ok so saturday night i was just chillin at my boy's house when my friend challenges me to a race. he drives a 4 door saturn so i was like ok this will be no prob. so we get on the highway and go down to where it's 3 lanes across each way. there was a bit of traffic so we couldn't get next to each other so after a ways we turn around to go the other way and we got next to each other at a light. i started revin my engine and sh*t when he rolls down his window and points out a cop. so the light turns green and we just go like normal. we get up to the next light only this time there is a jetta vr6 that was all hooked up in between us. i looked around saw no cops so when the light turned we all took off(the jetta smoked us) the next thing i know we are braking for the light ahead of us when i hear a siren and those see wonderful flashing lights in my mirror. the cop pulled all three of us over (there just happened to be a nice little parking lot). he comes up to each of our windows and takes a lisence and reg. and ins. goes back to his car and starts writting. about half an hour later he comes back to the window and tells me to sign the ticket. (i was expecting a like 300 dollar fine.) i sign it then i read it its a 1000 dollar fine and 6 month suspension. i got f*cked my friend got the samething plus 100 bucks fornot having his lisc. on him. the moral of the story is don't street race. i guess i learned it the hard way and i hope you guys don't have too. hopefully when i got to court they will knock it down(i want everyone to say their prayers for me) sorry the story is so long i had to vent though.

Maybe this isn't as bad but I got a 49 in a 35 speeding as well as uneccessary acceleration on my permit...i needed to pass a semi that was spitting rocks at me so it was kinda logical....and the cop said I'd prolly not get my license til I was 18. I went to court, by this time I had my license for the ticket was only in the court systems, and I got a lawyer (which cost a total of $675) and got to keep my license and be on "driving probation" for 6 months from the court date. So until July 23rd I'm on probation, but at least I can drive. Hopefully you can get the money together and get a lkawyer to file some nice papers for you. If you got caught in the same county you live in, then your lawyer should only have to write one paper to the county's attorney and just ask for a plea adjudication of 6 months...or 12 months if your lawyer thinks that will be better chance of getting it granted. I hope everything works out.

Just remember, street racing is fun, but only in areas where there is no people. Even if people come up to me and rev at me to race....I don';t. I wanna make sure no one's really around...and the worst is when they rev at me in school zones...I get pissed then. Just be careful and glad you learned your lesson.
