Angry 3 Tickets In 30 Mins!! Must Read! Help!!!

Hey guys,
check this out...

**I just got a new mazda millenia S about 2 weeks ago.
** I got pulled over for 4% tint and 20mph over.
Ok, thats all good i figure.

**20mins later i get pulled over for another 20mph over.

If i dont get rid of one of my 20mph over tickets then i get my license taken away for a good bit, because im not 18 yet. Damn.. 3months away.
Anyways, I just got the car and both of my tickets are exactly 20 over:
60 in a 40
and
65 in a 45

I need to get rid of one or possibly both. The tint ticket isn't an issue right now cuz its non moving and thats no points.
What can i do to win this case...
Spedometer malfunction??
Please help!!

Plead guilty and hope that the judge is having a good day...otherwise, it doesn't look too good...why would you continue speeding 20 minutes after getting a ticket? The judge would probably ask the same question...

"cuz im sure all the cops could have heard that and will happen to look out for that mazda"
What do you mean?? They were on the lookout for me after the first time i was pulled over?
-----
So i thought of what i was going to say... (shortened)
"your honor, I had just bought the car with my dad less than 2 weeks ago as a project car. It had a lot wrong with it. After some work we had done to it the previous night, i took it out for a test run on the backroads (it was a backroad). Officer Crap pulled me over for doing 20 over and window tint. The tint had came with the car and i was totally unaware of the law. Then about 20 mins later, i was pulled over again for 20 over. I know for sure my speedometer read a little over 45. Between 45 and 50 to be exact. My dad took a look at the car and said that the speedometer was wrong so i took it in to XXXXXX shop and they said it was wrong also. They then re-calibrated my speedometer to correct the problem. Here is the paperwork from the re-calibration and here are some of the papers that i had found in the glove box that says the tach and other gauges were also messed up.
I have had a clean record and i will be 18 in less than 4 months. I do not want to loose my license because of a bad luck car right before i turn 18."
Thats a legit story. There were papers in the glove box that said the tach was not working properly.
So what do you guys think?
thanks

If you have papers from the shop saying that the speedo was in fact f-ed up, and that it was recalibrated, then you may have a case on the speeding tickets.

Re: 3 Tickets In 30 Mins!! Must Read! Help!!!

legit story?
it's a reasonable excuse but not an entirely valid one. so er, you didn't notice that most other cars were much slower than you? after the first one, you didn't figure to slow down?
(incidentally, how do you 'look' at a car and know that the speedo calibration is off?)

in anycase, if you really are going planning to say that, drop the last bit about turning 18 blah blah bad luck blah blah.
no one likes whining and whinging, especially not a judge who has dealt with and will deal many more cases like yours for years to come.

You idiot. Pay the price, you did something retarded, now learn from your mistakes, this might take a few years, obivously you didn't learn the first time.

Fuck stick kids like you fuck it up for the rest of us.

I hope you do lose your licence, your a shit driver, the cops are doing the community a favour.

I have no respect for people who speed, get caught and bitch about it.

"oh noes lol i got caught speeding LOL n now i need to get rid of mein fine!! LOL!! plz help i dont wnat to lose my licece"

how about slow the fuck down and not get caught?

No, you're the idiot.


I didn't call you an idiot because I couldn't find the 3rd, I just simply asked where the 3rd was, then I proceeded to call you an idiot because you were speeding. Twice. (Now you're the idiot because you can't read)

Assuming your speedo is off, be lucky you don't get a huge defect notice, and take it to court, happy ending.

Have a good day.

do you have a bigger wheel size than stock because if you do that may set off your speedo by like 5mph i know my buddies speedo is offset by 5-7mph because of his wheels. so u might be able to get it down to like 15mph over but the second speeding ticket well thats just pure bad luck and as for the tint im pretty sure 4% is illegal at least it is where i live so good luck with those
