Tickets - who has expereince, need advice

[A//// Guy]

35W and almost all highways and freeways inside the 494/694 loop are all 55mph or less just as an FYI. You should know that lol, especially just coming out of dtown, no way they would allow over 55 in those tight curves.

2 summers ago I got a 30 over when I was riding with brad. I went to court and got it knocked down to driving without due cause. I think that's what it was called. It doesn't show up as a speeding ticket.

The only way to get out a ticket is when you get pulled over by the officer. Once he writes you a ticket you have a battle in front of you. You can talk to the hear officer and try getting something out them. But you will still end paying se kinda of fine. It does depend on what kind of ticket you get. But any kinda of moving violation you are pretty much screwed. Just speaking from what I have learned over the years. Sometimes its a good thing to lair sometimes its a mistake. Just go with what feels right with your gut.

I so thought you were going to run!

Paul pretty much nailed it though, just have to go with your gut. Have to weigh the possibility of admiting guilt/dumbassedness to get out of the ticket with admiting guilt and getting screwed if you wanted to fight it.

Somtimse a mix of a good story and admiting being a dumbass can help, like when I got pulled over this summer for launching on Washington. New clutch was 'grabby' and I was trying to show off to girls. Cop came out swearing at me and told me to sit on the the ground by the wall. Felt like a 5 year old but he ended up letting me go:biggrin:

One thing about not giving the officer your insurance to get out of the speeding ticket, the insurance citation is a misdemeanor offense when the speeding is a petty misdemeanor moving violation. The misdemeanor is more expensive and with too many of those, the officer can actually tow your vehicle. Imagine if he decides to write you for both, then that day just got a lot worse haha.

Yea, no idea why you would say you have no insurance card with you. Thats just asking for a no proof of insurance ticket on top of the other ticket lol.

The no proof of insurance ticket is so easy to get out of. All you do is get your current card and fax the card and your ticket to a number. In a couple days the ticket is gone. I have done it many of times. No taking time off work and dicking around. Fax proof you had insurance at the time and they toss the ticket.

I've gotten a ticket for no proof of insurance (my card was out of date). I printed a new one, went to the courthouse window and showed them my up to date one, and that was the end of that. So I agree, pretty easy to get out of. But if you catch someone on the wrong day, I've also seen someone do jail time for it (2nd offense).

I personally like to just own up to my mistakes, pay the fine, and just move on. I hate sitting in limbo wondering.

Going to court is base on Counties. I know Ramsey and Hennipen (sp) have a hearing officer and worth a shot. Anoka county is a different story. They don't have a hearing officer and it is just easier to just pay the ticket.

The majority of counties don't have a hearing officer. You get out of the metro and people have never even heard of such a thing.

Aly says to try to get it down under 20 over ticket
Speeding 145.00
Speeding 20 or over limit 212.00

[Murlo26]

I just decided to pay the damn thing. From most of my research at 20 or more over they will just make me pay it anyway.

I was speeding, just going to buck up and take it and move on.

It was in fact 212 plus 1.50 for some BS fee, so 213.50, ouch.

I just find it ironic that I have gotten pulled over more in the kizashi in the year i have owned it and actually got a ticket. Never been ticketed in the evo. Just going to have to drive a little more tame on a daily basis now and make sure to be in traffic while speeding.

Thanks for the tips guys.
