    alright - I'll take the points no problem, its the license I'm more concerned about ( my job literally needs my car to drive to customer houses etc )

    Justin. Take defensive Driving. its a boring as hell class and it WILL help you with the court.

    Mine really dosn't leave the garage. People across the street think it is a tool bench.

    Ummm, pleading "no lo" doesn't mean that it won't show up on your record, always.

    ^^ my ticket is marked radar, so thats what I'm assuming - I didn't know what he got me with, so no I didnt ask him to calibrate it, nor did he ask me if I wanted him to

    I also just got off the phone with the clerk at the probate court there. According to her, if I take a defensive driving class before my court date, and bring it with me, they drop the MPH regardless

    My cousin got poped doin 136 in a 65. Cop was going in the other direction. Had to turn around and catch up to him. The eventually set up a road block about 6 miles up the road. (411 west going toward Rome, Ga) Cops pulled him out of the car and went crazy on his ass. He went to jail for the night. His lawyer got him out of the speeding ticket. All he was charged with was wreckless driving. Didn't get him with eluding the cops either, said he was going to fast to notice it was a cop. He got off with losing his licence for 6 months and 2 years probation.

    24 Over Automatic 6months suspension if your under the age of 21, If I wore you I'd find a layer to lower the 24MPH downn to like 15 Over the speed limit, If you want to keep your lisence

    Can you beat it without a lawyer? Sure, it can be beat.
    Should you risk the loss of your license? It's up to you.
    I suggest you shoot an email to Keith at the very least.

    lol read what I posted earlier - I was on the phone with the clerk and she told me if I took a DD class and brought it into court with me, that I was good to go ( that they drop the speed no matter what apparently )

    This is true, I got a 25 over in a 65 when I was 17 and my dad had to call the solitor and beg for them to lower it to 88 in a 65 instead of 90 so that I wont loose it...

    I've gotten 3 speeding tickets this year (the only 3 tickets ive ever gotten-- what a year, right?)
    I know that different counties do everything a little differently, but this is the info i've gathered since going through all that this year...

    you shouldn't be REQUIRED to go to the arraignment (aka your court date on your ticket) unless you were doing 25+ over.
    HOWEVER, you should GO. plead NOLO, and then talk to the solicitor afterwards about what exactly will happen.
    Most of the time you won't be able to talk to the solicitor beforehand.
    The driving laws have also been ever-changing, and i've heard mixed laws about the whole speeding/points deal. I heard that the "4 points & your license is gone" thing applies to under 18 year olds.

    I am 20, almost 21, and i've had 3 tickets. Two for going 21 over, and one for going 17 over, and nothing has happened to me, except for the annoying & high fines.

    I think you'll be fine. BUT, that's just my ...good luck!!

    ^^ well a lawyer I spoke with told me to just make sure they do things properly, and if need be go as far as to get a disclaimer saying something along the lines that the speed was dropped and the license gets kept

    I got a ticket from a Gainesville cop about this time last year. I was doing 26 over the speed limit (was 18 yrs old at the time) and technically, i should've lost my license. BUT, i took a defensive driving class one saturday and showed up at court with it and they let me off because of taking the course and because my last ticket was over 2 yrs ago. The fine was $212, and no probation. Some other people there that were my age were getting $600-700 fines and 12 months probation.

    So, your best bet would be to take the course and hope for the best. Since you're right there at the 24 mph cutoff, he'll probably let you go... unless he's a dick.
    This your first speeding ticket?

    edit: oh yeah, and when they ask you what you plead, say you plead to reduce the speed.

    Haven't read the whole thread, but my friend got a ticket for 24 over a few years back. It was 4 points and he lost his license for 6 months.
