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

[Dtown_GT]

umm if its your first ticket shouldnt you be able to take a defensive driving class so it doesnt show up. you have to pay a little extra. I know for a fact you can do that in Illinois.. is it not like that everywhere?

Iv taken it twice now 1) for the first speeding ticket i ever got and 2) i made a plea with the state that i would take the class and be on 6 month court supervision so that they couldnt take my license away (it was my third ticket in a year)

In NC you get a letter to take it after getting 4 points.

[LatinKraze]

Pay your fine, take an online driver's course to remove points, and don't speed again. Simple as that.

[playr158]

there is no online driver's course in VA

guys if you wanna give info you have to atleast know va law

[darksecret]

I fully agree with playr158, even NC law is different than and we're right below them.

Ask Andason he seems to think that his 3 years of criminal justice makes him a friggin lawyer, lol.

hmm here in cali...i believe you can take traffic school to clear speeding tickets, its valid for up to 3 tickets a time & doesn't add points to your record so no increase in insurance. Only thing is you can only clear it once a year or 3 years (forgot).

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.

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.

Yeah, im going to do that today, get another continuance. what was that cop's name? young bald guy u were telling me about? if he dosent show i can plead innocent and get "sent home" as u said? COOL!! (by the way...what happened to veronica?) and we havent hung out in a while!

Officer Sherwood, Monroe Police Department, 3 years Service and still a rookie.

Oh yeah... Veronica... she's mad at me because Brandi found out about Sherry and Rebecca and Ashley, man it's been some drama. Brandi is still cool with me but 'ron is pissed, also the store has been busy and i've been working my ass off.

I don't think that works in Va.
