Good luck..... you'd be better off being charged with murder than a speed contest ticket.

One of my buddies got one a while back and it was not pretty. He had to hire a lawyer and pay a shit load in fines. I think it is an automatic 2 pts on your record and possibly a misdemeanor.

Seriously, I got one a long time ago and it was a misdemeanor. I went to court and they wanted to slap me with 4 points on it plus like over 1K in fines. I argued with the representative of the district attorney and got it knocked down to an unsafe start charge, one point and a $250 fine. I'm sure you can't do that now, they treat street racing like its worse than murder now so I wouldn't have any idea how to fight it other than getting an attorney. Good luck.

I got one a couple a years ago. I hired a lawyer for 5g's and never went to court, but I stilled payed about 1500 in fines, 3 days community service, but I kept my L's. Thats the only reason I hired one. Gotta have L's to work. So if I were you and you wanted to keep your L's get a Lawyer. They didnt impound my car either. Good Luck Bro ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Damn! 5 'gz!!!
I only paid the attorney I hired $1000
Def get an attorney and you should be able to get it down to a 1pt moving violation and have the misdemeanor dropped as well.

They didn't impound my car either. The cop came in and started yelling at me, cuffed me and put me in the back of his car. The guy I was racing stood behind his car and the cop was being cool to him..... I guess I got the shit end of the stick because I was winning. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) He started yelling at me about some guy getting hit and killed in that same area but I told him I only stepped on it off the line and backed off. I honestly never broke the speed limit, just flew off the line through first and second then backed off. He grabbed us a half mile later. Once he took the cuffs off I pointed out the fact that he did like 90 to get through traffic to catch us and I never went over 45 so he was being more unsafe than we were...... he didn't agree for some reason.

Really? Man, it sounds to me like he should have thanked you for pointing out that fact! I'm really suprised that after hearing your logic, he didn't apologize, massage your wrists because of the handcuffs, then give you a police escort to wherever you were going. That guy sounds like a f'n a'hole. Some cops are horrible huh?

haha same here! my brother and i were racing, they cuffed me and threw me in the back of the squad car. they said they were gonna take our cars, and blah blah blah, but since we are white, they let us off with a "excessive acceleration, breaking traction" ticket. it isnt a moving violation, so its basically a parking ticket LMAO!!!!

I don't get your point. He was yelling at me about some guy getting killed in the same area by a SPEEDING car, I didn't at anytime go over the posted 45 mph speed limit. I wasn't asking for him to take the ticket back, change the ticket or anything. I F'ed up and paid the price, I don't blame him for that at all.

If you and another car take off together it's a speed contest..... If your trying to reach the speed limit before someone else it's a speed contest. I still have the ticket somewhere and it clearly says on it the speed limit and my speed were 45.

He will get charged with failure to appear, which is an additional fine. Also a bench warrant for his arrest.... he will eventually be in front of that stand, with larger fines... and less likely to get anything dropped or reduced.
