speeding tickets suck
 

so i go to College Of Dupage in IL....and there is this sweet S curve and then a nice straight away....so i am taking the turn at around 60-65mph and then come out of the apex doing around 75-80....i then start to slow down because 1/8th mile ahead was a stop light. so i am slowin down to around 70mph and i see cherries right about these two bushes with a hole in the middle of the bushes. i went passed the cop doin 10 over and i didnt even notice him and then he pulls me over and gives me a ticket for doing 69mph in a 30mph. i was like fuuuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkkk. so does ne1 know how much its goin to be? and this is deff. not the first offence......am i looking over $200-$300 in fines? this sucks

shitty

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

or a neglegence? But as long as they didnt handcuff you and give you a free swad car ride it should only be like a 2nd degree or something like that

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

did he have u clocked at 69mph? if he was going by eye then he doesn't have ---- on you. admit to 4mph over

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

where do you live if you go to COD? I'm in Oak forest. anyway if you need a lawyer, I know a good one pm me if you want his info. He got a friend out of reclous driving and a few people out of dui.

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

Wow, 69 in a 30? Youre probably looking at a lot more than a little 200$ fine. I had one for 88 in a 65 (only 23 over, not even close to 39 over) and after all was said and done, I shelled out $410 plus traffic school. I got pulled over last Friday doing 88 in a 75 and the cop said he wasnt going to ticket me, but if he did it would be "almost $400". I think he was probably full of ---- just trying to scare me, but still. I wouldnt be suprised if you got ------- community service or something.

I dont know about other places but in nevada, if the cop writes the ticket and you sign it, youre fucked. Whatever the ticket says, thats how fast you were going, no question. You do have the right to ask to see the cop's radar with the speed readout on it though, so they can't completely ---- you over(My dad got pulled over for 51 in a 40, so he checked the gun and it said 49. Cop let him off cuz he knew he got caught being a chicken fucker)
Point is, cop can just say he gunned you doing 69 and you cant do ---- about it.

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

117 in a 55 cop said he had to do over 90 to catch me after i slowed down. so ticket for 90 in a 55 = $200. more to the story but the sums it up basiaclly.

NEUMAN

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

Try doing 100 in a 45 my friend..my friend who got this would be royally fucked if it wasnt for his dad being a cop.

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

I got careless driving here in Jersey.

West Caldwell to be exact. It was suppose to be 2 points on Insurance, but I pleaded guilty and court and the fine was ------ $440.00

I'd rather pay a fine than get points on my insurance. But I thought wow, 440.00 bucks for my first offense was rediculous. I felt like I had just gotten raped and couldn't do nothing about it.

I think it depends what town it was in. West Caldwell is a more suburbanish kind of richer area, so I guess that explains the bigger fines, but holy ---- was I surprised.

Anyway I have another court day coming up at the end of this month for a No Turns ticket I got. It is also points but like I said I would rather pay a fine then get points on my License, and have to deal with Insurance, and higher insurance rates, etc. This happened in another area though.

I really hope I'm not paying more than 275 for this one.

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

Insurance will find out about the ticket regardless of points or no points. The only way they won't is if you get it dropped completely.

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

i might need one...this is pretty high....it was also right next to a school building at around 3:30pm. so if that guy thinks he can get me out of this ---- than i will for sure get his info.

i know i was going that fast to so i dont think i can question it. I got the ticket in glen ellyn.

Re: speeding tickets suck

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

lol noice avatar :P

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

i have to find more roads around me i can tear apart

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

Hope you asked the cop if you can have a look at the radar he used to nail you.
many times they make ---- up eg. some random speed, and if they cant proof the speed you were doing they cant do ----. ^-^

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

i never asked him. would i be able to say something like that at the traffic court? i don't want to come off disrespectful and get my car crushed or some ----.

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

Yeh definately , its your full right to ask for the proof.
Best thing is to ask to have a look at the speed radar at the time of event.

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

the cop doesnt have to show you anything. All he has to do is tell the judge he calibrated his gun be4 and after his shift. My neighbor was a cop, he would just tell me to fight it and hope the cop doesnt show up to court

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

you dont have anything to worry about, once you have 2 driving on a susp DL, 1 driving w/o DL, wreckless(89/55), and 12 points on your DL and you are going to court for the 3rd driving on a susp then complain

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

so what if the cop does show up for court, and i am like....i dont think i was going that fast and then he will prolly ask the cop right? and then its my history of speeding tickets and the cop against me. so i dont think its going to work

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

cop doesnt show they have no way to prove you guilty

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

All I have to say is ------ pigs. I lost my license 3 times and I finally got it back and I refuse to speed anymore. ---- that. All it causes is $,$, and headaches. My suggestion is to slow down, pay the fucker or get it dismissed, and try your hardest not to get in any more trouble. It only gets worse I'm tellin ya.

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

There are many ways to fight tickets. You can start by subpoenaing (sp?) all the documents relative to the case. It is my understanding that many prosecutors do not believe that traffic case defendants have the right to discovery and we do. I say we because I am preparing to fight a ticket. If the prosecution fails to provide documents you can possibly get the case dismissed. Another thing is that you have the right to a speedy trial. In most states that means 45 days from the time you set your court date. So if the prosecution doesn't give you the documents you request and you show up to court and they try to reschedule your trial date so you can have time with the documents requested, you can ask for the case to be dismissed because the time frame would violate your right to a speedy trial. Do some research its all here on the web.

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

how do i obtain info on what they have against me?
how do i go about saying this(what do you have against me)?
will it be pointless if the cop is there and i ask this?
what if the cop is there because I was going 69 in a 30....so he will prolly be there.

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

i got arrested 2 months ago for speeding
double the speedlimit-middle of the night
fucker was just jelous i was in a nicer car than he would ever have
"is this daddys car?"
no bitch i bought this thing myself

i swear all they want is money - it's all a big revenue thing
pay your fines swallow your pride and don't speed unless you're V1/Lidatek equiped
- you learned the hardway

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

how would u know if he did it by eye or if he clocked it? i too have a cas this month for speeding.

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

i would like to know this as well

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

if it was reckless you would of gotten arrested on the spot I did and I'm in illinois also you have to be doing 40 over to get it so i'm thinking thats why he gave you 39 over I think your looking at 150-200 cause 21 mph and under is only $100

Re: speeding tickets suck
 

ya but this is different....i know i am going to get fucked over
