[MC Hammer]

Yeah, I got my first ticket last night. I was heading south on 85. Goin 85 in a 55. he wrote me a ticket. This sucks. I've been pulled over about 5 times and had the chance to get 8 tickets but they never actually gave me a ticket. I'm gonna try everything to keep my license. If, this has happend to you please post what you got?? I wanna know my potential punishments. Lol.

[The Ninja]

First ticket....but you got out of 8 tickets before. So this is your 9th ticket.

[MC Hammer]

No I've never had a ticket. Let me go rephrase that lol

[JohnnyC.]

Yeah, I got my first ticket last night. I was heading south on 85. Goin 85 in a 55. And, it was a construction zone...I was following traffic but since I'm in a lowered Integra, I get pulled over. And he wrote me a ticket. This sucks. I've gotten out of 8 tickets so far. I'm gonna try everything to keep my license. If, this has happend to you please post what you got?? I wanna know my potential punishments. Lol.

I got busted 65 in a 35 about 3 years ago by the GSP on some random backroad. I did have to go to court for it, but they dropped it a few MPH, I plead guilty of speeding to the judge, and I just paid my fine and went home. I dont know if I just got lucky or what. But, I honestly think they just want to make you go thru the b/s of showing up in court.

thats how they make money, court cost.

[MC Hammer]

how old were you ?

[Bballjamal]

You have the right to first offender so you can get it deferred no problem! Don't even sweat the ticket anymore, trust me.

Only stipulations to the first offenders thing is that you can't use it anymore for 5yrs I believe and some other things.....

Seriously, don't sweat that ticket. Reps plzzzzzz

[AnthonyF]

with this being ur first ticket you shouldnt lose your license

[Frög]

gwinnett your fine, Lawrence ville, get a lawyer.. i got a 19mph over in l-ville and they wouldn't lower it 5 mph.. this is my 1st speeding ticket.. they will not budge, they are a little city trying to make money..

[MC Hammer]

yea well i was 30 over. Lol I wish it was only 19 over.

[Frög]

so was it in L-ville or gwinnett?

[MC Hammer]

Swanee to be specific. But yes, it is Gwinnett

[Bballjamal]

Also, you have first offenders right in any county in GA! It's just up to the judge to tell you. They can't be accountable to the fact if you know the law or not. That's why most get an attorney to blab out all their knowledge and help the case out some. You can even give the judge a suggestion before he gives out the sentence (if you know the minimum and maximum of whatever law you broke)

[JohnnyC.]

how old were you ?

I was 21 at the time, so, you should be in the same situation. Under 18, you would be in trouble, but your all set at 20, I agree w/ everyone else, dont sweat the ticket. It will be fine...although, a little expensive.

thats how they make money, court cost.

I didnt have any court fees, so they didnt make any more $$ off of me than the tickets would have cost w/ out court. But, thats not always the case.

[Mayniac]

I've had this happen to me before, I was caught by a GA state though. Its funny how something can happen so quickly, if it weren't for my pretty nice 4 piston calibers he would have caught me doing 120. So I was only given a speeding ticket and had to pay the fine. Pretty cool lady, didn't scream or anything. After that, I rushed to work as fast as possible. Being late sucks.

Oh, good luck. Guess my story didn't help much, lolol.

GSP has the cheapest tickets in the state! My 30 over was only $150.00...and the GSP that caught me, was the coolest guy about everything.

I had a 17 over in Gwinnett, and it was around $170 or so...that cop acted like I had a dead body in my car.

Yeah they are, I think mine was about that price(for an 85 in a 55)... Gwinnett just sucks balls.

GSP = "You were goin' a little fast there son"

GPD = "Do you know what the speed limit is on 316...Do you have anything in the car I should know about"

I will also add, if I had been going 31 over, the ticket would have jumped to $250 and a reckless driving charge

[Thighs]

im goin to court on mine to plead guilty of speed but try to keep it off my record. im going for probation instead of fines too... lol

[WickedIXMR]

I got an awesome lawyer for gwinnett county. Hes been a lawyer for about 30 years. Send me a pm if you want his info.

[babygurl]

1. you shouldnt have been stupid enough to be going 85 in a 55 in a construction zone...cause you could have been taken to jail for reckless driving. I think they consider reckless driving at 20 mph over?

But here is my suggestion, take the defensive driving course. It will reduce the points on your lic. Once you go to court or pay the ticket, whichever it maybe. Take the course, and then send the certificate into the DMV, and it should take up to 6 points off of your lic.

and plead nolo, and maybe even try asking him to lower the ticket.

Also First Offenders is more for felony charges you dont want on your record, not for speeding tickets...

good luck

[babygurl]

hun they put you on probation until you pay off your fines

and some might even give community service...

haha that is really cheap...I once got a ticket for speeding and the fine was 800 including court costs...and I was only going 21 over...

although it was like my 3rd ticket in 4 yrs, or some bull****...

Holy hell thats expensive!!! Did you get a lawyer or something?

oh, and those two tickes (+17 & +30) were within a week of eachother, and I was in court for BOTH at the same time (and had 2 on my record still from the previous year)

no, lawyer...the girl in front of me had a lawyer, and he actually gave her more of a fine for speeding than I got...Lets just say I have about 14 speeding tickets no lead foot

then about a year later i had another ticket, fine went down to 600 including court costs...

then in 05 my last ticket was 400 plus court costs..

Gainesville City Police...getting me every time...

[81911SC]

Shouldn't have been a stupid *****.

[babygurl]

Shouldn't have been a stupid *****.

me or the honda chic?

if you are talking to me, than yeah pretty much heh. you live and learn tho...

[ueyedgr8tness]

OK here what u do,wait to pay the fines untill your court date and go to a defensive driving class before u go to court,when u get there tell the judge u have learned your lesson and that u took defensive classes so u could be more considerate of other's.


I think he will give u cs,pb, and some fines cause your under 21 they will not allow it to go on your record.

I no this why? because at 16 i got a 83-55 and when i was 19 i got a 77-45 then my last 1 was 73-55 and i was 20 then.

I have gotten out off all ticket's without a lawyer iv been to defensive driving school 2 of the times and i have been on pr for 6 months 1 time ,Believe me when u go to court don't fear the judge fear the prosecutor cause he can make your day hell or just a pat on the back,but be very well covered when u dress: cause wearing slutty clothes want get u no were in there.

So thats about it,And tell your dad that i am coming to ride with him and your mom before they put there bike's up(^*^)

Was it the same judge? The one judge I had to see in Gainesville was actually pretty nice to me, but I have a pretty rare situation.

As for the ticket discussion, the defensive driving thing is a good idea. It doesn't take that long, and will be a little cheaper than losing your licence until you turn 18. If you do plead "Nolo", you still have to pay the fine, and I'm not sure about whether or not the points go onto your licence or not these days. If your parents know a lawyer, it would be wise to to discuss it with them. They may even know someone who knows the judge, and then you can gauge what would be the best course of action from there. And I've had more speeding tickets/moving violations than any 3 people who have posted so far put together. Some of the Ga state laws have changed in the last 10 years to make my glorious driving record completely impossible, but I've seen how the system tends to work. And if you haven't told your parents about the ticket yet, it couldn't hurt, as they will evenually find out anyway.

she is under 20 , but HC , just plead nolo and take the classes , you wont lose your liscence , if ya want we can chip your ecu to govern it to 55mph , so this doesnt happen again

[fucksohc]

alright megan... you should do either as thescotsman said and plead nolo... which is where they drop the points u pay the fine and take the class, or bec of the fact that u were goin 30 over in a construction zone you may need to get a lawyer... bec ur under 18...

i just dropped kim off and got home so i havent had a chance to get bobs #... but ill get it in the mornin and call you...

but... jus to lyk its gonna be hard to get off of a 30 over in a construction zone... they are usually pretty strict on those... g/l tho..

[fucksohc]

haha that is really cheap...I once got a ticket for speeding and the fine was 800 including court costs...and I was only going 21 over...

although it was like my 3rd ticket in 4 yrs, or some bull****...

thats cheep too... i had to pay for an 18 over ticket and drivin on a suspended license.... that was 850 on the drivin on a suspended license and 175 on the 18 over... so 1025 that day

[coolcat]

Sounds like you got f*cking owned!

[fucksohc]

Sounds like you got f*cking owned!

X2 rofl, reps if i can

[Init2winit]

Dumbass. Why were you speeding in a construction zone?

[quickdodge®]

but since I'm in a lowered Integra, I get pulled over.

Of course you got pulled over for having a lowered Integra. I'm sure the 30 mph over the speed limit in a construction zone had nothing to do with it. In other words, if you were doing what you were supposed to be doing, you still would have been pulled over because you were driving an Integra. If you would, what does it have written in the OFFENSE section? Speeding or driving an Integra? You ought to get the maximum just for this dumbass comment.Later, QD.

[cobalt9123]

friend lost his license for going 85 in the 55 zone of 316, or suspended for 6 months, he got it back though, and the officer wouldn't lower it any mph
