Speeding Ticket, mmmMMMgood Options

[Milds3vn]

I posted about this over a month ago when I got a 75 in a 55 and I decided to take it to court and I just got back from the district justice...well it pays to fight them, the officer gave me a moving violation instead which doesn't indicate speeding so for anyone out there who gets a ticket, take it to court and you have good chances of getting a deal. Always be polite and 'yes sir, no sir' don't lie and don't give excuses untill the officer asks for them. Being polite goes a long way, one more court date tomara for more $hit, lets see how far courtesy gets me...


P.S.
At least for PA: only state cops can use radar and local cops use vascar (timed between 2 cops) so if you see one cop slow down immediatly and you might be ok when you hit the next cop.

AND another thing, for the street racers out there, the other day a kid got 6 years in prison for involvement in racing that caused 3 deaths, he didn't crash but the person he was racing did, died, and killed 2 others in a car going the other way. The fact that the other kid was simply involved was enough to get 6 years so be CAREFUL! Take it on the track not the street! For the price of fines etc... you can buy a kart and have more fun.

I got one for 40 in a 25. Cop pulled me and the person infront of me over, both of us convertibles. Anyway, I got this probation thing, as long as I don't get another ticket in 90 days (82 now) then it doesn't go on my record or to my insurance.

And I'm eligible for probation as long as I haven't had a ticket in the past year. So I'm driving slow for at least 82 more days, and probably at least a year.

where did you go to court at? i have a court date for august 5 in philly for street racing. i was just wondering who the judge and cop were. hopefully i will get a deal too but most likely not since it was for racing.

and another thing vascar doesn't use two cops. basically to use vascar the cop measures a given distance(point a to point b)puts that in the computer and then sits back and flips a switch when you pass point a then flips it back when you pass point b and it gives them the speed you were going. learned that in criminal justice class. they also use E.S.P. which is thin strips they tape to the road (they arent the round ones used to count traffic) its verry hard to see and if you get lucky and see the first strip its too late if your speeding to slow down. its much more effective then vascar.

I hear they also have snap guns. Which take extremely quick measurements of your instinaneous speed, thus no radar is detected.

Over in Australia there putting up 24 hour speed cameras everywhere. So when I went through one the other day (driving into town) I planted it and cut off me mate. Cause the camera snaped and they sent him a speeding fine when it was me speeding through.

Why I put this here he took it to court and said this dickhead in a Celica speed through it and cut me off triggering the camera. All they had in the photo was his car (liceince plate visible) and mine which they couldn't see.

Ha ha, he got off it. And he didn't mention my name, nice of him hey.

also known as instant on guns. it's still radar gun, it just flashes the radar gun intermittently very quickly, and when the cop's ready to tag somebody he just flips it on and it measures the speed in less than a second. but if you have a radar detector you'll be able to detect it when he measures cars in front of you.

Some vascar has 2 cops or maybe they call it something else when 2 cops do it, and for the thing about street racing: it will be d4mn hard to get that taken down at all unless maybe you ask for community service to bring down the charge a little bit. They are really cracking down on street racing in general.
