"street racing" ticket.. advice?

**slo240** · 10-22-2007, 12:05 AM

me and my buddy were here workin at the house on my 240, we leave to go get checkers which is 1/4 mile away. we pull out of my neighbor hood in low gears... we come up to a redlight... he just feels like getting into the lane beside me... a cop is up at enmark, we do get on the gas alittle but no where near full throttle. none of our tires spun, no barks or chirps. he blue lighted us as we were already pulling into checkers. he gives us both $660 tickets. my friend, scott has had one ticket his hole life. his 2nd gear barly does 40mph... it was a 45 zone. he wasnt even in 3rd gear, how was that street racing? it wouldnt be so bad if we really WERE racing... but we really werent. if anyone whose been screwed over before like this and knows what we should do besides go pay the ticket, let me know please. thanks in advanced!!

talk to the local solicitor, alot of the times he will drop it. but watch what you say. He is just like a cop and anything you say can and....etc.etc.

Best advice, go ahead and just take a defensive driving class before you go to court and when you get there just tell the solicitor the honest truth. Also dress nice.

**Crazy Asian** · 10-22-2007, 12:36 AM

but other then taht you are totally f'd unless you know a lawyer.

**MachNU** · 10-22-2007, 12:51 AM

if it was gwinnett county, dont even bother going to a DD class, you HAVE lost your license for 1 year. Gwinnett has a no change policy for tickets for people under 21! trust me thats from the mouth of a gwinnett county solicitor!

**Benefit** · 10-22-2007, 12:55 AM

damn...that sucks...when i had my 240 i was getting pulled over left and right for no tag...i think its just cause you were driving a 240sx, he pulled you over

**WickedIXMR** · 10-22-2007, 02:37 AM

I know of a great lawyer that got my buddy off his streetracing ticket with just speeding 14 over which has no points. Pm me if you want his info

**DrunkScotsman** · 10-22-2007, 02:40 AM

commence gropin your socks , racing is a huge no no in GA , its the cops word against yours

**mikespeed95** · 10-22-2007, 03:27 AM

why are you racing if it wont even chirp the tires in 1st or 2nd gear?

thats gay.

if your going ot race, get a real car. or put a ls1 in yours.

**TheProfiteer** · 10-22-2007, 03:54 AM

you got a chance if you can actually prove, you were not racing, consider you evidence, and plead not guilty, try to find a lawyer friend of the family, who will help you with your case.

do not be intimidated by the solicitor at your arraignment.

Follow these steps.

1: Find Legal Counsel
2: Obtain Defensive evidence, and consider possible prosecuting evidence
3: Plead not guilty and choose the jury trial (DO NOT CHOOSE A BENCH TRAIL)

Things you should consider. Did he take you both to jail? If not, think about why.
Remember, if your cars have loud exhaust that could sway the balance in your favor.
Was the officer able to catch you on his in dash video camera, if not, you have a very strong chance of winning, if he did and you WERE NOT racing you have an even stronger chance.

Do not give in to the system especially if you think your are innocent.

**TheProfiteer** · 10-22-2007, 03:58 AM

to add, I have been acquitted of all charges that were against me in cases where I was innocent, and Once when I actually was not.

Which included, 2 speeding tickets, reckless driving, and driving with out insurance.

this is the biggest help so far! we are FAR from guilty on this charge too.

**Maniaç** · 10-22-2007, 12:28 PM

You have got to be pretty damn dumb, why would you even waste gas racing pretty much stock 240's? I mean, atleast race if you have something worth racing. Seeing Civic's, Accords, 240sx's, ects. run is like watching retards racing each other. At first you're like damn, then you just sit there and laugh at how stupid they look.

Good luck with your case, maybe next time you won't be so stupid and think twice before you do something like this again.

I know that, I was just saying. And I also said next time you guys will think twice, which means I was giving you a heads up.

**quickdodge®** · 10-22-2007, 01:01 PM

Bull****. In a way. You're friend didn't pull along side of you for just a "1/4 mile away" run to Checker's just to let you know that you were leaking reverse light fluid did he? You and everyone on IA right now knows what's up. Later, QD.

**UpSideDownDesi** · 10-22-2007, 01:41 PM

I'll keep it short and simple. Hire a lawyer or go take a defensive driving class and ask for commuinty time.

**Turbo04** · 10-22-2007, 01:52 PM

only problem with that is you have a ticket that says otherwise and the "I wasnt' racing" defense isn't going to get you anywhere in court. There is a huge difference in cars accelerating at "not even half throttle" and one's racing. You can tell, I'm willing to bet that you gave it a little gas and so did your buddy and the cop saw that. even if it was a only for a sec. Get a lawyer and help old people...only way outta this...
