Got my first ticket in the Nismo

DCNISMO · 11-05-2012, 09:29 PM

Popped for 70 in a 35 zone on a back road. A day earlier on that same road I made a turbo 911 driver very angry that my 32k car was able to stay in front of his 130k car. No kill stories on here or illegal stuff, but rest assured on a bunch of turns I looked in my mirror and he pushed wide and almost ditched it more than once. So Sunday morning I'm on a great stretch of road all by myself with the radio on and I got nabbed. It's in md but I have a DC license, not sure if the md ticket will put points on my DC license. So I'll pay the 290 dollar ticket plead guilty and see what happens. So I need to dial back and go to the track. I'm almost 50 and the cop was maybe 25, he seemed a bit flummoxed that an "old" was going that fast. Oh well pay to play. This Nismo will get you in trouble!

OP, check on the back of your ticket and see if there is an Option #2 to plead guilty but to appear in court. Basically what it is, is you are not contesting the ticket but looking for some mercy from a judge to help with the points. I'm going at the end of the month to do this, but from what I hear is you have to sling sloppy joes at the food shelter or some community service for a weekend in exchange for reducing/eliminating the points.

Wow, you're looking pretty spry there Forza!

Way to go!

sorry... but for the grace of god...

I can't help myself at times, I live and work in the city so I only drive on weekends and once I get out and the Nismo is warmed up its hard not to let it rip. But I should slow down some and I will. I'll have to get to Summit or NJMP in the spring. When it gets much colder than 49 or so, the tires don't grip much anyhow and we are getting to that point.

Send in a check for $295 when you pay the ticket. They will process your ticket and you will have a "credit" on your account leaving it in an "open" status. (Usually it's in an "open" or "pending" status because people have NOT paid, but in this case it's just the opposite) You have a good chance of the ticket never reflecting any points on your license because your account is still "open" even though you paid and are no longer owing them anything. Basically, your ticket gets paid but it doesn't get passed that stage so you never get any points taken off your license.

It doesn't always work, but it's worth a shot. (Clean driving record here)

Yeah I rarely go to St Albert, I found out after the fact that thats a no no. The photoradar was hiding behind a bus stop on the right of the road heading south up the hill. The sad part was I was ignoring the radar detector because it was Kband :/
