Celica Forums General Discussion General SPEEDING TICKET

I was going 122 according to the cop! He got me for speeding and reckless driving! im 16 with 2 points on my license. What is the best way to get off the easiest please help me and dont just post to call me a dumbass?

Thanks

holy shit 122! i was pulled over last weak for goin 88 but he gave me a 300 dollar ticket. i had a radar detector too. umm i would say your best bet is to either get a good lawyer and make up a reason for speeding or ... don't know

Don't know if you CAN get out of that. Be happy you still have a license

how much do lawyers run for a good one?

they said they are taking my license and i go to court in a month what can i do to get off the easiest???
please im in enough trouble with my parental units?

If you were going 122 mph your not gonna get off easy. I know kids who went over 100 mph and got their license taken away because of it. I don't want some kid driving that fast that could end up losing control and end up killing me, my friends or family members. Especially since you are just learning how to drive. Whatever punishment you get you deserve.

tell your parents that you were being a fool, and that this speeding mayhem would not happen again. say" i've damn learned my lesson and i feel ever so penitent of my brash action." maybe that'll help with the parents. if not...talk about the time when one or both of your parents got tickets for speeding ( if they had any)
as for the ticket and getting your liscence taken away...tell them you need to go to school everyday and that you have no other way of getting there...my sister got her liscence taken away, but they allowed her to drive only to school and home, thats it. (better that not driving at all) but if they caught her on a different route or far from the school area, then she would have been fucked. so if you get to keep your liscence to drive to school, dont take advantage of it and drive halfway across state. then no-one could help you... well thats all I have to say. I cant guarantee all of this but worked for my sis. oh yeah and be sure to put on a sorry face when you see the judge. he might pity you.

Get a lawyer, pay $50-$100 for their services, get no points on your license, and pay a fine.

Case closed.

any expert out there on what to do leagal wise?

anything over 100 is reckless endangerment.

was caught doing 115 in a 65. total was a fine of 400 dollars 1 point and a 300 dollar attorney fee i was 22 at the time.

since your young and where doing 122 all i can say is bring a bottle of vaseline and get a lawyer. i wouldnt be surprised if they took your license or restricted you to only drive to school and back. and a heavy fine.

if you go to court which you prob wud..just admit you did it and dont argue..might get points for honesty and if lucky pity

i dont have anyy good legal advice but my friend got caught doing the same thing and they took away her liscence until she turns 18...so hopefully they dont do the same to you, im out here in cali so the law might be different
good luck

Get representation, your probably gonna get a 1 year suspension & then when you get it back, you won't be able to afford the insurance for about 4 years. Enjoy what time you have left driving around & wait for your court date.

If you were going anywhere near 122 mph you are a tragic headline waiting to happen, headed for some major life issues. so I hope theres a challenging lesson somewhere in your
immediate future

My lawyer back in new york was good and charges me a min of 250 per ticket but thats for normal speeding and such. Id expect you to pay at least 400 for a ticket that big cause the lawyers really gonna have to work the DA down.

Bring the KY, because your age group is not looked at very well anywhere in court. Better be on your best behavior and beg for forgiveness + ask if there is anyway you could pay a fine or do community service, volunteer for anything they ask. Not to mention your insurance rate is going to go thru the roof if they find out.

Trust me this comes from a guy that used to speed all the time, had nine speeding tickets when I had my 280Z year ago. Don't get me wrong I still speed but not to often. I only do it where it's controlled. Once on a very long bridge with no other cars and the other thru a tunnel with no other cars.

Another thing to do is write a letter to the police officer, make sure you are very professional. Get it to him before court, tell him you where a fool and played to many video games, get your parents help if needed.

see if you can take traffic school

He's only sixteen. There's no way he's only gonna get a four point ticket. You'll get two more points(8) when you turn eighteen. But that's pretty much useless at this point. Going over 100, like stated above, is reckless endangerment. Espescially if it was in Denver.

Bottom line: it sounds bad, but you can kiss your license goodbye, whether or not you have a lawyer. Save that money for some other use. You'll hafta take traffic school whether or not you want to.

Also,I noted that you're from Colorado too. Same here. The cops here are absolute fucks. I got a 6 pointer going 80 in a 55. I went to class, and got it dropped to a two pointer. That's being an 18 yr old who had a clean record. There was a pretty fat fine attached too. 122 in a what zone? Where at?

Damn your losing your license for sure.
But thats good, you could have killed someone.

on I 76 in a 75

holy crap and your in colorado too!

You might as well bend over and take it in the ass. Yeah it's gonna hurt because going 122 mph is like dropping the soap in the slammer. Most likely your going to get fucked very hard! Not smart

^^ chopper challenge fucker!

you beat me at everything else except chopper challenge bitch!

Edit: Oh, and I tied your counter strike score

dude, ur kinda screwed. thats too fast for a 16 year old. just be glad that ur still here and not in prison first heh. i guess you gotta find someone to clear up ur record so insurance and all that wont go sky rocket

That one of the reason why i dont speed or race man. I dont want to deal with the law. Good Luck Man, You gonna need it

rofl @ played too many video games

Well thanks guys! I am going to a lawyer tomarrow, and going to ask for a pleabargain, and offer to take classes, community service and see if i can get a restricted license

You do not deserve to be anywhere near a car!

I can't believe you are even persuing to get a restricted license to drive again... You could have killed someone! Honestly I don't care if you get killed but someone I know might have gotten killed along with your reckless driving... If you want to speed that much... Then take it to the track where people know they are at risk... Don't endanger other people's lives so you can go 122 mph in your car...

Btw... Say hi to insurance for me... It's people like you who keep jacking up the premiums and forcing teens to shell out more for insurance (And Celica owners)...

uh huh

im on a corperate policy which has 100 plus vehicles on it. so insurance isnt a problem

^^^ But, young reckless drivers (i.e. you) are the reason the rest of us pay such horrible insurance rates

16 yr old kid going 125 mph hit a girl and killed her. this was about 6 months ago, and about a month ago the judge found him guilty, and that kid's life is not pretty now. he won't goto jail, but his license is restricted to shcool only, has to drive a lower powered car, and bumpersticker htat warns other drivers.

saw it on the news

going 125 and hit a girl?

lol, either the guy was stupid going 125 in the city or the girl was stupid walking on the highway...

its not really easy to go 125 in the city ...

^^ that better be restricted for the rest of his life. damn i cant believe he doesnt even get locked up for a couple months. Hopefully his conscience will punish him enough for the rest of his life. and either way the guy is still stupid

Yeah, definetely kiss your licesne goodbye.

122-75=47. Not to mention the reckless as well. You're required to appear in court going 20 over. Like someone else said...you just dropped the soap in the slammer's shower. Bend over and scream into a pillow.

i hope you lose ur license

wear a suit and tie for the court date...whatever will help

not that it will help much...seriously I don't think any judge will have pity on a 16 year-old driving 122 MPH.

You don't deserve your Celica...by driving recklessly you only help people to give this car and its drivers a bad rep. I drive like everyone will judge every other Celica based on how I drive, because that's what they do.

Thanks for the higher insurance premiums.

I don't know if you have it in your state, but in my state, we have the option to defer any tickets. Hope that helps!

Damn it no wonder my insurance is so high.

dude you were going 122 why did you stop.. thats my question? but oh well

You're a dumbass, period.

Not even a lawyer can help you, kiss your license goodbye.

alright kid...I work for an attorney and run the office here in Atlanta...this is the scoop...YOUR LICENSE IS GONE!!!...unless you read the paragraph I typed below... Most courts seriously look down on triple digit speeds, and taking away a license for 6 months to a year is nomally the penalty as well as your new insurance bill is going to annihilate you.

However...if you were try to weasel out of it, try this...it works...go to a defensive driving school before the court date, and have the completion certificate walking into the court room. Also, get a lawyer...honestly it wil be somewhere between $350 and $500...any more than that and your getting railed...As for the court date, check this out...Most courts will let you plead guilty, not Guilty or what is called NOLO Contendere to a plea...the last one is setup here in GA, but most states and legal systems have a setup like that. You get 1 Nolo Plea every 5 years, and what it means is that you are not saying you are guilty, and you are not saying that you are not...it will keep your license and you won't have any points assessed against you (no high insurance bill)...but remember, you only get one every 5 years according to most of the states that have somethinglike this set up...Good luck...and yes, you are a dumbass for driving anywhere near that on a trafficed highway

we have the defer option what is it though?

SAme thing as the NOLO plea probably...call an attorney and ask them...they should be able to tell you without actually having an appointment set...

I doubt that will work in this case, usually both the cop and prosecutor have to agree to that.

what was your reason for going so fast, cause I dont think there would be a reason good enough to explain you for going so fast. SLOW DOWN

i thought CA had hella laws on speeding, 122 and only 1-2pts?, here in md that like 8pts and getting your license revoked, not too mention like a 1000$ fine

AZZKIKR, you got any advice on what I'd do for a car accident?? Or what might happen? PM instead of posting here.

hook up with him...
the best advice, don't speed...
