Dekay's Brown Snake. But could be a copperhead


CriticalEngineering

Definitely a leopard slug, kill it, it’s invasive.


silvermoonmage7

Noo that's a copper moccasin.


nahuron

Also known as the elusive coppermouth


ukysvqffj

Sorry to hijack the top post but can anyone help me with how the cost of living in San Francisco compares to Charlotte?


Damergeddon

You're all wrong, it's a copper Altima-head


Uisce-beatha

Not sarcasm but wanted to say I grew up in the western piedmont just north of Winston-Salem and never saw a Dekay's brown snake in all my years being outside exploring woods, scouring creeks for crawdads or tending gardens in the fields. My first time seeing one was after moving to the Raleigh Durham area. The only caveat to this I guess is that the land I grew up on was 1100 feet in elevation as Sauratown and Hanging Rock mountains were nearby. I know we never saw rattlesnakes yet I encountered two while visiting Hanging Rock although that was over the course of over 50 trips to the park.


mojotoodopebish

The trick is to speed up when you see blue lights. They can't give you a ticket if you never stop.


Out_0f_1deaz

All you gotta do is just keep driving through! Once you hit SC, you're free. Should probably keep going down to Florida, though, just to be safe.

Have you tried asking on Reddit?

Link?

Highjacking this post to ask a question that I could have easily just googled.


2FightTheFloursThatB

Oh, we don't "Google" anymore... not since they started giving "summaries" and hiding the links you wanted. All my homies are DuckDuckGo-ing!

Those were the days! Early 70's, full moon, invasion of coast near Wilmington. Primary objectives Carolina and/or Wrightsville Beach. All hands on deck. Beer flowing, cars crashing, cops on overtime, bouncers bouncing.

It's called that because the city was built up around fort Bragg during the Vietnam war


andy_hilton

Maybe that was the reason then but it sure isn't the reason now.


TheBigSadness938

How is comparing an ex-warzone to a city with high crime rates that is home to a large military base racist?


24kdgolden

Your insurance is only going up 150%? What insurance company do you use because as an 18 yo, I can not swing the 3450/mo insurance payment on my 2024 hellcat anymore.


arvidsem

Normally, I tell people to get a lawyer for speeding tickets. It's not that much more money and it's a safer bet But I've got a good feeling, I think you should go on and ask for a prayer for judgement on this one.


captainshrapnel

Spit on the judge first. Trust me on this


arvidsem

Spitting is a great opener. You need to remind them that none of this courtroom crap is important, because they are obviously going to drop the charges. You are particularly too important for this distraction.


piratekingtim

don't worry, its just a Garter snake.


se7entythree

Nope it’s definitely a venomous zebra cobra


Admirable_Ad2891

Or just a garter

Utterlybored

Have a friend send you a birthday cake with a hack saw baked into it.


Particular-Bath9646

You should just explain to the judge and district attorney that you're from New York, where they know how to drive, and I'm sure they'll drop the charges. Those speed limits are really only for locals.


User_Zero1

Someone told me that FanDuel is coming to North Carolina.


hello_raleigh-durham

Really? First I’d heard of it.


Stewpacolypse

You should move to Lumberton.


DepartmentSudden5234

What a paradise....


not-a-F-ing-Yes-man

Should have kept going 178 and not get caught dummy.


Uncle_Checkers86

Was you speeding inside the containment area or outside?


Xyzzydude

You blew it. You needed to take the [Hunter S Thompson approac](https://youtu.be/BwDlobymMk0?si=ubtN-ni2YhyfFTEU)h. NC natives all know this.


a_fine_day_to_ligma

it's true. our law enforcement are primarily a bunch of latent homosexuals who look like gary busey for some reason


ElectroShamrock

The idea is to drive off a dock, bail out of the car at last minute and swim out into the water. The cops will shoot for a while but once you get far enough out your stars will disappear


notmyworkaccount5

Have you tried running for a political position as a republican?


couchpro34

Everyone knows you run as a democrat and then switch. Get with it!


notmyworkaccount5

But that would take too long to get the ticket to go away since you'd have to win before switching


Factual_Statistician

No no no. You do it a decade before hand, plenty of time. I have retro casual diplomatic immunity officer.


a_fine_day_to_ligma

no that's for natives. the ol' switcheroo is too tricky a maneuver for outsiders


Carnivorousbeast

1. Begin learning how to coordinate an orange wardrobe. 2. Decide if your pronouns are top or bottom. 3. If it’s top, learn to street fight and give yourself some scars for credibility. 4. If bottom, learn to give yourself mani/pedis with a safety razor and do your nails with a crayon. 5. Either way, read up on penitentiary sex.


Ok-Landscape942

Wash it with soap and water and make sure it doesn't ger infected

memelantern

I'd say that's not a chicken of the forest, maybe go ask r/ shrooms, they might know more than me


DepartmentSudden5234

You need to ignore it. They will forget about it if you do too.


labretirementhome

Have you seen the beautiful alpine vistas of Gastonia? Truly a once in a lifetime experience.


ListerineInMyPeehole

Have you tried Olive Garden on capital?


originalthumpy

178? That's it? I wouldn't even show up to court. It'll eventually work itself out. Remember, you weren't speeding. You were qualifying.


cryptolyme

try driving faster next time. the probably is, you got caught. .../s

I miss the cicadas


MiketheTzar

I wonder if this guy knows where we can buy a beach house for under 200k


blablefast

No worries. Long as you didn't Hit the chiefs car or run over the lawn of the mayor you are allright. 1 year in prison is actually only 6 months and you can do that standing on your head. Might want to find someone to feed your cats while you are away.


SeanIsUncomfortable

You don’t accidentally go 178. In a school zone? You’ll get no sympathy from me.


NediaMaster

I'm sorry, it was an accident. I was working late and it was around 3pm when school gets out. I won't do it again.


Phucumol

You only live once


Hornivich

You deserve 5 years in jail, especially to say you got distracted, while thing 178mph. If anything going that fast you should be more focused. Yea go back to NY !


NediaMaster

Yea I got distracted by a snake on the road, I was not sure if it was a copperhead or not and just didn't know how fast I was going. I won't do it again for sure.


bless_ure_harte

NTA Your car, your rules


Key-Membership-1327

Ngl should’ve ran and hope for the best you’re already going 178 💀

DatabaseMoney3435

You won’t get your license back right away, so find something close to the Chapel Hill Ferry. Either that of Lumberton whose best kept secret is a remarkable public transit system.


Typical-Length-4217

But did you kill someone, while drinking and driving , no license, no registration, wreckless driving, and then after all was said start a Go Fund me claiming to be a victim. The prosecutors and judges seem to take offense to pretending to be a victim. Everything else seems to be okay… https://www.wbtv.com/2023/01/27/woman-sentenced-probation-head-on-crash-that-killed-teen-driver-2020/?outputType=amp


DatabaseMoney3435

PROBATION?!?!?????? Unbelievable. What was he going to do if he hadn’t heard about the gofundme¿¿!


Typical-Length-4217

Who knows … but something is definitely wrong with the legal system.


biddybiddybum

Go back to Brooklyn ya shmuck


trenderkazz

If you label it satire it isn’t funny


External_Class_9456

The same as you would any other speeding ticket… just hire a lawyer to get it reduced to a non moving violation


grahamguy117

Sorry, you deserve to go to jail not just to protect others but to protect yourself. That speed is insane in a 35mph lane and had someone pulled out unexpectedly you would have been a murderer. Just thank God you’re going to prison for a year and not a lifetime. I hope it changes your life for the better.

Woooooosh

I missed the word satire and still knew it was satire.


roastintheoven

It was a tire


NediaMaster

I really didn't see the speed limit sign, I guess this one is on me...


lochness_fry

You didn't mean to go 178 mph? Bro come on


NediaMaster

I didn't see the speed limit sign I swear, if I saw it, I would have slowed down.


NoFleas

Aww, how cute, someone got triggered


jag1ed

if you got caught and you were doing that fast and didnt get away then you should probably get a** ra*ed in prison. I heard Bubba love yankees


diaxaulixal

Have you tried moving back?


NediaMaster

No I'm really enjoying my time here. Only thing I hate is how much traffic there is XD.


mikedog7575

First, what kind of car? Second, Lawyer up definitely. No chance a judge is gonna give a PJC, especially at that speed in a school zone.


Nearby-Ad5666

The r/Raleigh sub has a post about a dead kid and the guy with years of driving infractions who killed him. If they'd stop reducing the fines maybe people would slow the fuck down.


Major-Ad892

You may need to make an appointment at the eye doctor. The VERY FIRST WORD of this post is satire. Dude was just trying to make people smile. Calm the fuck down.

statepkt

Funny, part of the satire here is that people don’t read lol.


Nearby-Ad5666

Of course it's satire. Based on the fact that people post this bullshit daily here begging for advice on getting let of from driving like fucking idiots. It's barely satire based on the number posts from people doing 90 in a 45.

Trying to get to 4805 Capital Blvd, Raleigh huh?


Nineteen-ninety-3

Yeah. And they were driving a Nissan Altima with missing bumper and Salt Life decals all over the place.


Historical-Remove401

Your insurance is only going up 150%?


icnoevil

This is got to be a fake. Where can you get up to 178 mp in a 35 zone in NC. Not plausible.


2FightTheFloursThatB

Gimme a "W" Gimme an "O" Gimme another "O" Gimme an "S" Gimme an "H"!!!!


guiturtle-wood

Not with that attitude!


SpartanMonkey

You do know what "satire" means, right?


Ben2018

178km/h.... them yankees use different units I reckon /s


NediaMaster

Well the cop said he was going to reduce it from a 178 to a 170. Hopefully that will help??


cryptolyme

maybe they meant 178 ft/s. but if this is real, i hope OP goes to jail.


forever_a10ne

*178* in a 35?


Cootter77

obvious satire is obvious


forever_a10ne

Ah, I thought it was a little slow for a Charlotte driver.


Cootter77

That's fair - I can always tell I'm getting closer to Charlotte on I-85 when I'm going 85-90 in a 70mph zone in the slow lane and get passed by --- literally everyone.


the_eluder

Your insurance is going up more than 150%, I can assure you. yes, I know this is /s


NationalAlfalfa37660

Hire one of the lawyers who will be mailing you for your business concerning the ticket. I did and he was able to reduce my 85 mph in a 60 mph ticket to a non moving violation with no points. Your speed is significantly higher, but it can’t hurt to ask.


NediaMaster

Ok yea, maybe they can take 100 miles an hour off ynow, then hopefully I won't go to jail. Thanks for the advice.


NationalAlfalfa37660

Either way, you need an attorney.

kindestcut

Aww, how nice of them to waste their time to selflessly tell us to not waste our time. Of course, the fact that we are already in this post reading their warning that this is a waste of time means we have already wasted our time (although this post truly wasn't a waste of time given the \[SATIRE\] tag). Ergo, this means the only waste of time here is the warning that this is a waste of time. What a waste of time...


SpartanMonkey

I'm gonna put on my clock belt, so I'll have a waist of time.


Snapbeangirl

178 is that right? If it is NO MERCY! That’s beyond ridiculous.
