Holy mother of Christ, how tf is this even possible:

New York State plate #LCM8254 Vehicle: Black 2023 Audi A6 School Zone Speeding Tickets Received in 2024: 563 School Zone Speeding Tickets Received in 2025 To Date: 177 Total Fines Paid / Owed: $46,636.60 / $11,205.63 Borough Where Most Often Speeding: 100% Brooklyn (563 violations) Intersection Where Most Often Speeding: Ocean Pkwy and Ocean Court (70 violations)

Also, they mention having a limiter to prevent speeds exceeding 5mph over…I have my adaptive cruise set that way, I’d love to have that as a general option also. I haven’t gotten any tickets but I have caught myself going a bit fast at times, having an automatic limiter would be convenient.

How do you get this many tickets and not be arrested?
Show threadBarneyPiccoloMar 6
Or keep your license. You get enough points in my state, and they just take your license. It’s not that high either, only like 20 points, and lots of violations are 2 or 3 points. You fuck up a few times in a 3 year period, and you’re walking.

The fact they can afford 46k in tickets tells you exactly why.

My vehicle has an option in it’s cruise control settings to automatically adapt to speed limit changes

I have mine set to do that also. I really like it. I have to take several eight hour drives a year and it’s surprising how much less exhausting it is when I get back home after having a car with those adaptive cruise and lane assist features.

Mine is a Ford, I have it turned off because I’d probably get rear-ended if I actually adapted to the speed limit changes here (401 corridor, Ontario). But, watching the speed limit indicator in the cluster, it’s quite accurate as long as speed limit signs arent obstructed.

I do use the adaptive cruise with lane keeping and follow distance enabled on the highway, it’s super convenient in heavy traffic.

Those have a tendency to suck ass on VW group cars, like Audi. They read the wrong signs all the time and keep changing the speed setting to incorrect numbers. Can be super annoying and I don’t blame anyone for not using it.

How tf do you average more than one school zone speeding ticket a day?
