Traffic school. This will avoid points but still pay the fine. Was your buddy speeding?

Alternatively, they can contact one of the ticket clinic attorney offices. They specialize in this.

How much over? Is your friend a dick? Anything memorable about the stop? Speeding only or additional violations?

If he wasn't annihilating the speed limit, just show up and hope the DA makes him a deal to avoid the points.

love the details about the ticket

[Whostheboss]

i've gotten tons of speeding tickets.

i check off the ticket that i'm innocent and i wish to fight this ticket in court.

- When i get to court, i've used ideas such as: my car is equipped with GPS monitoring system with shows my top speed/average speed/distance traveled etc. when i got home my top speed was (whatever speed limit - 3mph). The magistrate usually looks baffled and lets me go without asking for solid evidence. Seriously, they receive hundreds of speed violators a day that they don't give a fuck about letting a few violators walk off.

- Another option (Here in CT) They can offer me to pay the ticket price to a charity, which puts no points on my license.

Sorry, was driving. To sum it up. He got onto the on ramp then started to get to speed. He notice the cop (to late at that point) outside his car point the rader gun at him. Pulled over and said to my friend he was going 90mph but will write him down as going 85

Lol he's a regular dude, not a d bag. Respected the cop and told him he didn't realize he was going 90.

He wasn't exactly "cruising" or he'd be like the guys in the other 5 lanes without tickets.

He can either do traffic school and pay the fines, or request a few extensions and try to get a court date around a major holiday. If he didn't stand out in any way, he may get lucky and the officer will be a no show. If he stood out and isn't lucky, it'll be extra pay for the officer and your friend may be able to reduce his fine depending on the commissioner or judge.

Why's that?

Why will a police man say you're doing 85mph if you're doing 90? That's pointless, you're over the speed limit so you've violated the law.
Although sometimes it'll matter how much over you go but that's when you're going excessively fast ( 110mph+)
That 5mph doesn't do shit in court

If the speed limit was 70 there is probably a difference between 15 over rather than 20 over.

[IWishIOwnAnM3=]]

Speed limit is 65mph in SoCAl so not sure why the cop picked him. I'm guessing empty road?

[shawnj]

My last ticket was 103. Would have been 6 month suspension, not sure how many points and a $1,200. I used some traffic lawyers and they got it down to 1 point, $280 fine and no suspension.


:Edit This was in SD

Yea true but i doubt it's 70mph

[RickFLM4]

Maybe a difference between 20 over and 25 over? Not sure.- just guessing. We have 65 and 70 in different places in FL.

Considered reckless driving. Actually did driver a favor writing for 85mph. Been there, done that.

It didn't do a thing except raise his fine about $120. If he wrote it for 80, then it means he was a nice guy.

Not true. There's a lot of interpretation open for CVC 23104(?) or was that 23103?? I forget...but it's not a preset MPH over.
