How do you rationalize a speeding ticket?

I wouldn't bother trying to rationalize it. Actually that statement is advice, I would probably try to justify myself for awhile first. Then when the sting of the ticket wore off a little I would shrug, admit I screwed up and move on.

I don't think one can really rationalize it. Though I suppose that you getting caught was just a way to say "be careful, you could very well be killed next time." There are speed limits for a reason.. That being said, as you know I don't drive much. I don't have a car nor a license (though I do have my permit). I remember going down this one highway (country highway) and not even wanting to go the speed limit, it was my first time really driving and I was scared. Though a few times after that, I went FASTER then the speed limit, just wanting to get home... Yeah Yeah, I know I shouldn't have.. Would you like to know what the speed limit was? I believe ti was 55 MPH and I was going 60 MPH, or it was 60 MPH and I was going 65! I forget which, either way... I am impatient too and would most likely speed as well.

Thankfully I have never gotten a speeding ticket. If I got one I would be really mad at myself becuse it is such a waste of money. I try to never go more then 5 miles over the speed limit. Sometimes when I am really in a rush I do go more then that. I wouldnt try to ratiomalize it though I would just say well it was my fault for speeding and pay the fine.

My rationalization is that the speed is ridiculous for the area I got one once in the morning on the way to work. The speed limit on this particular highway is very low when compared to like areas. I think it's a speed trap There is usually very little traffic on my way in..barely a soul. Maybe that is why I got his attention.

Stop trying to rationalize. We all know you were going faster than 10 miles over the limit to get a $206 ticket, unless it was in a school zone or something equally dangerous. Being caught speeding just teaches you to be more considerate of others next time. If you're careful when the kids are in the car, you should use that same caution when alone, other people have their kids in their cars.

I would be lying if I said I never speed while I drive lol. For the most part I try not to go past driving 5 mph over the limit. Sometimes I catch myself going a little more than that and I slow down when I realize I'm doing it. It just doesn't feel like I'm going that fast in my car and sometimes I speed without even knowing it. So far I haven't been caught and hopefully I won't. I should be good as long as I don't go more than 5 over lol

It happened to me one time. I had to pay th same amount as you .
