PM me, please...
Were you speeding? If so, be a man and pay it.

It is cheaper to pay the Judge. (wink, wink)

Yes, I was speeding. I don't want it on my record. In Illinois I had an attorney who would have it reduced to a nonmoving violation. This costs more than being a man and paying it. I call it-
Being a man and having a clean record with no points...

A lawyer for a speeding ticket??
Wouldn't it be cheaper to just pay the ticket? Exactly how fast were you rolling there Geo? :shock:Beach Fanatic
Just use my defense method. Is it really speeding if you're going sideways when they clock you?

JMO...My point is...these attorneys give all attorneys a bad name. I know it is "legal", but, I would guess you never tell lawyer jokes, since you use these types?
I am curious...is this bypassing personal responsibility? Is it ethical?

Now Geo, come on. If you get your points back, you are discrediting those of us who never received a speeding ticket, watering down the soup. lol.

See my previous post.
I want an attorney to help me reduce it so it isn't on my record. If that isn't common here like it was in the midwest then I will pay it...
I'm po'd about the tickets. Yes, 2 of them. FL trooper was a real jerk. I don't want to chit chat. I just want the attorney referral, pretty please...

Growing up in a small town, my friends parents never hired an attorney to make tickets disappear. They had a sit down with the Judge, and usually came out very clean, even a couple of the guys who received DUIs.

Take the driving class within 30 days...I think it is online now. Unless you have more than one ticket. Good luck!

Geo, you need a bus stop. Those attorneys usually advertise on bus stops.

This isn't intented to be a thread on the ethics of plea bargaining traffic citations. I might participate another time if that is where you want to go. But like I said, just looking for referral...
Thanks!

Taking the test online and paying your ticket will keep you from getting any points off.

scooter that all depends on how much Geo was speeding vs the speed limit. School and paying ticket can reduce the points taken off, but if I correctly remember, if you are speeding in excess of 20mph, aka- wreckless driving, you will still get points removed.

Just remember to drive there slowly. ;-)

Sorry, I was thinking it was a minor violation, then reread that he got 2 tickets.
Factoid - you can tell how many felonies someone has by looking at their driver's license. If it ends in 0, they've never had one. Cool, huh?

You can also tell the year they were born by their DL number.

These days, asking for ID BEFORE going on that first date may be helpful.

My oldest son has had more speeding tickets than anyone I know and he took the driving class every time and it always kept him from getting the points so I highly recommend doing it. You can sign up online but you do have to show up in person for the class and it is 4 hours long. Various locations. They will also take 18.75 off the price of your ticket for taking the class. Thank goodness he calmed down and hasn't had a ticket in well over 18 months now. I always knew when he got one because they send those postcards for driving class in the mail soon after.

So, instead of "beating" a ticket, one can do the responsible thing and take a class for refreshing your driving skills and knowledge. Hmmm....sounds like just the ticket!
