Ouch, you're lucky you didn't get arrested. Tickets suck...I just got one recently that I have to go to court for. I hope it doesn't turn out bad.
Good luck with yours. |

well first course of action is to reset the trial date a few times, delay delay delay, then go to court and hope the cop doesn't show up. if he's there, then you just try to make a plea agreement...my no contest for a lower charge of just regular speeding. i'll take the 2 points on my license because speeding over 10% of the posted limit is a greater charge that will result in all kinds of fuckery.

You can also plead guilty and ask the judge for traffic school. I did that for a 95 mph ticket and i got off relatively easy

yea but it was useless. he had literally just finished handing another person a ticket, his lights weren't even off yet, and he flipped on his KA band radar right as i saw him. it literally went from 0 warning to full warning instantly. i have a passport 9500i and i usually get miles of warning, but not this time.

You know what... now that i think of it... don't try my idea. I think i got off lucky cause when i went to court, i got a new judge (really cute girl actually) who listened to my case, haha.

Not sure what your state laws are, but here in California, I postpone, postpone, postpone. Plead not guilty, pay the fine and set a trial date. 10 business days before trial date, go in and file a request to move the date (you can't attend for some specified reason) and then they allow you to choose your date that you can attend. Mine somehow always falls on the Friday of a holiday weekend which= a no show. GL
