i was being REAL stupid, visiting my friend up by the Palisades, the cop said i was doing 95mph in a 45mph zone, that 55 over the limit so thats 11 points right? and a suspended license? this really sucks, STUPID STUPID STUPID... plead guilty or not? i dont think i was goin 95 but thats wat the cop said...

 

AT That level your best bet is plead no tguilty and get a lawyer, take it from someone thats been there numerous times, pleading not guilty and goin alone is sealing your fate befor you even get there

 

yes 11 points is an instant suspension. Make sure everything written on the ticket is correct, if something is wrong (plate number, street name, etc...) you have a shot. gl

let this be a lesson

 

i think you should consider yourself lucky. 50 over the limit...i am surprised he didn't haul you in.

and always plead not guilty. they will most likely ;et you plead down to a lower offense.

 

i should smack u upside the head for not calling me. I gather it was a state trooper that got u? u need to call me. ill call my boy. if i cant get it dropped ill definetly get it reduced.

 

Damn...that's definately stupid but I was in the same boat as you at one point. Before I got my box I got pulled over doing 90 in a 60...in VA 90 is the cutoff for locking you up if you're doing anything over 90 they haul you in, no questions asked. The dude called in another officer to arrest me but luckily it was my first moving violation ever so they let me go. You've got a few years on me so your insurance company shouldn't rape you as bad as they're bending me over right now.

I'll tell you what everybody has told me over and over again...you should have asked to see the radar!! haha

 

yup. i was speeding on the bronx river pwky and they just locked me up. but they were cool about it. didnt even give me a ticket. just the headache of the cell. (which i rather take than having points go on my license) I always fight everything cops always reduce it.

 

oh wait .... I just saw that you're only 17...you better pray to God... insurance is gonna love you

 

Yeah, I should have got a lawyer that time I was doing 88 in a 55 about 20 years ago. I ended up needing high risk insurance and didn't know it...never even heard of it. So next time I got pulled over, I got....well....bent over.

 

Doesn't it make sense to just obey the laws of the road?
Instead of offering up all these lame and pathetic excuses and ways to "beat the system", seems to me that you can avoid all
this by just following the rules.

 

You'll need this:


and these:




But, all joking aside, I would recommend going with a lawyer. And about the insurance, yeah, you might want to prepare yourself so that you're not too shocked to see your premiums almost double. Good luck

 

couldn't have said it better

 

Once i got ticket w/radar,went to court pleaded not guilty,judge says whats this?
I explained I felt PRESSURED to encrease my speed bc car behind me was so close.
Ofcourse cop was not present its RADAR!!Judge let me go
hope this is not too late

Let us know what comes of it!

 

don't shower in the corner and if the soap drops...forget it! Trust me don't even look at it

this man obviously knows from experience

 

OUCH!

 

so i went to the hearing, it was awhile ago, just updating the thread i guess. it wasnt even a real hearing, it was a plea hearing, and the judge told me i didnt have to go since i already mailed it in! she said i should get a letter from them in the mail telling me wen the real hearing should be, and she said probably in 2007!!! i went crazyyyyyy
