Umm.... well when I had my laying drag ticket (the lesser charge of reckless driving) and speeding ticket, I think I remember it being around $400 or so... and that was after my lawyer and done his work...

both tickets together could me as much as 1,000. Get a lawyer and you can probably get one of them dropped.

Mine was $400 after the lawyer, and ya, I had to appear in court... but all i had to do was sit there while the lawyer talked to the solicitor (sp?) and stuff.. Main reason I got the lawyer is cause I really couldn't lose my license... so had to hope that the lawyer was gonna be able to help me out there... this was when I was under 21.

How Long Will I loose my liscence?

**94Teghatch** · 10-23-2005, 08:45 PM

Ok Good cuz im 20

**Complication** · 10-23-2005, 09:16 PM

yeah, got the same thing you did, 77 in a 45, the ticket was going to be $440 give or take a few...

you will loose your licence for 6 months, if it happens that bad again I think you loose it until your 21.

I however did not loose my licence, I was going to, I should have, was about to, but I knew a county prosecutor who got me an interview with the powers that be, and he ended up vouching for me, they reduced it to 23 over and gave me 24 hours of community service, and a Defenceive driving course and a $230 fine....I got lucky, don't want to do it again,

all I can say man is :
1) wear a Suit! this will definitely help
2) make sure you are clean shaven
3)remove any (visible) body rings or things of that nature
4) bring documentation of anything good you have done lately (Ie: grades, comm. service, ect...)
5) let the court know you’re a good hard working kid who was in the wrong place at the wrong time...
6) and if you can afford it, get a lawyer...he'll know what to do.

oh and 7) try to be light on the gas for the next 2 or so years, (or get a good detector like me...

)

lol... do you give them a attitude or something? All I've ever gotten is a ticket... never even been threatened with going to jail, even when I got pulled over for 106 in a 55 on 285...

haha would showing them how quickly you finished your community service, DD class, payed for all fees and probations from a previous ticket help?? i remember the NIGHT after my court date for my 24 over reduced to 23 over ticket i was in a defensive driving class and finished it the next day. also, i told my manager im likely to lose my license, and i need it to get to work and while im at work, (tires plus). he said just remind him a few days ahead of time, and he will right a letter to give the judge, would this help alot by anychance? (he said he was going to mention how im a good kid and worker and all the BS)

Yep, but my license was only suspended for 2 days, and it was because of a mistake on their part.
