Yea, but not in his favor. But that's one argument you could get away with (doubting the judge will think much past it).

It doesn't take too much creativity to get tickets dropped in traffic court.

Ya that what I plan to do I know im also going to have a nice big fine along with it but not much I can do about it. :P Its ny all they want is your money.

Im pretty sure you can go to a non dmv traffic school and it does the same thing you just need the papers from the class, my bro had to do it once for the points reduction.

19 over is prolly good for 4 points, but they usually reduce it because the local court gets more money if they knock it down to a few seatbelt tickets (its actually some other loophole ticket now, something about a traffic device or something) But probably def at least a point or 2 along with a decent fine. I think I paid 150ish for 15 over. maybe a bit more

brick1234

did you get a trafic school option? or no

EG-prince

negative, traffic school is something you do on your own through the dmv. It knock off a point i think and like a 15% reduction in insurance

I went to court and didn't dress like a slob. when the cop was explaining how calibrated his gun was, the judge interupted and asked if I had anything to say before he let the cop finish. I politely told him i did not dispute the speeding and simply wanted a little lienency for insurance and such. judge cut it in half with no points, I got a little bit back for fines but no points kicked ***

and the larger tires would ---- up the spedo in your favor. If the spedo measures revs of the tranny, a large tire will have a larger circumference, therefore traveling a longer distance for the same rev aka going faster than it displays. Its always worth a shot there too, as long as you show a reciept for getting it 'fixed'

acting stupid will do nothing for you 'I didn't notice' is the worst excuse cause people are supposed to be alert and paying attention while they drive

My friend just got a ticket for 81 in a 65 construction zone with no construction workers. He bought the defensive driving video at blockbuster and took it before telling the court he took it. Now it won't dismiss the ticket, but he can use it to lower his insurance. And the cool thing about it is you can pass along the video to other people and they don't have to pay the upfront cost of buying the video. Only the charge for taking the test. And for some reason you can take this one more than once a year. Must be cuz texas is the ------- baddest state ever.

I tried the Speddo thing like 5 years ago and the judge looked at me and said oh wow i never heard that before. then said Ok lets say it wasnt working. then it would read 0 and you would know. so speeding ticket AND faulty equipment. he was a cool guy and let me off though.

I don't understand the tow truck on the island thing.

I drove for well over a year without a license (occasionally it would be valid for a few days before being revoked again) and when I finally got pulled over for my expired tag, which was about a year old, the car was impounded. Since then I have got everything straightened out and now drive legally.

I don't understand the point system in Alabama. Within a year I got over 20 tickets...actually around 30 now since January 2007, and license was suspended 4 times. Yet I now have a new one.

As far as playing dumb, if you have something illegal in the car (drugs, immigrants, moonshine), that's your best bet. As soon as you admit to a crime (like speeding) you are making it much easier to give them probable cause for searching, although it obviously depends on your local laws. You think cops always ask "do you know why I pulled you over" because it really matters if you do or don't? No.
