Speeding ticket.. 42mph over
- Thread starter 03_termi
- Start date
I got paced(not radared) at speeds well north of a hundred on my old CBR1000. It was on an open road in a state park and I didnt have a motorcycle endorsment on my license at the time. The LEO could have taken me to jail but because I have a clean record, he wrote me about $1800 worth of tickets and made me have someone come pick me and the bike up. He didnt show up for court so the judge threw everything but the no license ticket out and I walked away with just court fees, and a ticket that dissapeard when I went and got my motorcycle endorsmant. In Florida I believe if the LEO doesnt show up to court, there isnt much of a case.
Back in 05 i got sent to jail for going 147 in a 65. Well i didnt go to jail because of that. I had just got divorced and was broke so i hauled ass and they set up a road block for my dumb ass. I spent 4 days in jail and had 6 tickets. I went from 0 points to 15 in one shot. Got a lawyer and ended up paying a $674 fine and that was it. I had to take a defensive driving course to keep my license though. Good luck

Had the cobra for about 5 months and got caught doing 81 in a 50. It would've been 5 points but I spoke with the prosecutor and he dropped it to 67 in a 50 and I ended up getting 2 points. I took the defensive driving course and got rid of those two points. Definitely take the defensive driving course. It will benefit you in the long run.
Spend some money and receive just a slap on the wrist going from 42 over to under 5 over. How do lawyers tell their kids that money doesn't absolve them from responsibility when their kids constantly point out examples like this! :lol1:
When I was in court waiting to get called up to speak to the judge there was a case where a 17 year old kid was driving past his curfew and was under the influence of alcohol.. His father and lawyer were there and they blamed it on the divorce his parents were going through. The kid walked away with a 3 month suspension and a fine of about $1500.00. The Father and Lawyer were apparently good friends so I wonder if the kid will learn his lesson? :shrug:
I was pulled over about 5 years ago for doing over 100 in a 65. I was in my 05 gt and my buddy was on his motorcycle. We accelerated to get in front of some traffic next to us as we were coming off an on ramp. Supposedly an off duty cop saw us and phoned it in saying we were racing. We were pulled over about 5 miles up the road by a county officer. We had slowed down once we were in front of traffic. We slowed to 65 once we were in front of the group. He asked how fast i was going. "About 65-70 sir." He then told me about the off duty cop and asked why i was racing. i told him the truth that i wasnt racing and never admitted to speeding. i know he was pissed. i dont blame him. slapped my friend and i with reckless driving. i lawyered up and since i never admitted to speeding, and was never checked by radar, they couldnt prove it. the prosecutor offered to drop it if i had no like or similar offense for 1 year. had to pay a 250 court fee and the lawyer was a friend so he didnt charge me. in MN reckless is similar to DUI in regards to fines and insurance hikes, which is alot. You just dont have to deal with treatment. learned my lesson since then. i was stopped in february and almost got ticketed for no proof of insurance. got it all sorted out and didnt pay anything. now i just dont drive more than once a week....
Oh yes, don't leave us hanging. Do tell.op:
no updates yet. have court the 30th of this month. ill update as soon as i find out.
lmao
lmao probably but i hope not
:lol:
It appeared from your previous post that you have received punishment. My bad.
We will be waiting.
no i went to court once but the law office my lawyer works for is called Hamlet and Burtle and my lawyer Kevin Hamlet is the husband of the judge so they set a different court date with a different judge.
Yeah, that would be a good reason. :lol1:

Eric Snow was such a horrible point guard when he played for the Cavs.
Apparently he cannot post constructively in the Donut Shop thread either. :lol:
Sorry to hear that man
