Re: 22348b Advice HELP ME

Well the fact that you were doing 95 or 98 is irrelevant at those speeds. You got caught, you got a ticket. Being so young, the ticket will really hurt you. Here in NY, you would lose your license, but I don't know the way everything goes in CA.

First off, you have a few options, and you should probably wait until someone from CA gives you advice before you chose.

1. In some states they have an online defensive driving course that will lower the ticket

2. In NY and PA, you meet with the Assistant DA or the cop who pulled you over and you can try and cut a plea bargain with them prior to the trial. They usually will reduce it, to get you to plead guilty and just pay the thing and not waste the court's time.

3. A lawyer in your situation might be a good thing, as this ticket will screw you financially with insurance...if they even let you keep your license.

4. www.beatmyspeedingticket.com It has lots of good info, and advice, it also has a $30 book, that might be worth getting. I have heard good things about it, but I've also heard that it isn't necessarily the easist thing to use in court...so that really is up to you.

As I said, I don't know anything about Cali law, so I don't know which of these would work best for you. Or how your court proceedings go, so you may want to wait for more advice from someone from CA.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.
