Glenn Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 dth- that royally sucks. Hopefully it all works out. Where'd ya get the ticket? Yeah, this is my 3rd in 4 years. Got it about 2 miles from my house on the way back from a dentist appt. It's a road I rarely travel, and I just wanted to get back home and take a nap. Didn't realize how fast I was going. I haven't decided if I'm going to fight it yet. If I can't keep my rates from going up I don't see the point in lowering the fine. At least with the paperwork it will be a about a year till the insurance rates change, so I can start to save up. ... you'd think I would learn. The officer gave me the ticket and goes "Since you've recieved a few of these before I'm sure you know what to do." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metz the Jersey boy Posted December 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Take it to court, try and get it amended. I know in jersey we have a ticket that you can take instead of speeding that is no points, but like a 180 dollar fine... its cheaper in the long run since there's no insurance problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Take it to court, try and get it amended. I know in jersey we have a ticket that you can take instead of speeding that is no points, but like a 180 dollar fine... its cheaper in the long run since there's no insurance problem I did this with the last ticket I had. Would have been 3 points, but they dropped it to a 5 mpg over. I'm not sure if it gave me points, but since it was 2 speeding infractions within a 3 year period my insuracne went up. Apparently the best is to shoot for a "failure to observe traffic markings" which is no points and a lesser fine. Since it's not the same as a speeding violation I don't think my insurance will go up again, but I'm not postitive. Apprently everything gets reported even if there are no points issued. The last time I went to court it was a huge hassle though. I'll be paying for years if they do jack my rates, but the cop was pretty pissed and I'm not sure he's going to want to cut me some slack. Really it comes down to how much do I dislike the stress associated with the court process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonked Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 When I was stayin at my ex's house for a few days in new jersey over the summer, he got pulled over for speeding. I was scared because i was falling asleep since it was 3 AM. $110 fine and some points. Needless to say he was p-i-s-s-e-d. It was a very quiet ride home from there first time I've ever been pulled over. Thank god I wasn't driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metz the Jersey boy Posted December 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Haha, dominant, I knew someone would get a bit curious as to what is going on with all of this. I did not want to commit to this too early, but hopefully it will draw some people in. As of right now, the two prizes are a $50 gift card to Pelican Ski Shop and a lift ticket that is good at any of the following mountains: Jay Peak, Smuggler's Notch, Sugarbush, Gore, Greek Peak, Loon, Mountain Creek, Bromley, Shawnee, Blue, Alpine, Hidden Valley, Sugarloaf, or Hunter. There are pelican ski shops in Whitehouse, Morris Plains, and East Brunswick New Jersey, as well as Quakertown and Pottsville PA That blow your hair back enough?

Metz the Jersey boy Posted December 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 LOL, at least I know dominant will be there. Hope those prizes are up to par for ya. And yes, this contest is only for PASR people, so if your friends want in, tell them to sign online here. I know that the 15th is a holiday weekend, and I'm sorry we're going up on a day that will be so packed, but there is a dual purpose to that day. We're also going up to support nipples in his competition and that is a lot of what this site is about: Getting behind each other, supporting the scene, and pushing each other to a higher level of skiing/riding. If anyone else has any ideas about this PASR day, post them of PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papasteeze Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 I was there a million moons ago. I have been wanting to go back to form my own opinion of the place, plus give nipples a chance to sample the park.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metz the Jersey boy Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Creek is a pretty great mountain when you think that its in jersey.... don't know the vert off hand but its got to be close to blue and montage, if not bigger. Doug, trust me, there will be some nice sized moguls up there just calling your name. The parks are the big thing at Creek. Yes, I just did say parks with an "s" on the end. They've got a few. Talk to dominant about that, though. If you're serious about the park, you better head on over to Creek. Might change your mind about Jersey completely if The Sopranos hasn't already. Its good skiing, considering you're in the armpit of america... We'll apologize for seaside heights being sleazy. We'll apologize for not having to pump our own gas. We'll apologize for burying jimmy hoffa under giants stadium. We'll even apologize for all the people that died or got severely injured at Action Park. We won't apologize for Mountain Creek, though. Its OUR mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevePSSC Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 So are there going to be alot of people hitting up Mountain Creek? Whose been there before? well i think you're more into the nice black and double black runs.. not sure about that but if ya wanna know about their park.. well haha lets just say almost all of Vernon Peak is terrain parkS.. from top to bottom.. the nicest rails.. of all the mountains ive been to Mt Creek has the niceest rails by far, they make them theirselves and everything is sick haha.. you can catch a bad day or two at creek when its icy and really busy but thats why i head up tuesday and thursday mornings.. but anyways park wise mt creek has the best park around here unless your headin north to stratton or what not. Camelback is my home mountain.. but Creek is now where i ride all the time haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metz the Jersey boy Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Another update on the status of PASR day- Talked to Jose at Pelican Ski Shop today, and he was so enthused about what PASR is doing that it looks like they're going above and beyond donating some prizes and what not. Look for some sweet stuff to be appearing. Lift Tickets, gift cards, who knows what he'll do. Also, I'm still talking with the Mountain Creek people. We should be getting a discount. Even if its a small one, its still a discount. I'm getting souped up for it, and I know a few other people are as well. Hopefully it'll be a huge turnout. Nothing like seeing a group of 30 people tearing it up on the slopes together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
