The Burlington VT meet was "Ticket City" -- I got one in Indiana on my way there. Cost me 165.00 for a "Pre-Trial Diversion" (basically legal bribery). You pay your 165.00 and they don't report the ticket to insurance and you don't lose points. If you get a ticket within the next year, in the same county, you lose the 165.00, you pay the original (in my case) 100.00 ticket and get the points, plus, you pay the ticket that you just received and get the points. What a racket!!!
"Montypython's" wife, got a ticket (her first) on the way to Burlington and Brian, you got one. That was a ticket fest.
I've posted this before, but, in my first 30 years of driving, before the SVX, I had gotten two warnings and two tickets. Since I've had the SVX (only 3 years, going on 4) I've equalled all stops to that time -- 2 warnings and two tickets. This is not a good thing.
"But officer, honest, it feels like you're only going 55 when you're going 80 in this car!!!" If we could get 'em to drive it, just one time, they'd let us off every time.
