Got my first speeding ticket! NOT GOOD! - Page 8

that's fast, I hope they are just hard enough on you to learn your lesson, No more, No less. The problem is, it is hard to say what will teach you a lesson (in the judges eyes).. For you it may be the fear of losing your license.. For someone else, they may need a huge fine and suspension. I don't know your personally, and I can guess that it isn't an easy job for a judge to meet someone for 10 minutes and know what is needed to make a difference.

Good luck.. I would probably say at very least be prepared to be put on a driving probation (another ticket and bye bye license)--- But you may loose them for 30-60 days (maybe more)

I got a $750 fine and 30 days suspended jail time in VA while driving a Hyundai Tiburon . I was found guilty of going 95 in a 65. I even showed up to court with a lawyer and in full Air Force dress uniform. The judge had no mercy.

Good luck and get a lawyer.

Don't get me wrong, lots of you are cool, and have my respect, but mustang owners and fbody owners in general are a lot cooler. Lots of you remind me of GTO owners.

If we're bothering you so much then why don't you leave the forums after you're done being suspended.

Robb:: don't sweat it man. You'll get some punishment, but just tell the truth and you won't get the worst of it.

I can honestly say im guilty of speeding each day. Not just cause of the car but just because of poor driving habits.

Looked at speedo today several times and noticed i was doing 120km in a 80 and 110km in a 50....... Both would have gotten my nutsac kicked in if caught.
Do i think those speeds are dangerous...........not at all. In a school bus maybe but not in a performance camaro or any other higher end car. Still dont mean its ok either.

Getting burnt sucks but it happens. I said before in this thread. Tickets are a fact of driving. You just gota suck er up and move on.

ROBBDOGG1986 · 07-19-2010, 10:36 PM

Let me just say this... I was NOT speeding past the store where the cop was! I did not see him even though he was pulling out regardless. I don't know of any kids to be out on a Sunday morning playing in the street... Not that it's not possible. Secondly I was not looking for sympathy from anyone, but was looking for advice because I've never got caught speeding for one that fast and to be in the zone I was in. Who the hell said I was in a school zone? I've got common damn sense not to do that around kids let alone anyone. But anyways I learned my lesson and I would like for you guys to get along and maybe point me in the right direction... Without the smartass comments. I don't deserve jail time... That was uncalled for! But thanks for the helpful input

Not to stir up any silliness... I see the guy was suspended here... but for the record, I do drive the best car in the world. The 2010 Camaro is the single greatest current generation car on the road. Period.

I can't believe I missed this post. You have the audacity to call a guy out for only being here "like a month" when you've only been here for four months?

Seriously, I've been here for over two years and I don't even consider myself a long time member.

For that you'd have to look to people like Tag, Spike, Dragoneye, etc. Hopefully your "break" will cool your head a bit.

When you get a summons its usually pretty expensive. When I got mine it was the option of a fine and license suspension or the option to use Accelerated Rehabilitation. I went with the Accelerated Rehabilitation. I brought a lawyer with me and he wasn't able to do a thing about it.

i'm just curious as to how the cop nailed you for 94mph if you weren't speeding next to the store, where the cop was?
