But, isn't that what lawyers do? I didn't know there was another use for them...

put your flame suit on because noone speeds here and they all use their turn signals.

I have paid the price before too, it will pass and if you are lucky, they won't kill you with points at the end.

Maybe the lawyer will get the load lightened some, but I know here 26 over and they can take your license. Speeding is so easy and you can do it so quick in these cars you really have to control yourself.

Im sure you knew you were doing 34 over the limit. Unless you are stupid, you know you can push the speed limit 10 maybe 15... still against the law but most states allow this latitude.. You really have no bitch...you just pushed it way too far... is it possible it will help your choice to push it too far.... if the lawyer gets you off, you will still have to pay him...

Way too fast for a 55 mph zone
Could understand more if it was maybe in a 70 mph zone.
