    i believe i had a "cp" liscense......still a C class, i mean i still had to take DD and pay the ticket....but i didnt lose ma liscense ..and i just turned 21 in march

    Don't mean to be an ass but it's Nolo, as in Nolo Contendre, and can you even plead Nolo with a D license/under 18? I'm almost positive you can't, even if he had a b-day before the court date. oh yeah, you can only plead Nolo once every 5 years too.

    I got busted going 124 in a 65 when I was 18...GSP on Hwy. 400. I had let off and was coasting when I saw the blue lights coming over the horizon behind me and I was going well over 100 still. He saw my climbing gear in the back, we chatted for a while about places in the area to climb and rappel...which was interesting bc he was a relatively large black man...anyways, he wrote me up for 90 in a 65. 1 week later I called him up and asked him what I needed to do to get him to lower it to 88 so i could keep my license. He simply said just do whatever the judge tells you to do. Two weeks before my court date I went and saw the judge and she told me the state no longer offered defensive driving courses so I was sent to DUI school instead.... $75 for the class and $91 for the ticket. State Farm said your first speeding ticket won't affect the rate but you don't even want to think about getting a second one.

    Last week was the first time in 6 years I've been pulled over for speeding (absolutely amazing huh?), funny thing was it was a GSP on 400 again, but i sure got lucky that day.

    Damn I wish I were that lucky. I got pulled over and gave the yes sir's and no sir's and he told me I was lucky he didnt arrest me.

    But I talked to a cop and he said to take a defensive driving class, get my C licence ASAP, and beg like a bitch for mercy....

    After 24 hours of thinking about this shit and feeling bad as shit im feeling better fact of the matter is I was speeding and I got what i deserved. even though i really didnt realize I was going 70. Hopefully the judge will have mercy but most likely not... and my licence will prob get suspened.. andyone know the charge for driving with a suspened licence? cuz thats proply what ill be doing till december.....

    I didn't read the thread because it was long.

    So this was probably posted before.

    You have no excuses for speeding, so don't go that route.

    Also, you do need to do some community service to show you aren't a bad guy.

    3rdly, the judge does not have to accept your plea of no-lo so don't put all your hope on that.

    4thly, your fine is going to be expensive as fuck, esp in kennesaw. Tell your parents, they will need to know.

    5thy, hahaha, you are fucked.

    That was in Dawson Co. though and they don't have much going on up there...you should be able to call up one of the solicitors and see what they can do for you, I seriously doubt you'll ever get a chance to talk to a judge beforehand.

    If you show them you're trying to take care of this before the court date and ask them what you need to do (what would be in your best interest) then they may be willing to help alot more than that 5 minutes before you're supposed to be standing in front of the judge.

    don't speed, get caught, then complain about it. everything in this situation could have been prevented or fixed..

    personally i'm glad peeps like you are off the road. but trust me you will lose your license for at least 6 months, maybe even a year...haha

    If you are stupid enough to even say before you go to court that you will be driving with a susp. license till december, I'd like to go back and delete everything I said.

    Clearly you are a moron who doesn't understand the bigger picture. I'd just not even go to court if I was you... I'd drink and drive, use and sell drugs... do whatever the hell you want... because you clearly are too dumb to understand the difference between right and wrong.

    Hope you dont kill anyone later on down the road.

    he has a point....you just need to tell ya parents and find out how to get a ride while its suspened....if you get caught with a suspened liscense while driving...you'll defintly be going to jail and losin ya liscense even longer.....just think about everything you need to do....and talk to ya parents, counslor whoever.....ya parents will defintly find out once your in jail caught with no liscense...and i gurantee that will be worse then what it would be now

    When I got my one and only speeding ticket I was in the process of searching for a new car and was looking for the cheapest place for full coverage insurance on a 300zx...i called geico and progressive and nearly every ghetto co. that claimed they were the cheapest but once I told them about the ticket it they were all wanting $5-6,000 per year for an N/A, never bothered getting quotes for a TT. Needless to say, i stayed with the State Farm because the first ticket doesn't count and only got liability on the 300zx I bought. My liabilty rates actually dropped a few dollars a month when I switched from the 1st gen integra to Z32 because it had "automatic" seatbelts....went from a car that was $14,900 new to a $37,900 300zx with 106 more hp and my insurance was less...interesting.

    Kennesaw police dont listen I tryed and he said I was lucky he didnt arrest me because at my age it was an arrestable offense. I dont mind paying a fine and my insurance going up I just need my license. I have no other way to work. I get off school at 3:30 and have to be at work in marietta at 4. so thers no way unless I drive. Hope the judge understands. Im neverous and hell though I've never been in court...

    The laws were a lot different when I was your age, as Ruiner was pointing out. Now they are way more restrictive, which is good IMO, with drivers under 21.

    It's been said like 5 billion times in this thread, but I'll say it anyway. The biggest mistake you are making, besides the one that got you in the situation, is NOT TELLING YOUR PARENTS. As a parent, I can tell you that one of the biggest factors in raising children is trust. If your parents can't trust you, then you will have a very difficult road ahead. Your parents should be your biggest ally, not your enemy. Strict or not. I had the world's most strict parents. I was also the black sheep in my family. I gave my parents so much unnecessary hell, for which I'm gonna one day feel the pain myself now that I'm a parent myself. To be honest, I'm very glad my parents were strict with us because otherwise I'd probably be six feet under now myself. I totally see their view now with my own two children.

    I got a 90 in a 55 on 316 when I was 16 yrs. old. L'ville police is not the most lenient dept around either. I had my license suspended for the first time then. Big fine and I borrowed the money to pay that. All the while I kept it from my parents. Carried that damn ticket to bed with me for freaking month. One day, I accidentally left it on my desk when I went to take a shower. When I got out, my dad was standing there reading the ticket. Needless to say, I got into trouble. Even more humiliating, my YOUNGER brother had to drive ME to prom that year because my license was suspended. That was humiliating.

    I had my license suspended once more after that for points (all speeding). I never lied to my parents again about it though. I got in tons of trouble and had my car taken several times. I had to suck it up and take it like a man since I thought it was cool to have a Camaro and go triple digits everywhere I went.

    Point? 1. Once you become an adult and pay for your own way, you'll realize why your parents would be pissed if your insurance suddenly doubled or tripled for something YOU didn't do. 2. You need to own up to what you did and take your medicine. By hiding it, you're only prolonging the inevitable. 3. LEARN from the screw up. It could have been worse, but more importantly it could have been avoided all together.

    Good luck in court.

    Last week was the first time in 6 years I've been pulled over for speeding (absolutely amazing huh?), funny thing was it was a GSP on 400 again, but i sure got lucky that day.

    Under the age of 18 Nolo...is basically pointless I got a ticket for going 35 over and a wreckless driving ticket in gwinnett county when I was 16. The Judge told me flat out well Nolo at your age isnt going to help. He said generally that only does something if your atleast 18....but even yet then it doesnt do much it really helps when your 21.

    But you do have chances of keeping you license...it is true judges love seeing that your trying to fix the mistake you made. So I would def go get your new provisional license. You can say you had jst recently turned 18 and were fixing to go get your new license very soon. A class before your court date would be smart. But 25 over...thats really not that bad at all. But it all depends on how much the judge likes you. And generally when you go into court and show them that your sorry and are willing to pay the price they will give you a reduction. Generally the reduction is not more then 10 mph-but that would knock you down to 15 which would help you greatly cause if your 18 and they accept your new license anything under 24 over at 18 technically you can jst pay off and not even come to court. BUT then of course that jst means you plead gulity and took the points or whatever and its on your record. 14 and under at the age of 18 you can simply pay off also but that is not put on to your record. Now I dont know if the rules are any different in Kennesaw cause the knowledge I have is from going to court in gwinnet and dekalb....Good Luck though. Maybe you'll be another lucky one who keeps his license. I mean my friend got a 39 over ticket in Dekalb at 16 and kept his license.........lol but that wasnt lucky I think that was up there with a miracle.

    dude you should of just gotten a lawyer and like everyone else said, told your parents. i had a friend who was 110 in a 65 and got out of the ticket with a good lawyer, which is the one i'm using right now. a good lawyer would be able to get you out. as my lawyer told me 2 days ago, he knows a bunch of kids with clean ass records, not a damn thing on them, but they have a shit load more tickets than i do (i have 3 by the way), all because they got a lawyer. he also told me that its not good to just pay your fine for whatever ticket you get because it will go on your record and 1. you could lose your license b/c of points 2. whenever you go to fight some kind of traffic violation, it is better to have a clean record, which a lawyer can you achieve. good luck dude b/c i'm in the same situation you are. i got arrested last friday for speeding and something else that i won't mention that was total bullshit, but obviously my parents know and were cool about it and i got me a lawyer ASAP

    **edit: BTW you cant plead nolo if your 16, they won't let you do it, it's not an option (i know you said your 18)

    FUCK GRAN TURISMO EAST!! NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR THERE, ESPECIALLY NOT FOR AN ALIGNMENT!! TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!

    It's been said like 5 billion times in this thread, but I'll say it anyway. The biggest mistake you are making, besides the one that got you in the situation, is NOT TELLING YOUR PARENTS. As a parent, I can tell you that one of the biggest factors in raising children is trust. If your parents can't trust you, then you will have a very difficult road ahead. Your parents should be your biggest ally, not your enemy. Strict or not. I had the world's most strict parents. I was also the black sheep in my family. I gave my parents so much unnecessary hell, for which I'm gonna one day feel the pain myself now that I'm a parent myself. To be honest, I'm very glad my parents were strict with us because otherwise I'd probably be six feet under now myself. I totally see their view now with my own two children.

    I got a 90 in a 55 on 316 when I was 16 yrs. old. L'ville police is not the most lenient dept around either. I had my license suspended for the first time then. Big fine and I borrowed the money to pay that. All the while I kept it from my parents. Carried that damn ticket to bed with me for freaking month. One day, I accidentally left it on my desk when I went to take a shower. When I got out, my dad was standing there reading the ticket. Needless to say, I got into trouble. Even more humiliating, my YOUNGER brother had to drive ME to prom that year because my license was suspended. That was humiliating.

    I had my license suspended once more after that for points (all speeding). I never lied to my parents again about it though. I got in tons of trouble and had my car taken several times. I had to suck it up and take it like a man since I thought it was cool to have a Camaro and go triple digits everywhere I went.

    Point? 1. Once you become an adult and pay for your own way, you'll realize why your parents would be pissed if your insurance suddenly doubled or tripled for something YOU didn't do. 2. You need to own up to what you did and take your medicine. By hiding it, you're only prolonging the inevitable. 3. LEARN from the screw up. It could have been worse, but more importantly it could have been avoided all together.

    Good luck in court.
    Smartest thing I could do is tell my parents EVERYONE WHO HAS SAID THAT IS RIGHT but fuck it they will find out if I get trashed in court next tuse. newayz. Lawyer would run me about $1500 and I dont have that kinda cash. No my parents dont pay shit I pay for everything due to the fact that I have a job that I might not have in 2 weeks if I lose my licence. I know im taking the bitch way out by not telling my folks and it porb the dumdest thing I could do. Its not that Im scared to tell them it more like I'm ashamed since I turned 18 I have been being more independent by paying my way around and paying my insurance. My dads been giving me a lot less shit and more respect lately so I gusse I just hate it that hes ganna have to find out that I fucked up agian and Ill lose all that.....

    Pleading nolo wont help either the judge has the right to not allow you to pled nolo expecailly if you under the age of 21. So many people have told me storys about how they have gotton off with a 30 40 50 over but I'm one of those lucky few that always ends up w/ the bad end of things.

    hey man i just got a ticket last month doin 74 in a 45. i got it with my d license too becuz i still haven't changed it since i turned 18 and it was last year but i just paid a 275 dollar ticket and got 2 poitns on my license. if you have to go to court then i would suggest to get a lawyer but i was fine and i thought my license was suspended but i got pulled over again and thought i was going to jail cuz then so far they haven't told me to surrender my license so i drove and got pulled over and again but they weren't suspended. i was lucky cuz i thionk GA law is 25 over and u lose ue license, but i dunno the case cuz i wasn't going to call the DMV and ask if they were and if they were then i would be fucked cuz i travel for work. but thats all i have to say and good luck fill us in how things go. oh and worrying about ur parents not finding out they will becuz they will send a letter home if ur a minor (i know) and i know for a fact that the insurance will go up and if ur parents pay for ur insurance then they will find out.

    Whats up bro. Just thought I would lend my 2 cents. First off, tell your parents. IF you car is having that many problems they may be more compasionate and even help you fix your car so it doesnt happen again. Plus, IF you do lose your license then you will have to explain that to your parents and you will be in deeper. All that aside, let me fill you in on the law. Some judges are more leniate then others and will cut you a break, but it is strictly at the judge discretion. Make this website your best friend: http://www.legis.state.ga.us/cgi-bin...pl?code=40-1-1 That is the entire Georgia law. You can even look up your offence number there if ya want. Now in your case this is the law, remember the judgement is at the judges discreation. Here is the law:

    Licensing Action:

    Type of Licensing Action (Susp/Rev):
    Suspension via the Point System(7) §40-5-57

    Persons Under 21 Years Old. A person <21 years old who is convicted of a speeding offense with an assigned point value of 4 points is subject to Revocation. §40-5-57.1(a), (b)(1) & (d)
    Term of License Withdrawal (Days, Months, Years, etc.):
    1 to 5 years depending on the number of points that have been accumulated. §40-5-57(d)
    Persons Under 21 Years Old who are subject to revocation. 1st offense-6 months 2nd or subsequent offense-12 months. A person's license cannot be reinstated until they have completed a defensive driver program. §40-5-57.1(a), (b)(1) & (d)
    Mandatory Minimum Term of Withdrawal:
    2 years upon reaching the requisite point assessment for the third time within 5 years(8) §40-5-57(d)(3)
    Persons Under 21 Years Old who are subject to revocation. 1st offense-6 months 2nd or subsequent offense-12 months §40-5-57.1(a), (b)(1) & (d)

    Georgia Code 40-5-57.

    (a) The State of Georgia considers dangerous and negligent drivers to be a direct and immediate threat to the welfare and safety of the general public, and it is in the best interests of the citizens of Georgia immediately to remove such drivers from the highways of this state. Therefore, the department is authorized to suspend the license of a driver without a preliminary hearing upon a showing by the records of the department or other sufficient evidence that the licensee is a habitually dangerous or negligent driver of a motor vehicle, such fact being established by the point system in subsection (b) of this Code section.
    (b) For the purpose of identifying habitually dangerous or negligent drivers and habitual or frequent violators of traffic regulations governing the movement of vehicles, the department shall assess points, as provided in subsection (c) of this Code section, for convictions of violations of the provisions of Chapter 6 of this title, of violations of lawful ordinances adopted by local authorities regulating the operation of motor vehicles, and of offenses committed in other states which if committed in this state would be grounds for such assessment. Notice of each assessment of points may be given, but the absence of notice shall not affect any suspension made pursuant to this Code section. No points shall be assessed for violating a provision of state law or municipal ordinance regulating standing, parking, equipment, size, and weight. The department is required to suspend the license of a driver, without preliminary hearing, when his driving record identifies him as a habitually dangerous or negligent driver or as a habitual or frequent violator under this subsection.
    (c)(1)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph, the points to be assessed for each offense shall be as provided in the following schedule:
    Aggressive driving 6 points
    Reckless driving 4 points
    Unlawful passing of a school bus 6 points
    Improper passing on a hill or a curve 4 points
    Exceeding the speed limit by more than 14 miles per hour but less than 19 miles per hour 2 points
    Exceeding the speed limit by 19 miles per hour or more but less than 24 miles per hour.... 3 points
    Exceeding the speed limit by 24 miles per hour or more but less than 34 miles per hour...... 4 points
    Exceeding the speed limit by 34 miles per hour or more... 6 points
    Disobedience of any traffic-control device or traffic officer 3 points
    Too fast for conditions 0 points
    Possessing an open container of an alcoholic beverage while driving 2 points
    Failure to adequately secure a load, except fresh farm produce, resulting in loss of such load onto the roadway which results in an accident

    2 points
    Violation of child safety restraint requirements, first offense 1 point
    Violation of child safety restraint requirements, second or subsequent offense

    2 points
    All other moving traffic violations which are not speed limit violations 3 points

    (B) The commissioner shall suspend the driver´s license of any person who has accumulated a violation point count of 15 or more points in any consecutive 24 month period, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained to the date of the most current arrest for which a conviction is obtained. A second or subsequent plea of nolo contendere, within the preceding five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which pleas of nolo contendere were accepted to the date of the most current arrest for which a plea of nolo contendere is accepted, to a charge of committing an offense listed in this subsection shall be considered a conviction for the purposes of this Code section. At the end of the period of suspension, the violation point count shall be reduced to zero points.
    (C) A court may order a person to attend a driver improvement course for any violation for which points are assessed against a driver´s license under this subsection or may accept the attendance by a person at a driver improvement clinic after the issuance of a citation for such offense and prior to such person´s appearance before the court, in which event the court shall reduce the fine assessed against such person by 20 percent, and no points shall be assessed by the department against such driver. The disposition and court order shall be reported to the department and shall be placed on the motor vehicle record with a zero point count. This plea may be accepted by the court once every five years as measured from date of arrest to date of arrest.
    (2) Any points assessed against an individual for exceeding the speed limit shall be deducted from that individual´s accumulated violation point count and the uniform traffic citation issued therefor shall be removed from the individual´s record if:
    (A) The points were assessed based on the use of a radar speed detection device by a county or municipality during a period of time when the commissioner has determined that such county or municipality was operating a radar speed detection device in violation of Chapter 14 of this title, relating to the use of radar speed detection devices; and
    (B) The commissioner has suspended or revoked the radar speed detection device permit of such county or municipality pursuant to Code Section 40-14-11.
    (d) Any person who has such points assessed against him as to require the suspension of his license pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Code section shall have his license suspended as follows:
    (1) Upon a first assessment of the requisite points, the period of suspension shall be one year, provided that at any time after completion of the requirements set forth in Code Section 40-5-84, such person may apply to the department for the return of his license;
    (2) For a second assessment of the requisite points within five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained to the date of the most current arrest for which a conviction is obtained, the period of suspension shall be three years, provided that at any time after completion of the requirements set forth in Code Section 40-5-84, such person may apply to the department for the return of his license; and
    (3) For a third assessment of requisite points within five years, as measured from the dates of previous arrests for which convictions were obtained to the date of the most current arrest for which a conviction is obtained, such person shall have his license suspended for a period of two years. Such person shall not be eligible for early return of his license or for a limited driving permit as provided in Code Section 40-5-64 during such two-year period.
    (e) The periods of suspension provided for in this Code section shall begin on the date the license is surrendered to and received by the department, from the date a license is surrendered to a court under any provision of this chapter, or on the date that the department processes the citation or conviction, whichever date shall first occur. If the license cannot be surrendered to the department, the period of suspension may begin on the date set forth in a sworn affidavit setting forth the date and reasons for such impossibility, if the department shall have sufficient evidence to believe that the date set forth in such affidavit is true; in the absence of such evidence, the date of receipt of such affidavit shall be controlling.
    (f) In all cases in which the department may return a license to a driver prior to the termination of the full period of suspension, the department may require such tests of driving skill and knowledge as it determines to be proper, and the department´s discretion shall be guided by the driver´s past driving record and performance, and the driver shall pay the fee provided for in Code Section 40-5-84 for the return of his or her license.

    Seriously youre all good, Same shit happened to me more that I can count. First off you have to go change your license asap and show that when you go to court. Also you HAVE TO take the Defensive driving course which is like 2 days BEFORE you go to court. If you go take Defensive Driving before hand and take the papers into ct the judge loves that and will deduct ur ticket right there. I've had a million tickets and the last one I had was 97 in a 55 and I was alll goood. Promise but if you want you can call my lawyer up and he'll give you advice & let you know what the best thing for you is. His name is Ben Smith & his # is 770- 218- 8859
