I got a speed contest ticket a few years ago. The cop handcuffed me and I go to hang out in the back of his car for 20 min while the other guy just stood by his car. I'm sure if it happened in the last few years I would have lost my car for 30 days, gone to jail and been charged with attempted murder...... You can't screw around like that anymore without getting in big trouble. They charged me with a misdemeanor and wanted to throw 3 points on my license, if I wanted to go to court it was a trial jury. I argued it down to an "unsafe start" charge and one point with a few hundred dollar fine. Just argue when you go to court, they will try to scare you with a jury trial just tell him fine. He told me I would need to pay for a lawyer, I said you guys can give me one, he asked if I made more than $1200 a month, I said yes, he said I don't qualify for a court appointed lawyer because I make too much, I told him I'll quit my job and then they have to give me one, he said you can't do that, I told him if those points go on my record I'll loose my job anyway so it won't matter. Needless to say, he backed down and gave me the one point.

Ouch, booked for cvc 23103... I have never heard of anyone getting booked for that. I dont even think our jail would take that. Usually just a nice misdemeanor ticket and a your vehicle visiting the tow yard for 30 days.

I got caught speeding 115+mph. I ended up getting 30 day suspension, 2 points, $475 fine, and fucked up insurance for 3 years. Get a laywer if you can. It may cost more now, but think about the extra insurance cost too. Good luck.

I received the the same ticket 5 years ago.
They're going to be rough on you. You will have to be represented by an attorney. I hired a private attorney and got off with a 1 point moving violation and a fine of about $500. But I also had to pay the lawyer $1000.
Either way you go, you will pay some heavy wallet!
Good luck guy.

Dam thats sux dude.
i got a wreckless last year's 5 de mayo for swagging dounuts on my 92 5.0....then took them to a highspeed for a couple of blocks till i came a cross of a road block of 2 motorcicle cops.these were my cosiquences....

1)six hours in jail
2)car impounded for 30 days($1,200 to take her back)
3)2 points on my L's
4)70 days of work project or 70 days in jail(chose work project)
5)$45 buck a day of work project..Total estimate for just work project,$2,600 Fine!
6)already had 2 point on my l's so i for sure got it suspended for 6 months.
Once i got it bak after those 6 month im paying $98 bucks a month for 3 years just to have my L's..its called SR22..Thats pretty much it.

We're all dumb and young once. Some take more/longer than others. But we all eventually learn our lessons. Just be glad the wreckless driving did not lead to public destruction or bodily harm.

Haha... I didn't win... it was a LS-1 Camaro i was racing. sounded like it had long tubes... maybe more. but i was keeping up...

My lawyer got me down to 2 points because our argument was that the Camaro cut me off, and i wasn't racing, i had road rage and i was trying to catch them to cut them off for revenge...

Sounds dumb, but in their eyes it just makes me a jerk, not a reckless criminal... haha

Don't even stress about it. It will be a while before you have to go to court, so just relax and save up some cash to get your car out. Who knows the judge may even drop the charges

I was on tennyson smashin with another fifty goin in and out of lanes. I wasn't goin that fast cuz traffic. The other car got away and they just got me. They didn't tow my car cuz I guess he was an ok cop. He let my buddy take it home. But he still took me in.
