License suspension
 

i dont know if this is the right section, but i am on my provisional license and i have gotten 2 tickets prior. Back in january I got a letter in the mail saying my license would be suspended, but i appealed the suspension and the judge lifted it. The judge said next ticket i get is a automatic 180 day suspension. Last week i get another ticket by a state trooper going 95 in a 65. i plan on fighting the ticket, but i probably will lose. Right now i am awaiting the court date for the ticket. If i lose, then i will get the suspensioin notification in the mail which i will also lawyer up for and try to fight. But what i am asking is if anybody knows if i can get a drivers license in a different state that doesnt cohere to the interstate compact before my license even gets suspeded. I already know you cant do that if it is suspended, i am asking if you can do that before it gets suspended?

maybe a short suspension instead of a revocation will teach you to slow down on public roads

Before you try and scheme over the internet how to circumvent the legal system, maybe you need to grow-up a bit and reflect on what you've done. I sure as hell don't want someone this irresponsible on the road with my family and me.

Sorry, I'm sure this isn't the response you were looking for, and I'm waiting to get flamed by the rest of the Board, but sometimes you need to man up and accept the consequences of your actions.

Good luck. Some of life's best lessons are the hardest to learn.

:iagree:

i understand all of that, but i have something called a job and without a license i cannot get to and from that job. Without the job i wont be able to take care of my self and stay on top of my bills. Imean i know some of you all are gonna be dicks and say man up and all this other ****.. but i am just asking for some input to help the situation, not a mommy and daddy lecture. If you dont have anything helpful to say dont respond...

:wtf2:

:icon18:

You just proved my point for me.

heres a non mommy and daddy response.

you effed up bad. You havnt learned from this and your not going to. Hopefully you will though

As for advice, not much you can really do. Its generally better to go in and explain your job situation etc rather than go in and try to fight it in a defensive manner. Lawyer may help you get something off like community service, a major fine, driver courses etc etc, you should be happy if you get such an option. It may come with a 30 day suspension instead of 180.

Oh and for everyone being a "****" to you, those guys are being helpful. Because if their advice sticks in your head you wont be making a thread like this again in 7 months.

As for your if i dont drive i dont have a job etc etc speech, thats why people with something to lose, generally heed the warning and leniancy they were given.

And I have no clue on this last matter, but is the car and motorcycle license the same? could look into a bike and that stuff. Although if you drive like that on a bike you most likely will just end up in a worse situation.

You can't get another state license in the meantime unless you have legitimate plans of moving. You might try, heck you might even be successful but I would think it will catch up with you when you do go to court.

In the event, your license gets suspended for a while, you could:
Get a friend to give you a ride to/from work
Look into public transportation
Move closer to work

Please be mindful of other drivers/pedestrians safety!

Man up.

Do you know me or my situation. Do you know why i was speeding 95 in a 65 or why i got the first two tickets. No you dont. You are sitting at your computer judging me, without know anything about my situation. If one of your family memebers was in a emergency would you speed to there aid.... I repeat i came in here for some helpful input, not a bunch of negative responses.

:iagree:

ride the bus for awhile.

Don't know what the laws are where you are but I know here in Ohio alot of the time you can get "work privileges" while your license is suspended. All this means is that your allowed to drive to and from work while your license is suspended. Just don't try and drive anywhere else while on "work privileges" cause if you get caught no more work privileges.

If you can't do the time then don't commit the crime.

here's a not mommy and daddy response

you should have bought a radar detector if you wanted to speed all the time.

With a good enough lawyer you should be able to avoid the suspension. it will cost you a lot though. you should at the very least be able to arrange some sort of provisonal lisence that allows you to only drive to and from work.

Call 911 next time for an ambulance.

public transportation is not a option where i live. but i guess i will look into this work privilege thing, thanks

PS. this is the part where everyone on the car forum gets high and mighty and pretends they never speed

:tiphat:

Lawyer up and try to work out a provisional work license like JeffBlue said. That's going to be your best bet.

Good luck and drive safe. :)

Some reading info? If and when your lic is suspended I would look into a provisional lic so you can drive to work or back in the event that your state allows that. I don't know if this will help but I tried

Provisional License Suspension, Provisional Driver's License Points | The Law Office of Raymond F. Anthracite

lol right...

appreciate it

P.S.S - this is the part where anyone who does speed and does it enough to have their license and livelyhood threatened don't go whining about it, or try coming up with an illegal scheme to get out of it.

I hope the OP works this out, I just am not convinced he's learned anything from it.

since you've met me n all, ask the fella's. : / im the one they make fun of cus i drive slow. Hell if i go above 3k rpm in a week im being naughty.

You should hear the story about the police escort on our way down to ZDayZ... I'll never live that one down. :bowrofl:

Driving Restriction - Placement of a Restriction

here's the info for the state your profile claims you live in.


If you're actually working, and you obtain a different out of state license showing proof of residency outside of your current state, would you plan to file your income taxes in the out of state or just let it ride?

Get a lawyer.

No one on a random internet forum knows anything about anything.

"Off topic" is supposed to be devoted to boobs and nonsense, not legal advice...

Good luck, Speedy.

Your driving record seems to be developing a pattern. If your job depends on your license then your in the wrong type of work. Its like your driving a bus telling the school district "Its only my second DUI"

:tup:

We're just fortunate enough to not get caught speeding as mAny times as the OP did. Really..who drives literally the speed limit??

In no way am I going to pretend I don't speed. In fact, if I'm on the interstate I'm going a good bit over the speed limit. But, you better believe if/when I get a ticket and have some points on my license, it's definitely going to stop. In no way would I continue to speed knowing that another ticket could put me in jeopardy of losing my right to drive.
Everyone screws up at some point. The question is whether you learn your lesson before the consequences get severe. To the OP...don't do the crime if you can't do the time. The only reason I speed so much now is because I don't have any points on my license, and financially I'm in the position to pay the penalty if I get caught. Good luck.

I completely agree. In Texas, you can do defensive driving and get a ticket off your record, but only once once every 12 months. So, I speed and continue to speed responsibly (e.g. I'm not doing 90mph in neighborhoods). If I get a ticket, my speeding will stop as I don't need/want tickets on my driving record until I'm eligible for defensive driving again :tup:.

I would never say I don't drive above the limit, sometimes with traffic a good bit above (on freeways) but 30 years, no ticket, and I dont think you'd get a ticket if you were carrying someone to the ER - otherwise, you had your chances and you're just a slow learner.

The Judge told you if you received another ticket and you would loose your PRIVILEGE to drive and your dumba$$ went and ignored his warning and the multiple other speed violation tickets you got. You should have thought of that before you sped again but no... you didn't. Your job matters none in the respect of what you did. You deserve to loose your license and if that happens and your two feet or public transportation can't bring you to your job that's your fault and you deserve to loose that also.

You car payments, rent/mortgage and other bills you are about to forfeit on are your fault and your fault only. have fun loosing everything, you will get no symphony from me child! In fact, I hope you loose your car from this!!!

Dont go 95 in a 65 unless you are willing to accept the risk of getting caught, nuff said. As far as advice, public transportation still exists, as do carpools, etc, be creative or buy a bike and get on with work if you lose your license.

If you had a valid reason to be going that fast, you should have proved it to the cop when he pulled you over (aka your wife is on the floor having a heart attack and you're on the way to go save her... or you were punishing a ricer for being a ricer)

If you were cruising at 30 over (not that a LOT of people on here dont do that daily), you're asking to make a cop's day. :driving:
