This was in Upstate NY last week and I pulled out, turning left, from a side road onto a low volume but high speed two lane. There was a car way down the road to my right and after stopping, checking both ways, accelerated briskly onto the highway. The guy behind me was gaining quickly so I got it up past the speed limit before I started my coast down to cruising speed. It was a cop and he bagged me doing 71 in a 55.
Not sure if I should hire an attorney of just pay it. I don't give a shit about the fine only my insurance.

It's easy to fight a speeding ticket, just hire a lawyer and have them handle it. Last time I had to fake that my speedo had stopped working. Blow the fuse that powers it, get a receipt from a shop showing that you got it fixed. So my infraction got reduced from speeding to improper equipment.
I would just apply for a deferred adjudiication if you have no other tickets in that state.
You still have to pay the fine, but it is immediately removed from your driving record!
The state of NY may not allow it if you are from out of state! But, I would check it out.

I lived there between 1986-1997. Syracuse and surrounding area. It's the eastern-most mid-west city, very laid back attitudes. I loved it up there. Lived on two acres in the country and it was so quiet that you could hear the groundwater in the spring after the snow had melted. Met lots of nice folks up there and are still in contact with many of them.
We used to Nordic ski out my back yard and through my south neighbor's corn field. I had plans to build a rope tow from my barn, down through my west neighbors' back yards, powered by my '56 International tractor to make a 1500' ski run.
I had a '69 F100 winter rat that I loved driving in the snow. I had a granite slab from an old toilet stall in the back for weight; with studded snow tires it was unstoppable.
I also had a 10HP track drive snow thrower that would eat a 24" snowfall in 45 minutes. I needed it because the snow drifted constantly, and many days durint the long wither I had to use it twice. Once to get out to work and a second time to get back in after work and shopping.
Heated the place with wood on a Vermont Castings top-loader. Oil heat was our backup.
Had a 30x40 machinery barn that I heated with an old oil furnace and burned waste oil in it. I had my '66 Mustang, '64 TBird, my tractor and whatever summer car was in there during the winter. Once/ month I'd host a 25-cent poker game there and we had a bucket of snow to keep the beer cold and pissed in the compost pile behind the barn.
Had a one-night-per-week season pass at Toggenberg mountain, 20 minutes down the road. Cost $40 back then. I used to go with a friend and we'd put on layers of clothes and still freeze our asses off on the chairlift, ten below and 30 mile/ hour wind.
Great times.
