Have you ever contested a speeding ticket?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on July 10, 2005
“No. I never speed, but I know someone who has. I think she ended up paying to get a diversion.”
— Sanna Webb, Kansas University graduate student, Lawrence
“No. I had nothing to contest. They caught me so I just paid. There's no sense in fighting it.”
— Scott Chaussee, grocery stocker, Lawrence
“No. Actually I just paid one I got recently. Although I have heard from people here that it's common to contest tickets of all kinds.”
— Emily Redell, business development coordinator, Lawrence
“Yes. I contested one because the sign was covered with trees and bushes. If they are going to post signs, they need to make sure they're visible to the public.”
— Bev Kiley, social worker, Lawrence
