For the record, I didn't get hauled off because I was OTW to Ft. Gordon with a car full of Army ****. Had 3 days to drive from Las Vegas to Augusta.
The car accident and reckless driving ticket, they couldn't prove my speed. They knew I was going well over 100mph by the length of the skid marks and damage of the accident. They were trying to coax it out of me when they were writing the Police report. I was not going to self incriminate myself, even in my minor state of shock. I was damn near hauled off to jail for a Warrant in a neighboring county, speeding infraction. I think I spent about $2,000 in 2010 cleaning my record before deployment.

It was not the worst one but the most stupid and expensive one. 40 in 25 in my 92 Ford Ranger in Residental Zone. No even going down hill with the wind on my favor will that truck do that is that little strech up hill where the freaking cop tagged me.
Anyway my driving record is not the best one for the past year and didn't had the time to get me clear driving record from Florida. Anyway got a Lawyer and piad $156.00 with no points and +2 in the DMV with the Traffic School. That is why I hate the Republic of VA.

Pssst. Pull over.
118 in a 45 early am hours between two cities about 10 years ago. Was driving my retired SSP police Mustang and took the officer several minutes to catch up to me from his cozy little hiding spot. He was pretty upset at my speed but noticed the car and stopped mid sentence with "Is this an SSP?". We spoke for a while about his rookie days in California and his first cruiser being the SSP car as well as some of the other police vehicles I had restored or built for off duty guys. He wrote me up for 10 over and circled on the citation "73+". Could have been much worse and I have slowed my pace quite a bit these days as things have changed.

I was riding my gsxr750 with my daughter down a suburban industrial main road, when a US mail truck slams on its brakes and makes a quick left turn, my only choice was a fast pass on the right shoulder or rear end the postal truck.
Turns out the local patrol car scene the whole event , turned out the cop didn't give a **** about the illegal turn of the postal truck and proceeded to write me up for 4 tickets, (speeding, passing on the right, no inspection, reckless driving) all BS except for the inspection. End result plead not guilty, requested deposition , court and cop failed to provide it in the legal time provided, went to court and made a motion on my own to have all charges dismissed, judge reluctantly agreed and you know he wanted to throw the book at me, specially when a lot of ppl before me were getting hammered with $250-$300 tickets for one violation. |

Figure I should update... Last year on valentine's day, I was on my way down PCH through Malibu around 3pm in gridlock traffic going towards Hollywood to surprise her at her apartment. Was behind a truck going 45, the speed limit, with all the cars around doing that same speed or less. I even though I know every hiding spot on PCH, I still couldn't get any faster than 45 unless I want to plow into the flatbed truck in front.
I saw a motorcycle CHP in the median and thought nothing of if, a few minutes later I see him weaving through traffic and hand signaled me to pull over. I got out to get my wallet in the trunk, and he said he saw I had no front plate and was going 67. But lucky day for me, he said he'll reduce it to 63 to avoid reckless driving, but don't worry he then said "son, now that I reduced it you can take driving school for a nominal fee and get this all erased from your record, it'll be like it never existed." So basically he admitted he was driving revenue. $450 ticket plus $100 for driving school. The one time I wasn't doing anything, I got pulled over. Go figure.

Worst ticket yet? This past Saturday. Was just cruising to downtown SA to take pictures with my buddy. Speed limit is 65 and I see a new gen charger approaching then finally turns his lights on. I'm like sh!t..... I didn't even notice I was speeding and as I look down at my speedo while slowing down I see 75. I exit, turn the car off and place my keys near my gauges in sight and begin taking out my insurance and license. He walks up and says what's the hurry sir. I just tell him oh nothing really me and a buddy were just going to downtown to take a few photographs of our cars. He tells me did you know you were going 89 in a 65? I'm say wow. I speed but never really this much. Might have just Ben the excitement of going to take some pictures? Idk. I end up getting a ticket for 24 over as well as switching lanes without a blinker which I will admit too.
I am currently trying to figure out how to deal with this since i believe I've already taken DD about 9 months ago and my only other deal is Deferred Disposition. Thing is I'm 20 and apparently for people under 25 if you want to take probation you HAVE to take DD and I don't think I can. I live in SA TX as well so if anyone has any idea as to how I can approach this it will be greatly appreciated. I was told to try to just tell em that I haven't taken DD in the past year and to try to get away with it because its happened in the past to a couple buddies due to te court not keeping track of it but besides that I got nothing except for talking to th judge and just sorry my way into possibly getting out of it and taking probation. Sorry for the long rant. Been a long week Ps: before anyone starts throwing that "oh stop racing on the highways" etc., I would just like to make it clear that we weren't. Just a cruise towards downtown SA to take some pictures and I ended up going faster than intended and got caught for it.

You really think a lawyer would be a good thing to do right now? I've never really dealt with going to court I've just gotten it dismissed and what not but as of right now I'm just trying to find a way out of having it off my record. Paying the ticket is the least of my worries it's just insurance I'm really worried about.
My cousin told me I could speak to an attorney that's at the court after setting an appointment buttttt Idk how much that would help with the judge either
