Had a court date on thursday for a 80mph in a 50mph violation (6pts). After waiting to talk to the district attorney for 3 hours, I get my shot. When I was pulled over, the officer said that he clocked a car next me doing 70, and watched me go past them. So this was basically an assumption of my speed, and he had no radar reading on me. I didn't argue with the officer, because I was obviously speeding. After telling this to the D.A., he took my 6 point ticket (around $3-400)and reduced it to a 2 point Defective Vehicle charge! $62 in fines and court costs, and I was on my way!! Just wanted to share

 

you wouldda got 6 points for that? i guess colorado is different

 

peruse (i did just cause i'm curious about stuff).

 

ah. i see. in cali we have 1 point and 2 point infractions.

odd that he got points for defective vehicle whatever the hell that means.

in colorado they just have more points available. and more points given per citation.

 

Defective vehicle is stuff like broken windshield, head/taillights, etc. It's what they always list a 2 point ticket as
