Get a lawyer and hope they dont take your license away from you.

Seems like all the legal stuff and advice has been covered so I'll add...
1. Dress appropriatley to court. Wear a suit
2. Listen to the judge and be respectful of the court
3. Don't argue with the prosecutor, officer, or judge
4. Tell the truth and be humble and apologetic

I can tell you what they did to me with a 110mph in louisiana, I am 21, i know I'm going to get hounded for this but it was 5 am in the morning clear interstate had the cruize control on. anyway he pulled me over wrote me up for 110 said dont worry about it you wont go to jail, I said look im not stupid anything over 90 you go to jail for. he walked off.

I got a lawyer went to court judge said 10 days in jail with fines ect. 10 days got reduced to 5 days in jail, 5 days in jail got reduced to 5 days 8-4. I didnt have to pay anything, lawyer helped he was a friend so it was free.

First day of 8-4 I got locked up in the "bird cage" for the day of 8-4
2nd day drove around with other 8-4 people picking up refridgerators from katrina.

It didnt even go on my record because of the 8-4.
pm me and ill tell you what a cop told me to do next time if I get caught doing 100+mph

 

i've had my share of appearances for traffic violations ( i almost always appear in court) and you won't believe how much importance judges pay to item #1 above. they have come straight out and told people that they would've gotten off lighter had they put an ounce of effort into it and shown some respect for the court system and what it represents. some people love to "take a stand" and show their disrespect for the _____ (judge, officer, DA...whatever) by showing up all grungy and with a "i couldn't care less" attitude. unless you truly don't care, that's the WRONG place to try and make a statement.
GL with this, you're going to need some (not spoken from personal experience <knock hard on wood>)

 

Because a lot of us get tired of hearing people preaching. It is quite refreshing not to have heard that tired old phrase "save it for the track" until now.

 

My take on this is similar; it's not the person that is right who wins in court, it is the person with the most money.

 

Say Buzz, you absolutely kill me, why don't you do standup comedy? Produce a movie or something, we all need a good laugh.

 

I've always just paid tickets. What's the big deal? I see it as a very small price to pay for freedom

When I was younger I used to keep 2 or 3 speeding tickets on my record. One would fall off and another would appear. I've only had warnings for about a decade now. Might have something to do with the graying hair? Perhaps they feel like they're giving their dad a ticket Or maybe they just think there's only hope of influencing your behaviour while you are still young? Hard to say.

Don't use excuses. Be painfully honest, freindly, and smile a lot. Why was I going so fast? I tell them "No hurry, I always drive this way". I think that last state cop must have thought I was out of my mind when he finally pulled up along side I didn't take the cruise off. Haha, I saw him sneaking on me from a half mile back. Nice kid, it was a pleasure to meet him.

The only dangerous part about speeding is missing the non-speeders when they slam on their brakes everytime they see a cop. Apparently their fear knows no bounds. If this fits your description you will be happy to know I am driving slower these days. But it's because I want to lengthen my travel time in the Vette, not because you think you can force me to.

 

you have a pm

 

A Vette going 100+ may deserve a ticket.....what is DANGEROUS is an SUV doing the same

 

About showing respect:

My favorite story is about a guy a friend knows - when sentenced to 6 months for burglery the guy says "I can do that standing on my head".

To which the judge replied:

"Then let's make it 9 months, and give you some time to get back on your feet".

 

 

This thread seems to have run its coarse...hopefully, this isn't considered a highjack...
...another true story...back in the early 70's with Vietnam winding down, I was patrolling a nameless AZ university town known for it's "hippy radicals".
I passed a character and looked in my mirror to see him flip me a bird and shout "Remember the Pueblo! Then he took off running. (If you're to young to know about the Pueblo, do the research).
I turned around, found and asked the "gentleman" if he had something he wanted to say to me. He took a swing. He went directly to the judge broken nose and all.
The "gentleman" told the judge it was his right. The judge agreed and said a LEO cannot be offended. The judge suspended the jail time, but fined him $50 for swinging at me.
The "gentleman" looked at the judge and flipped him a finger, again with "Remember the Pueblo!". I laughed, the judge didn't think it was funny, but he was an appointed PITA.
The judge ordered me to arrest the "gentleman". I laughed again...even harder..."if I can't be offended, neither can you", I said.
I found a better place to work shortly afterwards.

 

Here is something --
You are young and you will put this behind you.
I did some really bad stuff some time ago, and now it is in my past, and I survived it!
There are worse things that could have happened. You could have crashed, gotten killed, or killed someone else. But none of that happened, so you'll be fine.
Just don't do it again..

 

I cannot believe this thread is still running. I thought you would have already gone to jail and been out by now!!!

 

 

I always justify MY actions, like driving fast for instance, by making sure no one else is involved. If I go off the side of the road, mea culpa.

If it's long, straight and the weather's good, I figure that's why the gas pedal exists. As to endangerment of the innocent, I'm four square for knocking the pins out from under those folks who do. There's no difference to me whether it's a cop who just feels like it or a teenager mad with power.

If you examine speed limits it would seem that a drive in Nevada would allow for true high speed cruising. Yet the limit is the same as the Jersey turnpike. Irrational laws are not to be obeyed by rational people. You authoritative personalty types never have caught on to this. I figure if my employees, legislaters, pass nut-bag laws, I have no compunction to obey them. I feel that I will avoid direct confrontation whenever possible but there's no moral imperative to buckle under to morons.

Not unless you can not see them as such.
