gsxr750 will become famous soon enough

I was riding my gsxr750 with my daughter down a suburban industrial main road, when a US mail truck slams on its brakes and makes a quick left turn, my only choice was a fast pass on the right shoulder or rear end the postal truck.

Turns out the local patrol car scene the whole event , turned out the cop didn't give a **** about the illegal turn of the postal truck and proceeded to write me up for 4 tickets, (speeding, passing on the right, no inspection, reckless driving) all BS except for the inspection.

End result plead not guilty, requested deposition , court and cop failed to provide it in the legal time provided, went to court and made a motion on my own to have all charges dismissed, judge reluctantly agreed and you know he wanted to throw the book at me, specially when a lot of ppl before me were getting hammered with $250-$300 tickets for one violation.

Figure I should update... Last year on valentine's day, I was on my way down PCH through Malibu around 3pm in gridlock traffic going towards Hollywood to surprise her at her apartment. Was behind a truck going 45, the speed limit, with all the cars around doing that same speed or less. I even though I know every hiding spot on PCH, I still couldn't get any faster than 45 unless I want to plow into the flatbed truck in front.

I saw a motorcycle CHP in the median and thought nothing of if, a few minutes later I see him weaving through traffic and hand signaled me to pull over. I got out to get my wallet in the trunk, and he said he saw I had no front plate and was going 67. But lucky day for me, he said he'll reduce it to 63 to avoid reckless driving, but don't worry he then said "son, now that I reduced it you can take driving school for a nominal fee and get this all erased from your record, it'll be like it never existed." So basically he admitted he was driving revenue. $450 ticket plus $100 for driving school. The one time I wasn't doing anything, I got pulled over. Go figure.

Worst ticket yet? This past Saturday. Was just cruising to downtown SA to take pictures with my buddy. Speed limit is 65 and I see a new gen charger approaching then finally turns his lights on. I'm like sh!t..... I didn't even notice I was speeding and as I look down at my speedo while slowing down I see 75. I exit, turn the car off and place my keys near my gauges in sight and begin taking out my insurance and license. He walks up and says what's the hurry sir. I just tell him oh nothing really me and a buddy were just going to downtown to take a few photographs of our cars. He tells me did you know you were going 89 in a 65? I'm say wow. I speed but never really this much. Might have just Ben the excitement of going to take some pictures? Idk. I end up getting a ticket for 24 over as well as switching lanes without a blinker which I will admit too.

I am currently trying to figure out how to deal with this since i believe I've already taken DD about 9 months ago and my only other deal is Deferred Disposition. Thing is I'm 20 and apparently for people under 25 if you want to take probation you HAVE to take DD and I don't think I can. I live in SA TX as well so if anyone has any idea as to how I can approach this it will be greatly appreciated.

I was told to try to just tell em that I haven't taken DD in the past year and to try to get away with it because its happened in the past to a couple buddies due to te court not keeping track of it but besides that I got nothing except for talking to th judge and just sorry my way into possibly getting out of it and taking probation.

Sorry for the long rant. Been a long week

Ps: before anyone starts throwing that "oh stop racing on the highways" etc., I would just like to make it clear that we weren't. Just a cruise towards downtown SA to take some pictures and I ended up going faster than intended and got caught for it.

You really think a lawyer would be a good thing to do right now? I've never really dealt with going to court I've just gotten it dismissed and what not but as of right now I'm just trying to find a way out of having it off my record. Paying the ticket is the least of my worries it's just insurance I'm really worried about.

My cousin told me I could speak to an attorney that's at the court after setting an appointment buttttt Idk how much that would help with the judge either

Absolutely. If you're going to court for a traffic issue that you may not be able to take defensive driving for, bring a lawyer.

If you have time to go to court, do it and just ask the judge to take defensive driving. I know a guy who took it three times in one year, and I don't know anyone (out of about a dozen court appearances) who has been denied when they asked.

worst ticket for me was on a united international flight back from japan. i was seated at the very last row of the 747 and passengers kept banging the toilet door shut each time they got out.

result: woke me up every 5-10min the entire 13hrs.

Freshman year of college, January 2008 and I was running late for class. There I was speeding in my little '01 V6 Mustang, went over an overpass on the interstate, and wham, ticket.

One month later I was running late again, same overpass, SAME STATE TROOPER, and a much larger ticket. I can still hear his voice "I pulled you over just last month, apparently you didn't learn your lesson." What an awful feeling.

Just passed my 5 year anniversary

I had to learn the hard way, NEVER speed when going over an overpass, even when late..

Got pulled over on a suspended license doing 135 in a 35. Told the cop I cut a guy off who honked at me so I gave him the finger. The guy responded buy waving a gun at me, so I took off. My friend Stephanie who was in the car with me played along perfectly with the story. Long story short, after finding out that the cop and I had a lot of mutual friends he threw away tickets he had written me for speeding, driving on a suspended license with knowledge, incorrect address on license, no proof of insurance. Should have gone to jail and lost my license for up to 5 years, but he let Stephanie drive me home.

Thanks for the advice. I'll make sure to do that when the court date arrives. Thank you!

This is exactly what I'm hoping for. Happened to a couple of my friends but since the "sure" thing out there is that you can only take it once per 12 months it kind of brings my hopes down. I'll make sure to ask for Deferred Disposition and ask to take Defensive Driving as well. Thank you!

I've always retained my traffic lawyer long before the court date. They usually file for an extension a couple of times in the hope it will be dismissed.
