When I was waiting for my case people were dropping like flies. People were lying and acting oblivious to their violations had the book thrown at them. Judges won't fall for that stuff. People that pled no contest w/clean records almost always walked w/just a minimal fine.

I guess we all learn from our own mistakes ;)
from relationships to our trials in life to minor court cases like these

after i was off the hook with my case, i hardly hop on the fast lane. i'd hop on the fast lane only to pass someone thats going unreasonably slow for who knows why & to avoid big trucks (hate em!) but yeah basically if the speed limit is 60, best believe im doing 55 now lol

GOOD LUCK.

LOL, winner!

^^ and i dont give a F who revs at me or no matter who pulls up next to me not even a lambo. although i seen one the other night and i was very tempted to down shift and let him hear my engine roar lol but nahh... no more taking chances ^^

When I was 19 and living in New Mexico I got a speeding ticket from the state police for 125 in a 55 on I-70. It was a mandatory court appearance. I got a lawyer but she did absolutely nothing for me because not only did I have to pay her I got the maximum fine and court costs.

Sorta why I didnt take one for my 110 in a 55.....just took a buddy to drive me home! That was cheaper! :icon17:

I got a similar ticket in texas, I guess they don't care as much becaue I just mailed in the fine ($300 and some change from what I remember).
No big deal at all, until my insurance company found out. That's when the money hit the fan.

dps, you think calibrating the speedo will matter for a 110mph ticket?
 

Nope, not in the most obvious way. don't leave anything on the table. Be prepared for anything. It's really at matter of taking it seriously. Show the judge that you put some time and money into your defense. You have to pay, so show them you're paying.

I was in the military and right after I got the ticket and points I moved to Tokyo, and by the time I got back to the states that ticket was gone from my record. :tup:

:bowrofl:

I'm still paying for that ticket. Another 6 months I think before insurance will drop it

Yeah in Japan you got Japanese insurance so it was great for me, I did get pulled over a few times while I was there and the Japanese cops were yelling at me and I just acted very sorry and pretended I didn't understand what they were saying and they'd get frustated and let me go. :icon17:

hey frost, how long from the time you got those tickets did your insurance go up? like i said b4 i had 4 tickets last July but i was only charged with 1 violation which is 5 points. i checked my insurance and it hasnt gone up. i hope it doesnt period. my lawyer did say well it might go up minimally or not at all cuz your record was clean prior to this.

Japanese cops yelling? That's something I wouldn't have pictured, I thought they were supposed to be cool customers over there, lol. I'd like to learn enough german/french that when I get pulled over I can pretend I only speak it.

lolol! hey is it true what they said in Fast and Furious Tokyo drift that if you go a certain top speed, cops wont even bother chase you cuz their cars are factory tuned and it wont catch up? always wondered if that was true..

Depends on when the insurance expires. It's mostly good for either 6 months or a year right? When it comes time to renew they will check. However, my insurance company did tell me that they "get a little lazy" when some of their long-term customers who have never had any issues. They don't check them unless they are slow.
So for me, it took around 7 months.

ohhh ok thanks. i recently changed my address and i had to let my insurance know and it went up by like $20. hopefully that was the increase lol

Don't know for sure. I was always on my bike and I never ran. Basically if you very apologetic they like that and will let you go, that and none of them spoke English so it was pretty sweet!

Yeah I forget what I was doing exactly, but he was not a happy camper. I never got pulled over in Tokyo, I was always out in the country riding the twisties, their roads are amazing. Many of the corners have a type of sandpaper coating on them to prevent slipping, on a bike you could drag a knee all the time.

If you moved and they raised your rates, it's probably more likely because you moved. Rates are also based on zip code and how many collisions happen there.
This is one of the only times I would EVER say this, but insurance companies need some effen government regulation.

That and how many cars are stolen there.

I don't know if it'll work after the fact but try calling pre paid legal services, apparently they are pretty worthless for just about anything EXCEPT speeding tickets. According to some people I know they have all skated from wreckless tickets using PPL. Of course they had the service prior to the tickets and just called up when they needed em, but they may allow you to join and work your case after the fact. PM me if you have any interest, I know a couple people who push the service (they bust my balls all the time tryin to get me to join, I tell em bite my ***) but if it can help you should look into it.

I'm with the folks who say check your insurance after your renewal date. Like most folks here, in my younger years I was a bit of a lead-foot as well, and the last of those are getting ready to fall off my record. Many of them weren't noticed until the renewal date and the mandatory record check that the company performed...and in one case, it went a full year before they caught it, but best to work under the assumption that they *will* catch it at some point. It might be when you renew your policy, it might be when you change addresses, it might be when you get a new car and change policies, but it will come up at some point...and if you have too many violations, they may even shuffle you onto a high risk driver program and charge you double for the insurance, if they don't drop you altogether.

lol hey im a fairfax high school graduate! go rebels
if thats what they were called...

:tup: I do believe thats them!

so by your standards do you feel that all law enforcement are corrupt? :icon08:

:iagree:

To the original poster... There's a time a place for everything. I hate getting tickets too, but I'd say your best bet is to try to get them to drop the charges to an infraction and pay the ticket.

I feel that the greater majority of law enforcement is corrupt. I have a lot of friends in law enforcement and they tell me all sort of shenanigans that go on.

:icon17: i have to ask...but is the porn industry any different :rofl2:
