Speeding Ticket #2, NEED HELP ON THIS ONE... Options

[JoKeRkId613]

Here's the situation: 67MPH on a 40MPH 2-lane one-way street. The cop was pointing a radar gun straight at me. He was real cool. He told me he'll give me a break. He didn't give me a ticket for wreckless driving, not having a seatbelt, illegal tints. Thank God. But I have an unlawful speed ticket to worry about. I just got a ticket about 2 months ago for the same thing. 60MPH on a 35MPH. Except this time, the cop WILL be in court and he said he has all his certs and everything for the radar gun. I told him I didn't realize how fast I was going because my cluster right now only reads in km/h since my original one was messed up and i'm fixing it. i don't know if that'll help me. He said he usually always wins the case and that he will again this time. So I'm saying I plead no contest and say I didn't know how fast I was going but it didn't feel like I was doing 67. My cluster only reads in km/h so I think that should help me out a bit. What do you guys think? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What the HELL are you doing going 70 in a 40 with no seat belt on?

Just pay the ticket. 225 isn't a lot, my tickets have all been over 300. When you show up on court on the 26th you will be in a long line of people. When you say: "not guilty" he will go: ok, then I'll see you on court on.. etc. and set a trial date. Or he'll listen to you, and probably tell you to F off and pay the fine and not even offer traffic school.

"No accidents here" doesn't mean squat. You'll get in one if you continue driving this irresponsibly, and when you do, you'll fly straight through the windshield, your head will break open on the concrete and you'll never post here again.

Also, unless you're either lying about driving for four years, or lying about your age. Or, even better, you were driving illegally when you were 14! How fun, what a history of irresponsibility.

no offense to the above 2 posts but i'm not about to pay $225 twice... yeah, i was guilty but hey, if you can get out of it, then why pay the whole thing? im 18.

Why didn't you stop speeding like an idiot after the first ticket? Or for christs sake, at least use your seatbelt for the next time you get pulled over? Pay both of them, and cry about it.

Finally, if he gave you the whole "I win all my cases ****" it means you probably gave him the idea that you were going to take him to court by

A) Being rude
B) Trying to weasel your way out of it 100x times
C) Being arrogant

If these took place in the same city, expect to lose the first case as well. It's not like these people don't talk to each other.
