[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]? I always my tickets, regardless of the state. It's called being a decent human.

Do what's right, OP. [/quote]

Oh please. Thinking this is about right and wrong is as silly as OP thinking anyone anywhere will care about her protest. [/quote]

DP. I mean, OP shouldn't have exceeded the speed limit in the first place. In Maryland, you only get a citation if you were going 12 mph or more over the speed limit. That's speeding by a lot, which is dangerous. Not driving dangerously is part of being a decent human being, in my opinion.

Given that OP was driving dangerously, and received a ticket for it, the responsible thing is for OP to pay the ticket (and be grateful that nothing worse happened).[/quote]
Has it changed? It used to be 11 mph over the limit earned you a ticket…except the cameras weren’t always calibrated correctly and sometimes people got tickets without going that much over the limit. [/quote]

It's at least 12 mph over the limit, see MD. Transportation Code § 21-809(8). The reasoning (such as it is) is: you're not really speeding unless you're at least 10 mph over the speed limit, plus another 1 mph for camera calibration, so at least 12 mph over.[/quote]
