NTMD8R_SS Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Well i was coming down the higway not a car in sight so i was f**k it i was bearly flooring it and shit the lights in the rear view mirror (note to self: pick up a radar)i was clocked at 83mph on a 60 mph highway. Well the officer gave me a ticket and im kinda scared cus its 23 mph diffrence. This is my first time being pulled over for anything (im 19). So does anyone know how much the citation will be?

xlr82sxs Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 usually if it's your first driving offense and you go to court, they'll either lower the number of points on your record and/or lower the cost of the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSTAL Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 On first offense got to court, date is assigned on your ticket, ask for a defered sentence. Which means you will have 3-6 month good behavior. This means you cant fart without permission. You pay the fine on the court date and after you complete the 6months probation, without tickets, they will throw it out. no points no insurance notifications. im on probation right now for 46 in a 25 good luck Radar detectors work i had mine on mute when i got pulled over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kissfans03ss Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I am not sure about Ct. law but it could get expensive like $10 for every mile over the limit so if your doing 90 in a 65 mph zone thats $250 greenbacks my friends.

NTMD8R_SS Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Well the officer just told me to call the court like in 5-6 days and i guess they will tell me what to do. To be honest i just want to get it over whit since i don''t want the parents to find out. So whats the damage gonna be to my record if i just pay the ticket? or should i got to court and say i want a difered sentence ( whitch by the way please tell me what to say cus im clueless on these kinds of things.) Well $250 is gonna delay my drop But i learned my lesson and I just want this behind me. Thanks for the helpfull comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zath Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Write a letter to your D.A. (District Attorney) explaining you can't afford such a high ticket and it was a mistake and you really wish they could drop the MPH for you because blah blah blah. Works. Buddy got clocked 86 in 65, DA dropped it to 74 in a 65.. was like a 150 dollar fine including court fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy got clocked 86 in 65, DA dropped it to 74 in a 65.. was like a 150 dollar fine including court fees. i wouldn't actually tell them "blah, blah, blah." lol but tell them you have learned your lesson and it was a mistake on your part but it will never happen again.. if you go that route.

NashSS Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 usually if it's your first driving offense and you go to court, they'll either lower the number of points on your record and/or lower the cost of the ticket. True, When I got my first speeding ticket I was doing 68 in a 45 a 23 difference and when I went to court the city attorney came up and talked to me and lowered it to a 55 in a 45 so it was only 10 over. You should go to court and you'll plead guilty or not guilty and they should give you a number of the city prosecutor to call if you desire. My dad got a ticket and he just called the city attorney and figured it all out. Mine was almost exactly like your story I was leaving a friends house no one in sight so i went for it and sure enough here came the blue and reds behind me and it was my first speeding ticket as well. Dont worry you'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
