A Bad day for me!!! (Another Ticket!!!)

Killa_DSM · #1 05-03-2005, 06:42 PM

To day is a really bad day for me. This is my second ticket so far!! It really sucks, my first one was 98 in a 65 which I went to trafic school for and got it all cleared up. Well today I got it for going over the double yellow line. I barely even went over it but a sherif saw me do it so I got pulled over. This really sucks, does anyone know how much the fine may be? Can I go to trafic school a second time so my insurance doesnt go up or so I dont get a point on my record?

I would try to say it's discrimination. He saw some kid in a import so he just had to fuck with him. That probably wont work but you could try.

If u was in a corolla they wouldnt pulled u over. Trust me i know haha. Anyways i think u would have a tough chance tryn to get a 2nd time in traffic school.

God I hate these Cali cop's, just becuase someone has a nice car they want to pull you over. I was barely on the line and I did not cause a threat to on coming cars, since there was no on coming car!!!

COPS are dicks(or can be)

I dont get why people dont see these types of discrimination being as bad as discrimination based on race or sex. So you went a little over the lines. Who the fuck cares. If it was some old person with $, this would be "oh sorry sir/madam, have a good day." Such BS.

I think just because they see a young kid driving a nice car they automaticly think, "hey a punk kid lets pull him over!". I was very polit to the officer but he was a dick to me. The officer told me "I'm letting you off easy today because I could impounded your car if I felt like you were a threat to me" (but I wasnt at all) He made it sound like I was in the middle of the road, it just pisses me off.

If I were you I would hire a very good lawyer and just get out of it. I've been in court when a guy was pulled over for his tires "chirping" at a light and the cop searched his car and found a pipe. They guy's lawyer tore the cop a new one and all charges were dropped. LOL

That sucks man. The thing is, I doubt that the fine will be that big or even have that large of a detrement on your license or insurance.

I hope it works out...

I know down here you can take defensive driving once every 6 months, if the judge lets you. Ragin dont feel bad, Ive had about 6 tickets in about a year, most were on the bike though. But the 2 that i was in the car the first was legit, but the second the gave me a $150 for passing in a "non"passing zone.......with striped, not solid lines.

Just show up at the court on your date and they may bring your points down. I had an 8 point ticket that I got down to 3 and a class.
How many points is the ticket?

Killa_DSM · #12 05-04-2005, 01:44 PM

I'm not sure about how many points it is, I still have to wait to get the other thing in the mail.

you guys think that's retarded...

our police station and court house are right next to each other and i went to the court house to pay a running a red light ticket (it was yellow but the cops a fucker) and when i got out of the court house i saw the cop sitting at the cop station in his car. he waited for me to leave and pulled me over as soon as i exited the parking lot for a tint ticket. no points and only $20 but I was pissssed. what a bitch ass cop.

The traffic school law here in California is you can only take it every 18 months. About the points im sure its only one point but i know they dont lower the point amount by going to court, but they do reduce the fine. i know there are a few places that wont reduce the fine, but most do.

musicman3x · #15 05-04-2005, 03:28 PM

I have lived in New York and Colorado and when you show up to the court house they will reduce points but never fines.
I had a cop pull a U-turn and follow me for two miles in a 30mph zone. He pulled me over for to loud of an exhaust. He said that I could pay $75 or get the stock exhaust put on. It was also the same cop that pulled me over a week earlier for speeding up trough a yellow light. He explained to me that if I had been a little later to the light and the other people went jumped the green light; I might have gotten in an accident. I didn't even know what to say to that.
And that sucks gthompson, there are some a-hole cops and some good cops, but most are a-holes
