Got a Ticket

holy crap. $440 is freaking nutts. 27 over isnt the most ive seen. get this, i was riding in my friends Celica bc he wanted me to feel how "quick" it was and we were going 110 in a 65 and guess what happened to him....the cop made him call his parents and tell them!! they grounded him for a week. :rlaugh:
 
best thing to do is go to court man. Believe me I know, my hometown is in Columbia and the state troopers (on 20) don't play around. If you go to court they should cut the price in half. They might give you a break as far as the points go. I had a ticket for 250 and 4 points and ending up payin 125 and only lost 2 points. Good luck.
 
Hmmm.... I got a ticket in my 85 Corolla for doing 91 in a 70, construction zone. $307, but I got on deferred judication, and as long as I didn't get another ticket for 6 months, it wouldn't go on the record. I didn't get one, so all was cool, except now the government has $307 more of MY money. But that's here in Texas, I don't know what it's like there. Hope it works out for you.
 
anyone beat this!?!?! 142 in 55 in a place called exton PA on my dads ZX-12R.... luckily i made up some story how i cut some guy off and he was chasing me in his car so i panicked and fled, plus my dad knows some local cops. still got 4 points and $180 fine, my best advice to you is to take it to court. did he use radar or vascar??
 
where in exton could you hit 142?! i didn't think any of the roads had that much room, let alone being empty enough to try it.

anyway, that sucks man. i would take it court, and ask for a reduced ticket. i'd be more concerned about the points than the cash. offer to take a drivers training course.

you win this round :rlaugh:
 
here where i live we have youthful offender, and option of driving schoold worth a shot

tell him he didn't actually clock your car. I beat a radar ticket once b/c he was far off, and the furhter a radar beam travels the wider it gets, and will pickup diff. cars, do some research, and judge approx. how far you were, all you have to do if provide reasonable doubt.

A friend that owns a shop lost his license for 6 months (hes 27) for doing 163 in a 55 down I-95 at 2 am. LOL I dont think he even triend to give an ecuse, oo btw he was on his Ducati, it wasnt in a stang.
 
Take it to court I just got one 3 days ago $179 53 in a 30 mile zone taked to two of my cop friends they say take it to court the should reduce the fine and no pionts. Un fortunatly they don't work in the same area where i got the ticket so the can't do much for me. Just take it to court if your lucky the cop won't show up if not pleed no contest. they will reduce the fine and no points at least thats what they told me. South Florida tho don't know if thats what they will do for you. good luck.
 
I have heard from several people officers and non alike that alot of police's are told not to pruse a sports bike doing over 120 becasue it's so easy for them to run and they won't catch up.

Also my frist ticket was 92 in a 45...47over and i got a $320 ticket and 1 point which i took traffic school for...i was lucky that one of the officers talked the other out of impounding my car and arresting me...I had (6-8 squad cars behind me i counted 6 people that drove by told me 8) anywaise i have faught tickets and won and for you i think thats the only way to go, hope the cop dosen't show up and make your life easy.
