddy about 20minutes plus to give the citation out, folded with sons documents and sealed in an envelope.When we opened the letter he had put on the ticket doing 99mph, my sons date of birth 10 years out making him 16, spelt his name wrong, date was wrong, car colour was wrong. What a muppet! This was just over a week ago and we have another 3 weeks to send the fine off, $220. have we any comeback on all the mistakes the muppet made. What would you guys do? One good thing came out of it, we bought the Nissan Titon LE.

See you're from florida Matt Harper, then your sure to know that to pay $300 for 5mph over the limit is just not true. the fine is about half of that as stated on the back of the citation. The fine goes up in increments (that means stages) to a maximum of what my son will be paying. Mind you the yanks are known worldwide for doubling everything up are'nt they. Yes the lawman who pulled him over told us that he had the speed at 89mph which would have been less of a fine, then he put 99 on the ticket, taking the pi..s or what? Obviously he took my sons D.O.B from his licence but had it wrong by 10 years. As you will know if you drive there in Florida, the lawmen hide in ditches and whatever camouflage they can find, a bit like in England, but our bobbies soon catch up with you if you are excessive speeding, whereas your lawmen take 10 minutes to catch up. I say give them a car like mine... a C6 corvette. I will be going back again to Daytona as we have a villa there so we'll pay up and look cheerful, would hate to be arrested by your dumb bobbies.

have a nice day.....
