Got a ticket, couldnt find the leo section?

[punchit]

Well I was riding my motorcycle on saturday night and got on it a little in first gear and the wheel came up less than a foot in the air. Cop pulled me over and gave me a reckless endangerment ticket. It doesnt help that I recieved a speeding ticket less than a month before in my truck. Anyway the ticket says i was only doing 35 in a 40mph zone so i wasnt even goin to speed limit. Any suggestions and to what to tell the judge?

Tell him you hit the throttle too hard and the wheel came up, you weren't speeding and judges hate liars

He wasn't ticketed for speeding. Reckless is a criminal charge. He needs to get an attorney.

definitely. if you want to beat a ticket you almost always need to lawyer up.

This isn't just a "ticket" like a traffic citation. In Arizona, reckless endangerment is a class 1 misdemenor which is the highest level.

^^^i was just speaking in general. it seems that having a lawyer is the way to go if you want to either beat or lessen the blow of a traffic ticket.

When I had a motorcycle (2003 CBR 600RR) I had the same situation. I was a new rider and the opened up the throttle too quickly. The wheel came up shortly and then I was pulled over for reckless driving. I didn't have insurance on the bike at that point in time, so I was cited for no insurance as well. The judge removed the "no insurance" charge, but he left the misdemeanor charge as is

Attorney! That charge is a little rougher than speeding.
