Speeding Tickets:Tips and Strategies?, I just got one help Options

[playr158]

Try this (I hear it used to work). When you pay your fine, write the check for 1 dollar over the amount (mail it in). The state will then cut you a check for 1.00 and mail it back. I hear that if you never cash the check, the file never closes and the points don't get added until all the financial transactions are complete. Good luck!

I've goten 2 tickets in my celica:

1. Competition for speed: Street racing down mainstreet.
2. Operating a moter vechile in a maner not proper: Peeling out of a parkinglot.

Neither one of these are on my record, here in Oklahoma you can ask to have your ticket "Deferd" which basicly means you pay an extra 50$ ontop of the ticket free and if you don't get in trouble for 30 days, it never gose on your record.

if the judge askes you how hast you were goining, tell him you were going at a safe and reasonable speed....dont tell him/her #'s

here in atlanta **** the cops be going 85 on a 55 and u just follow them or keep up atleast on 285 **** i go 90 all the way home and i never get a ticket. another key to not getting caught which might sound stupid but always look around ur mirrors when u are coming on a bridge merging on the road slow down a little then when u see there is no cop ur googd to go. then again there is so much traffic in atlanta if they is one staking out everyone puts on there brakes so. good luck

I love this forum!! its such a good thing you guys are around! you would think that after like 11 tickets and a suspended lisence and SO MUCH MOOLAH spent i would just try to get the case dropped if the cop wasnt there. it never really occured to me that I could do that! I had a court date on friday the 22nd in monroe NC, but i accidentally went to the one in sailsbury (i had a court date there for the 29th) I paid 110 in sailsbury for a 86 in a 60 got it lowered to a 74 in 60 and i may need to try to get it dropped in monroe since i missed the cort date. when i get it continued again maybe i'll do some fast talking eh? (even though dark secret says the cop that gave me the ticket is an arsehole. he also said that the guy be guesstimating speeds....hmmmm.

[easternpiro1]

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.

oh and by the way... if you want to avoid getting any more tickets...GET A RADAR DETECTOR! its grrrreat! ask plyr 158! theyre illegal in va, but mine isnt detectable! it saved our arses!

f&*#in va cops....

[urbandork]

HOw do u know if the officer who gave u the ticket is there or not? Will he be visible in the court room? Does the judge call him up? If hes not there will it be mentioned on the spot or do i have to summons him?

I live in CA Los angeles if that helps.

pay the extra $50 bucks or so.. sit through a traffic school class.. 8 hrs on saturday.. you watch goofy and some other lame videos and talk about how stupid people can be.. and listen to some of the stories of how people ran into buses etc... and why they are there... funny ****.. just a waste of 8 hrs..

but point doesn't go on your record and insurance stays the same.. and you can take the class again in 18 months...

that's what i've had to do..

Go to the clerk of courts office and tell them you missed your court date due to your job at the middle school, they should just reschedule a new date. I go almost a full year before going to court by doing that but I tell them Rhonda Miller (magistrate) told me I could.

In North Carolina the officer only goes to District Court cases were there is a judge, they normally sit in the front and are called up when the defendant is the one they ticketed. If the officer is fired, quit, or transferred it gets annouced then you plead innocent and get sent home.

ok check it out, THIS IS THE EASIEST WAY TO GET OUT OF A TICKET, simply call a traffic lawyer (i have mine on speed dial on my phone) usually it costs about $50, you pay him, he takes it to court, it always gets dismissed with no points on your license, unless your doing something extremly retarded (suchs as me, 123 in a 65 zone(yes in my stock celica)) anywho, find a lawyer, pay him the $$$ and your good to go. Oh ya, btw, you dont even have to show up, gg.

I wish I could find a lawyer for $50 in Charlotte, it's $500 a ticket here. I should have stayed in Orlando cops mess with you there but I never got a ticket.

Hey everyone. I have an idea. I fought my ticket from early august till now. I just got a letter in the mail saying they 'no longer wished to persue the case' so jus be a pain in their ass for a long time. total it cost me about $500

[94GT]

Try this (I hear it used to work). When you pay your fine, write the check for 1 dollar over the amount (mail it in). The state will then cut you a check for 1.00 and mail it back. I hear that if you never cash the check, the file never closes and the points don't get added until all the financial transactions are complete. Good luck!

^^ that is the biggest load of **** i ever heard

Who are you, the speeding ticket expert? This worked for my friend in California a few years ago (still no points). They've probably fixed it so that doesn't happen anymore, but for a one dollar investment, I'd try it out.

[97GTinKC]

I'd just pay a lawyer to get it reduced to a non-moving violation - no points, its usually much cheaper in the long run because your insurance company will check your record on a regular basis, Last couple I've gotten have been around 200-300 total to make disappear. seems to be standard procedure around here to plead guilty to non-moving offense like defective horn and pay double the fine. dont even have to go to court. Called the lawyer and its something like "mail me the ticket and a check for 250 and its a done deal."

Dont laugh, I had a lawyer tell me about one town around here where you asked for a continuance or 2, then went back and changed your plea to guilty and paid the fine, and the records would fall out of their system and never get sent to the state...

I personally am not going to take the chance...just have a lawyer get it reduced to a non-moving violation and pay a heavier fine. still cheaper than the higher insurance rates.

And dont get me started on insurance companies, My last few renewal notices have had some disclaimer about how my rates could be affected by negative information on my credit report. Only thing on my credit report was I had mailed 1 house payment late 2 years before (simply forgot). Been with those A**holes for 30 years and they want to raise my rates because of something that has nothing to do with them. I'm shopping around more next time...

[dustin15brown]

I like my way guys

[darksecret]

I wish the NC court system would drop a case because of time, I go for a long time without having a case and they still hit me with a fine and court cost.
