GTAIV Saved me $175...

Driving home from my Ap exam at school today im driving a little over the speed limit when im less then a mile form home a man jumps into the road about 300 feet in front of me and tells me to pull over. FUCK ITS A COP! I pull over immediately i hand him my license and registration and tell him Im sorry I was driving home from AP exams im a senior in high school. He says ok how old are you buddy, my reply 18, Alright thats a $255 ticket, wait is that the walkthrough book for GTAIV? "Yes great game isnt it" we begin to talk about it and he says no worries bud its an 80 dollar ticket leme go ring you up...We spoke about it for 10 more min after he gave me the ticket and he was like alright bro I dont blame you for speeding after playing that game, especially in a bimmer, looks good he then says alright well keep your speed down and maybe ill race you online in GTAIV.

Sucks about the ticket but after being made fun of about having the book (which ebgames forced me to get if i wanted the game on launch day) by my school security guard...im happy I have it. Hopefully I can get the points expunged and just pay the 80 bucks?

Wait, so your school security guard can ticket you for speeding?

Edit: nevermind, I read it too fast.

That sucks. Perhaps being 6 MPH over makes it only $80.
