OMG bad speeding ticket....any advice?

Supragtsxr · 09-26-2009, 01:46 AM

Um..tittle says it all. I cant believe i was going to fast. Anyone with any tips on reducing the fine? I've in deep wreckless territory.

Thanks all

*Edit* Adding this up here to make it easier since alot of people are asking how fast I was going. I was doing double the speed limit in a 55mph zone.

Umm, how fast above the posted speed you be going? Then maybe we can give you some advice.

Pushing_Tin · 09-26-2009, 02:06 AM

How fast were you going? I think VA is one of the worst states in the country for speeding penalties.

Hire an attorney.

If you have a clean record you may be able to ask for a deferral......means pay the fee and the ticket stays off your record if you stay clean for ~3 years. Nice deal for WA people.

How fast were you going? Fast enough to be wreckless driving? Not sure about VA, but in NY, if the cop don't show up for court, the ticket is thrown out (except for wreckless driving). You might also be able to plea bargain and claim guilty to a lesser speed (I was cited for 15 over, but at court cop bargain with me and will knock it down to 5 over for insurance purposes...but still had to pay fine/court fee for 15 over)! Last, but not least, is to hire a lawyer.

In Virginia.....cops will show up for the most minimal of minimal tickets/fines. They're like that....attorney is the way to go in VA. Trust me.....I've been there on numerous occassions.

Hope you get the book thrown at you. There should be no tolerance for excessive, unsafe, reckless speeding.

JoeD you are absolutely correct. I should, because I was a total idiot. It was such a nice and open stretch of road I should have just bit my tongue. I totally regret that stupid dicision to nail it.

We can't have a thread on here without extremist drama queens.
Both of u guys need girlfriends or a hobby or somethin. Seriously dudes. RELAX.

DUDE WHO GOT THE TICKET... SH1T HAPPENS. NO ONE IS PERFECT.
SO NO 1 HAS THE RIGHT TO BE SELF RIGHTEOUS EXCEPT THE MAN UPSTAIRS N HIS SON WHO DIED FOR OUR SINS.
SECONDLY. U BOUGHT A SPORTS CAR. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS EVERY NOW AND AGAIN.
MY ADVICE, TRY FOR A DEFERRAL OR TAKE THE DEFENSIVE DRIVING COURSE IF OFFERED AS A RESOLUTION.
LASTLY BRUH! BUY YOURSELF TOP SELECT RADAR FROM ESCORT AND OR VALENTINE ONE.
I ALSO RECOMMEND A JAMMER. THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE U WON'T GET PINCHED BUT,
BUT IT WILL REDUCE YOUR CHANCES BY 80% THIS $800-1500 INVESTMENT WILL SAVE U BUNDLES LATER.
N don't stress these negatives in the forum always tag teamin on sum1 who is askin for help. Don't justify to or respond to them. Or they go on and on and on and on about how u bad of a person u r for speeding. Lol what a life to live? Lmao!

That sounds like Salem, and Marion county sherriffs.

Get an attorney. It will cost more money, but it'll save your license.

Sometimes, at least in our case...

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.
