*gasp*



I got a speeding ticket, I MUST get a lawyer



*gasp*



Ummm.. WHY? Why can't you just pay your fine, know and ADMIT you were speeding and get on with life? What is the big freaking deal?



Oh, and take the traffic school ... (you can go online or in the class). It'll take points off your record.

rfreeman27

mabye because he doesnet want it on his record?

christi

Geezz... stupid

(Sorry, don't mean to call you stupid, but I DID say above that if you pay the fine, go to traffic school (which also reduces the fine) it'll take points off your lisence)

You pay for the ticket, you go to TRAFFIC SCHOOL, badda bang, it's off your record. If you take the course - your points are OFF YOUR license.



Why don't you people quit hiding from your faults, and just pay the fine, take the traffic school, and get over yourselves? Honestly, call my a bitch, I could care less - but really. It's stupid to hide from your faults..... and try to go around the law system because you don't want to pay for it, or what not.

I agree with christi, assuming the laws are the same in other states as in Florida.



please don't hurt me

christi

Even if not...





still, if you go to traffic school or anything to take a schooling for your fault in misbehaving while driving - you get points off your license, unless your state's laws are really screwed

umm ok.



a) he said he has 5 points

b) you are wrong.



If he simply pays the fine and accepts the points they go onto his record, depending on state regulations he will then be put on driver's probation, unless he's already on it (if he is in NJ he should already be on it).



Assuming he's already on it, he will lose his license for more then a year, and have to retake the course.



plus its always best to avoid points, once you hit 12 in some states you are no longer able to get a license, ever.

oh and to go ON topic.



Check the ticket, unless he stamped/circled/checked that he used a radar, you can simply say how could he know your speed without using one.



I know plenty of friends who got clocked on radar and the cop didn't say on the ticket he caught them on radar, so they went to court, asked how a cop could figure out an exact speed without a radar and walked out without paying a dime.

YOU ARE NOT READING!!!



Do I have to put in CAPS all together???





YOU pay the FINe.. YOU go to TRAFFIC SCHOOL (DRIVING SCHOOL) you GET the points off your damn license!! How hard is this TO UNDERSTAND????



And I change my mind,





You're stupid, and apparently do not read.



I got 5 pts on my license for speeding back in Jan. I took the fine, I payed for it, got it reduced took the driving aka traffic school and got the points off my license. Why can't anyone read?

teknics

YOU ARE NOT UNDERSTANDING OTHER STATE'S LAWS.



AROUND HERE ONCE YOU REACH 4 POINTS:



1) YOU GET ENOUGH POINTS TO GET PROBATIONARY DRIVING

2) GO TO DRIVER'S COURSE

3) POINTS STAY ON TECHNICALLY UNTIL 1 YEAR PROBATION IS OVER



HE ALREADY HAS 5 DAMN POINTS, SO AROUND HERE HE'D BE ON DRIVING PROBATION ALREADY THEREFORE:



1) GET ANY ******* POINTS AND YOU LOSE YOUR LICENSE.

2) FORCED TO RETAKE THE DAMN DRIVING COURSE



OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE BEING HYPOCRITICAL AND NOT READING IT YOURSELF.



sorry to be blunt but you got into name calling for no reason and caps using.

LMFAO! Christi, there are these specil little things called 'state laws', and further, 'local laws'. Federal law usually yeilds to state law, and provisions in state law usually allow precedence to local law. Just because in sunny Florida you have certain traffic laws, which may or may not be specific to your locale, that are not necessarily similar to other reigons. I know in Lakewood, CO, where I live, you get busted for 68 in a 45 and the court will send you a plea bargain - in the mail - for an unsafe lane change. Lower points (if any), but the fine stays the same. It's nice becuase the county still gets the money and saves even more money by giving a huge incentive for offenders not to go to court, while giving you less headache and less points (if any). As for the points, 16-18 years are probationary licenses, 18-21 yrs old you get 10 points per year, and 21+ get 15 points per year. exceed your points for any given year, you get a discretionary suspension, from 30 days to a year.
