OK - I wrote a few weeks ago about getting a speeding ticket at 116mph. I lucked out on the ticket b/c I had been going much faster than that, so really 116 wasn't that bad - but I am 16. The worst part of it was my parents. Now to me, I was more concerned with losing my license (It was 51 over, check your driver's manual, that is minimum 90 day suspension) then any of the fines or insurance. After a ton of research I found the best possible lawyer I could here in town for traffic court - I gave him the ticket, explained the situation and he told me not to go to court. Well, I am out of court now, I don't know how it went b/c my parents don't want me to know (just to keep my friends from going that fast - you follow?) and the only thing I got was a $376 bill from the lawyer which includes the ticket if I got one. I still have my license, and my insurance didn't go up - so I believe that nothing happened, that it got dismissed in court. I had no excuse or plea, but somehow having an awesome lawyer helped - I would definately suggest getting one if you were going to be in the kind of trouble I was (I also had someone in the car with me when I got pulled over so I could have had attempted manslaughter charges (for 45+ over the speed limit w/ someone in the car) - I am glad it is over! Just thought I would let you all know what happened in court after I talked about my ticket earlier...

good deal at least you still got your license

Yeah, in most cases, all you need is money and you're home free. One of my lawyers charges a flat fee of $200 bucks for tickets 25 mph and under (mine was 24 over). He goes to court for you and gets it dismissed. Clean record! :D It's all about who you know and how much money you got.

Good. Hope you've learned a lesson from all this. nm

Agreed. /aac |
