Well I didn't realize it but, I was speeding 65 mph in a 50 on the highway, how can the speed limit be 50 mph on a highway? Anyways, is there a way to pay the ticket but not get it on your record (for car insurance puposes). I'm trying to figure out some pleading strategies that will work when I see the Judge next month. I already got one, I almost got in an accident with a big rig after it swerved into my lane to make it onto the off ramp, so I was shaken up (think thats good enough to get the ticket knocked down a bit).
Advice please. |

hey..
kinda of funny you brought this up as im going to see the judge on may 5th for a speeding ticket.. i was going 94 on a 55... i got away with just a 385 dollar ticket considering how fast i was going.. but my advice.. when u go to court... do dress nice, and on time... and when its your turn to go up (from past experences, there will be a lot of people waiting to see the judge)... just act yourself... dont try to say something that will make you look like your full of crap.. i remember i went to a judge once, and some guy made up some stupid story that hi speedometer was broken and he didnt know he was going 112 MPH, on a bike. be polite, and say 'yes, your honor' after she tells you something or you tell her something.. since this is your first offence... the judge will probally give you the option of going to traffic school, if not, request it.. something like 'i would also like to know ifi would be eligible for traffic school, your honor'.. traffic school will take your points of your driving record... and the insurance company only looks at your driving record... so youll be good with insurance... keep in mind tho... your records will show that you got a ticket. for up to 5 years (in CA anyways) .. not your driving record... just your record.. and insurance companies wont look at that... also.. if you cant afford the whole ticket at once... also ask the judge if you can pay the fine in installments... most of the time the judge will give you a price to pay per month... if you still cant pay it... tell her that you cant... explain why....and request a lower installment for a longer term.. if youre polite... then most of the time they will give it to you... well thats all i can think of right now... i hope this helps a lil... by the way.. im an MP.. so i know a lil bout the system (not a whole lot.. but enough) ![]() ![]() well good luck with the ticket... and dont stress bout it... youll be fine... -darryll |
