Speeding Ticket..., I'm under 18...this is my second Options

[red94celicagt]

Hey guys, I am from Ohio and just got my second ticket (moving violation). First was from when I wrecked my integra, no one else involved just me and the guard rail. Does anyone know if they will suspend my license for sure? Is there anything I can say in court so that they don't? I don't turn 18 until august, and it would suck to not have my licsense throughout summer. Also, if I did lose and and got suspended driving privaldges to work and home, how risky would it be to not follow this? I have underbody neons...and would dra attention from cops, perhaps leading to geting pulled oer and then they would see I don't have a valid licsense. anyone have any advice or go through the same thing? What should i do??



EDIT: court date is on 5/25/05...coming up soon

I know in NC if you lose your license under 18 you'll have the option to get it back when you turn 18. It determines the law in our state 2 moving violations regardless of how serious it is, you lose your license until you're 18. Check with the magistrate on the law and they might be able to help or tell you if you stand a chance. As far as driving advice without a license I seem to be the resident expert since i've lost mine twice in the past year. The best thing is stay in a group of other cars when you can, stay off of the backroads near rural areas since that is a favorite for speed traps, whether it is illegal or not don't do anything to attract attention (i.e. damage on vehicle, neons, "pigmagnet" license plate) the best thing is blend in with everyone else and the cop won't think anything. Some advice I heard from a retired trooper was that most cops look for someone that is out of place from a group and that is usually who they go for, regardless if there is a car next to you where someone is smoking a joint with a beer in their hand with no seat belt on with three flat tires and no inspection or registration stickers, and the only thing you did wrong was swerve to miss a pot hole, you'll draw the attention and get pulled. Yes it's a little exaggerated and if the cops around here were that bad I would have been gone, but i've been driving without a license since February and the only ticket I got was at a crooked ass traffic stop, i'm not going into that one again though.
