Celica Forums General Discussion General 91mph in a 65mph

so i was driving home from PA...to VA...and a cop clocked me going 91...dead serious i wassent trying to go that fast...but i cant change what happend...so my question is...after i pay the 275$ fine to Maryland...how do i get my insurance to go down...? If i cant get it to go down...I have to sell my Celica...and i cant part with her...:( any advice would be very helpfull...just please dont tell me im stupid...i know! i am

ur insurance will go up... but you can change companies to a cheaper one if you really dont wanna sell ur celica.

yea i can do that...i just talked to this guy and he said to take a class to lower my points...whould that help?

CAn't you take driving school and get it off you record?

As long as the ticket is between 1-30 mph over the marked speed limit, you should be able to go on court Supervision for 3 months and it will never get onto your record (thats if you have been ticket free for one year.)
Why is your ticket 275 dollars?
In IL between 20-30mph over is only a 95 dollar ticket.

Sure they are different opinions on here...
here's my view:

Just Paying ticket=Bending over to PoPo
Court Supervision=Chain around your neck
Enlisting Attorney=Smart Move!

Me:
that's a good question because I'm curious on it too, and the guy who brought it up has yet to answer my latest questions (if you scroll up). But all in all, even if it is true what he is saying, I still see it as losing control of the situation by putting yourself at the mercy of the police and the courts. What if you DO get another ticket within those 90 days for BS reasons. Then you would be definitely screwed because both tickets would go on your record, and it would be much harder from then on to use an attorney to get rid of speeding tickets given your blemished record. I say go attorney from the very start, and always from then on. It's the surest route. I only have parking tickets on my record and my insurance has not gone up a penny.

Hmmm...was the first question the officer asked you "Are you RETARDED?"

It won't go up.

Maryland doesn't have reciprocity with Virginia.

yes they do .. almost everystate belongs to the NDLC

Maryland and Virginia don't.

... tell me where is says that, every site I've been too .. they do

nevermind, I did some research and I stand corrected.

Either way, I've gotten tickets before out of state, and nothing happened.

lol a 91 in a 65?

Darren, that might be true, but I got a ticket in VA once and nothing happened. I even called my insurance company and asked "dumb" questions like what ifs, and they said 99% of the time nothing happens with minor things like 1-3 pt tickets. However, DUI, DWI, 4+ points and things like that are reported.

It's all about staying below the radar.

true I'll give you that, but it doesn't mean that it can't happen. you were probably just a lucky one depending on what county you were in and such

and for the record 91 in a 65 isn't "minor"

lol no it's not, and my guess is it would be reported.

not in cali..its more like 300 over here
