Just got a ticket. Help.
Me and my friend were out driving in his car. We got pulled over for speeding. The cop clocked us going 45 in a 25. 16 year old driver. How much is he looking at paying for the ticket? This is probably going to get locked, I know that, but I was gonna see if I could get some answers before it was.
Thanks,

Well since we all don't live in your state or have seen the ticket. The price could vary. He should suck it up and stop speeding, obviously you must have been in a residential area. Oh...and your friend.

It doesn't say mandantory court appearce, it just gives a date. It was in a neighbor hood. I almost did slap him, cause I got frisked by the cop. Wat would be your guess, around $200 or more? I don't think I've ever seen him drive the speed limit, this is just the first time he got a ticket.

...but anyway, isn't there a program(s) that you can take and get the points taken off your record?

Does the offense part of the ticket say "speeding" or "reckless driving". You need to check your state laws and see what is considered reckless. A speeding ticket is not the biggest deal, you may pay up to a $400 fine and 4 points on your record. Reckless however can cost you your license.
I got an 84 in a 55 once.. hired a lawyer. Ended up paying $700+, taking a driver improvement course, yet somehow no points (wtf?). Learned my lesson from that.

This is all not to mention the increase in insurance. The insurance will go thru the roof with a 16 year old, speeding double the speedlimit in a residential... your friends ticket will probably be the cheap part on this one.

In NY...11 points your pulled off the road...ive had somewhere near that. Highest I ever got clocked at is 80 in a 50, Ive almost always been given a break, and the cop writes a ticket for lower than I was going (not that big of a break) Id say you're lookin at 3 points and $100-$200 if it were in NY.
