My $1,000.00 dollar fine 2 night
So as I merged on to US 1 tonight on my Kawi out side of New Smyrna/Titusville I gave it a lil to much gas to get up with the traffic and sure enough I got pulled over and hit with a fat ass ticket.. I was unaware of the last years laws until to night. This thread might be a repost but I just wanted 2 share my story due to I feel like i really screwed myself... 
Also Maybe a bike law sticky?? Or the info some place maybe I missed it??
Effective October 1, 2008, HB 137 revises the traffic laws to create a few more penalties. This short bill was particularly focused on unsafe motorcycle activities, but it does include a provision for excessive speed. The new law also provides penalties for the first, second, third or subsequent violations. The Distribution Chart found on the FACC website will be updated to reflect the amounts for the first and second offenses in the Traffic section. The third and subsequent offense is classified as a third degree felony with a $5,000 fine and will appear in the Criminal Traffic section of the chart.
New Violations:
316.2085(2) Motorcycle or moped, wheels losing contact with ground

Yeah, I know plus 50 to merge is a lil much.... I came out of a cork screw loop to merge on US 1 and a semi truck was coming up on me in the merge lane so figured a lil speed would help out but I'm an idiot and I gave it a lil to much speed....

this was all discussed earlier in the other thread..but yes to me i think it would be more of a reason to run and will lead to more accidents as people find out about it..its a ridiculous fine..1000$ just too much..its either get that or run ...most people are going to choose option two unless traffic just doesnt permit
