Anyway, something to keep in mind as we enthusiastically head to car events in the early AM

 

Call in sick!

 

Were you going 100mph?

 

i've been stopped a few times but the officer has always let me off (usually after chatting about the car). my wife on the other hand, who is a much more conservative driver, is not so lucky in her klunky SUV. go figure.

i happened to see the link that @srfcity posted a few months ago and decided to try ticket clinic for her. i'll be darned if it didn't work. no points, no traffic school, and we didn't even have to pay anything for the ticket. complete exhoneration and their fee was less than the price we would have paid for the ticket. so i'm now a fan.

HOWEVER, i would talk to someone higher up there about the specifics of the ticket before committing to them. 100mph is a serious ticket and i just don't know if they have an equivalent success rate for tickets in that category. but it is at least worth a phone call.

good luck!

 

Just curious, what exactly do you need an attorney for ? Because you weren't speeding anywhere near 100MPH and the LEO ("Officer Friendly") in the process of doing the job we are paying him/her to do made a serious error or mistake by only assuming you were speeding or he/she caught the wrong car/driver and you have enough evidence to prove it, but need an attorney to present this evidence accurately ?

 

I'd be curious if a ticket for 100 mph is the same as doing over 100? If so they throw the book at you. If not, you can probably still do the traffic school thing and chalk it up. If you weigh costs attorney vs. none you'll probably get your answer of which way to go. If you can do traffic school that might just be the best way this time.

 

I was written up for 97 on the 110 Freeway. In parentheses the officer wrote "speeds well in excess of 100". When I got to court the judge asked me if I thought the freeway sign was the speed limit. I said "gosh no, I thought I was on the 60 sir." Didn't amount to more than a ticket and I wish you the best of luck with this. If he was off by one mph it changes the charge, so seems negotiable.

 

For some reason there are always cops on the 405 N. right above the 10. I've been pulled over for no plates in a brand new car. IDK why there are always there. I live fairly close and always get on the 405 at SM and always see people getting pulled over. At any rate.

I get it, Open freeway....early in the morning....no traffic. You blip the throttle and spin the roulette wheel. You lost. Bummer, find out the repercussions and then decide if you want to hire an attorney. If its a couple of points and traffic school, man up and do it.

If its more serious, hire an attorney and ask for leniency. But in the end, your a big boy and know better. Go save you inner Andretti for some track days.

 

How does a judge even consider a ticket for 97 when the cop writes "speeds well in excess of 100". If you were doing over 100, then he should have written the speed. Not sure what writing up a lower speed when the assertion is you were going well in excess of that speed.

 

He's basically indicating to the judge that the 97mph ticket is already showing some leniency...

 

Wait what ? sorry, I didn't see the op come to the forum to get a reprimand from anyone.

 

Just hope for a very good traffic lawyer, all I can say is good luck to the OP.

 

Cant preach to the choir because we are all members. Everyone here has gone above the speed limit, I included. The main point was we are all big boys and pay the piper sometimes. No reprimand intended, my number just hasnt come up.....yet

 

OK. I wouldn't bother with an attorney then. You can drag it out by doing a trial by declaration with postponements etc. Keep in mind that we're dealing with kangaroo courts these days and you stand little chance of winning doing it yourself, by the time it's all said and done. Or, suck it up and traffic school it. Good luck and the "I was only going 65 as posted" will be great for a court room chuckle.

 

22349 has two parts, A and B. A is speed in excess of 65, B is in excess of 55. I was ticketed for going 62, except the officer wrote down A instead of B. I lost my trial by written declaration but won in my live trial de novo because the judge finally recognized that it wasn't a crime to be going 62 in a 65 zone. The officer argued that the posted speed limit was 45....but that isn't what he charged me with. I was represented by counsel. BTW, I fought it because I have radar and when he lit me up I looked at my speedo and I was going 45.

You cannot win on merits. You will always lose a "he said she said" debate with the officer. The only way to beat a traffic ticket is to beat it on a technicality or use the weight of the justice system against itself. The day I spent in court, the first six cases were all represented by counsel, and darned if the cop failed to show for each and every one of those and the cases were dismissed. Coincidence? It is very difficult to win without legal representation and then you have to weigh the monetary cost and the cost of your time against the cost of the ticket and insurance premium increases. Good luck and slow down.

 

I got a ticket 6 months ago, "alleged" 64 in a 35. Pulled over by LAPD. Went to arraignment plead not guilty, trail date I spoke to officer (in fact at this court everyone got to speak to officer to change their plea). I explained to officer 1st ticket ever, I would drive safer etc and asked nicely for traffic school. When it came he lowered the speed to 50 in 35 and I did traffic school.
$535 later I drive more attentively and obey ALL laws. FYI no lawyer involved.
