oh man.. last July 4th weekend i got slapped with 4 tickets @ the same time cruising home from Atlantic City, NJ. i was doing about a buck ten speed limit was 45. the SP put 90 in a 45 though. he also got me for Failure to Maintain lane, WRECKLESS DRIVING, and a BS ticket (view obstruction) for my radar detector which was at that time mounted via suction cups to the windshield.
prior to those tickets, my record was CLEAN though.. i hired an attorney. i was supposed to get 12 points with license suspension. but i got to keep my license and the points cut down to 5 points. judge dropped the charges except for the 90 in a 45 and the Obstruction of View. so all i had & have now is 5 points on my record. will be erased in 3years if i dont commit any more moving violations! get a lawyer, pay the fines, dont do it again ;) thats what happened to me lol. i was crazy b4. every sports car i see i'd down shift, chase, then leave em in the dust lol. it FELT REALLY F*CKING GOOD but very irresponsible. TRUST that i'm a different man now :) now, i leave the craze & speed @ the tracks! theres a right time for everything! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR CASE! |

So I guess the best thing to do is hire a lawyer then. I don't mind paying lawyer fees just so long as they can somehow reduce the charge or not get my license suspended or something. I can't afford to not be able to drive ya know what i mean? |

I'm sure hiring a lawyer is the best way to go :tup: |

Hit the bottom of the hill and at 110 (in a 55) I passed two VA state police. I was done, and I knew it. I was going so fast that I actually went ahead and pulled over and when they came after me they almost passed me back! :p End result? They gave me a ticket and actually let me go. Court result? I got no lawyer but I did bring a friend because I knew I wasn't going to be driving home. Police officer did show up. Judge suspended my license on the spot for 90 days & the total fines ran me almost $500. Remember, that was almost 20 years ago.....:icon14: Not trying to freak you out....just being honest about what happened to me. And no, that wasn't my first ticket and it hasn't been my last. :rolleyes: |

You should get a job in law enforcement. This will give you “carte blanche” with traffic law violations!!

Cop pulled over my wife for going 79 in a 65. Said he would write the fine for 5 over so it doesn't show up on DMV report. ********. He wrote the ticket for going 97 in a 65. Wrote the fine for 5 over. We plead guilty by paying the fine. 2years, 3 months later, I'm checking insurance rates. Ticket on record, insurance rates are stupid. Lucky us, our previous carrier didn't know about it. Courts won't change it without an attorney. 9mo wait is cheaper. |
Supragtsxr I'm gonna be straight up. I am in the law enforcement business and it doesn't look good for you at all. Your just gonna have to take your lumps, because theres nothing a lawyer can do. It's like trying to make water out of dirt, theres just nothing you can do even if you hire help.
Just my own opinion |
Some advice from ehow.com:
"When you go to court, you most likely will appear before the clerk magistrate, before seeing the judge. Tell the clerk magistrate or judge what happened. Be honest and tell him/her that you believe the fine is excessive and that you cannot afford to pay it. Explain that you are not denying responsibility, but you do not have the financial means to pay a fine that high. Most likely, your fine will be substantially reduced, and the issuing officer will not object to it. Good luck!" |
