Speeeeeeeeding ticket

**btomic** · 06-23-2007, 08:34 PM

I got a speeding ticket 2 weeks ago for going 81 in a 45, me and another man got the same ticket, because we were racing, but the cop decided to just give us speeding. I am still waiting the court date and I'm new in GA anybody have any clue on what the judge might say about this, I'm 19 1st offense, and in the military. Some law advice told me not to pay the ticket because I would probably lose my license and shit, but if I go to court then the judge might lower my sentence, any body been in a situation like this before? Lemme know

Don't tell him you were racing- even though you should be in jail right now for that- Just pay it and go- it will be a shit-ton fine though I'm sure

Don't race on the street- that was a stupid decision on your part and I'm glad you got caught.

PS- thanks for serving though.

oh god......here we go

**btomic** · 06-23-2007, 08:41 PM

OK well it is what it is, I'm just wondering if anybody has any idea how the law works in southern GA, the fine is $400 if i just pay it and go, but then I lose my license and I'm not about to do that.

**thepolecat** · 06-23-2007, 08:44 PM

Since you are 19 I'd got to the judge- Go get your 5 year driving record from the DMV to show you have no other violations and try and plead with him. If you don't have your driving record form the DMV the judge wont do anything for you.

**swolejamaica** · 08-19-2007, 10:52 AM

no trust me get your 7 year certified driving record trust me!!

**wantboost** · 06-23-2007, 08:44 PM

the cop already gave you a break. you could be sitting in a cell..... my .02

**btomic** · 06-23-2007, 08:48 PM

before anybody else tells me I could be sitting in jail, trust me He let me know that... when he said "Son you know I could cuff you right now for 3 offenses, I'm sure you first seargent wouldn't like that would he?" I am well aware.

Thank your james, nobody mentioned that to me yet, so I will do that for sure.

I was doing 115 in a 70.
30 over they put you in jail.
I haven't been to court, but their plea with me was a $1000 fine, suspension of license for 6 months, probation for a year, 40 hours community service and defensive driving.

Now, I have done 58 hours of community service, and did my defensive driving course and am now awaiting court. I can only hope my lawyer works his magic.

DONT pay off the ticket, your lawyer can do a lot for you, or your judge can be a douche and screw you over in every aspect.

**thepolecat** · 06-23-2007, 09:17 PM

why were you doing 115?

**btomic** · 06-23-2007, 09:35 PM

I was doing 31 over and cop just wrote it up, I don't have a lawyer but I dont feel like I need one, because its only 400 dollars and maybe license suspension,but could the judge decide that the ticket is worth more and make it worse like wreckless and stuff?

**GSRteg®** · 06-23-2007, 10:39 PM

81 in a 45 is 36 over bro.... Ur going to jail bro btw dont drop the soap lol.

I was having a horrible day.

**thepolecat** · 06-23-2007, 09:38 PM

no- he cant make it worse later- he can only make you deal with the maximum of the ticket that was written

**btomic** · 06-23-2007, 09:41 PM

WOW! thanks alot! I hope thats right, because that sole question right there was really bothering me

Too bad you survived this "race." Later, QD.

**btomic** · 06-23-2007, 10:11 PM

OK wow it was even a race, my boy just got a new stang so we went cruising and went a little too fast, but yes good thing I got caught and too bad I survived.

Wow. It's nice that you can be light-hearted about this and be the smart ass about it. But remember. You're the idiot in this scenario. Not me. I hope you lose your license. And you mentioned in your initial post(first sentence) that you were racing. Dummy. I thought you had to be smart to get in the service. Guess they're desperate. Later, QD.

that all depends on which branch of the military.

But if this guy works at Robbins AFB, then I would assume that Air Force would be the occupation. Unless he is a civilian employee. Later, QD.

**SampaGuy** · 06-23-2007, 10:30 PM

u can get a lawyer for $400-$600. dont know about u but id rather pay that much rather than lose my license for 6 months.

**GSRteg®** · 06-23-2007, 10:35 PM

Man there is nothing you can do, but hold it down and hope for the best. BTW I think you might loose your license bro, but your millitary record might work in this case....? You were going 36 over right then Good bye driving.

**btomic** · 06-23-2007, 10:39 PM

Yea but my supervisors talked to some legal advisors that we have, and they said usually if the person is 1st time offender and a good person, they will lower the sentence, to like 15 over so I wont lose and it, but give me like defensive driving courses or something.

**GSRteg®** · 06-23-2007, 10:53 PM

True, wish you luck.

not 15 over. but the minimum to not lose your license. If they say you can plead nolo, you get one time. otherwise get a lawyer to not lose your license.

**japan4racing** · 06-24-2007, 12:07 AM

you work at robins afb??? they may let you keep your license for work and/or school. youcan only drive if heading to work or school or coming back from them. this is only if you have a clean record up untill now.

**btomic** · 06-24-2007, 10:24 AM

Sorry, but when somebody tells me too bad i survived, I was like wtf? I would rather be a smartass then say it's too bad somebody survived..lol.. but for real it's just that I posted for help, not to hear how stupid I am and shit because I heard enough from that considering this went pretty far up my chain of command, and this is by no means an invitation to an arguement because thats not what I want to do.

and I work at Moody AFB

Well my opinion is for all "street racers." I'd much rather see a "street racer" dead than an innocent family. Later, QD.

**81911SC** · 06-24-2007, 11:25 AM

You need to take defensive driving and then go to court. DD always helps.

**SampaGuy** · 06-24-2007, 11:35 AM

**81911SC** · 06-24-2007, 11:43 AM

Plv knows what I'm talking about.

**GSRteg®** · 06-24-2007, 11:52 AM

He must if his giving advice.... very true though what he is saying.

**btomic** · 06-24-2007, 12:00 PM

Yea guys thanks for the help I will deffiently do this, and QD I understand where your coming from, but thats not me lol that was probbaly the 1st time I went like over 15mph the speed limit, but yea I will deffiently print out my driving history and take dd cuz im clean.

**automaniac** · 06-24-2007, 12:18 PM

I'd just say to pay for the ticket....forget about court cuz you never know if the judge makes it worse.

**btomic** · 06-24-2007, 12:29 PM

I didn't think the jude could make it worse than what the cop wrote it up as?

**live~sideway** · 06-24-2007, 12:37 PM

first offense go in and plead first offender that is assuming this county has that law if not plead no lo both of them are basically the same thing y ou get like 1 no lo every like 5 or 10 years you just go in pay the fine. its like im not saying i did it but im not saying i didnt im just gonna pay for it.

**btomic** · 06-24-2007, 12:44 PM

I heard about no lo, but I also heard that its not for people under 21

**SL65AMG** · 06-24-2007, 02:45 PM

they will revoke your license ....pretty much a guarantee ...

probably an ass load in fines and a DD class...

**btomic** · 06-24-2007, 03:02 PM

Most people I talk too, even legal advisors, said they will most likely lower my sentence enough for me to keep license, but it all depends on the judge and which side of the bed they woke up on that morning

**btomic** · 08-14-2007, 10:39 PM

wow just for everybody who posted about this thanks for the help! I went to court and the judge was super nice and rescheduled me a court date and if I have a defensive driving course certificate by then, I will get off clean :-) thanks for the help all! and DD is only $75
