I was lucky the cop was a good one (well, I guess there are some) and wrote 169 on the ticket, so I didn't get arrested. I will have to go to court though.

Are you in the states? If so , and in California, you can opt. for traffic school and get out of the ticket. Other than that....hope the insurance company doesn't find out.

Between the UCLA entrance on Royce drive and Veteran Ave, as some of you know this is a curvy section on sunset and very dangerous.

I was in the left lane and there was a car behind me. The car in the right lane was kinda swerving and what not, so I sped up to get away from that nonsense and that's when I got pulled over.

Then the cop asks me what I was doing, I said I was taking a class at UCLA, then he says "really, what class goes till 9:30p" i inform him it's a night class. Then asks if I had been drinking, I reply "nothing and in fact nothing in the last 4 months, since i'm training for a marathon". Then asks if I was taking any medication.

Bottomline, gives me a ticket and says drive safely. I can see getting the ticket b/c I was speeding to avoid getting hit from the car in the right hand lane, and I couldn't down slow b/c of the car directly behind me.

What is the ticket for? Is it for speeding? If so.. how fast and what was the limit?

How did the officer determine your speed? Radar? Laser?
