You should've introduced the she-male to the judge... you woulda gone away with no fines, but he would hunt you down later once he found out

Just an inside joke between us

what am i supposed to do just skip that section of the parkway? jump from 70 to 59? i wish i hate that area (the 60s) on my way up yesterday on the state troopers this time in a SUV was right on my ass all i saw was the grille, no light bar or anything i tought it was a dodge ram or something and hes on my ass for a lil bit then flashes hit lights and im like ****!! and am about ready to kill myself, so i go to pull over on the left shoulder and remember i got bitched out about it then pull back into the lane and the dude flies around me doin like 90 with his window down and the last part i hear is "THE **** YOU DOIN?!?!" and hes gone in like 2 seconds, if i got another ticket i think i would of saved my parents the touble and killed myself

i sware they either just hate me, the color red of firebirds, cuz thats the only area ive ever had trouble in!

Brando56894 · 01-17-2006, 06:34 PM

dont complain i had to drop a grand in less then a week on 3 tickets....

$489 careless driving (backed into a car at 7-11 no damage done)
$530 Speeding and Passing on the right (which were both downgraded to a 1-9 over instead of 20 over and unsafe driving)

i would of had 11 points but luckly i only have 2

tastyle88 · 01-17-2006, 06:39 PM

im just pissed i got pinpointed out and had to pay 438.00 for something i was falsely accused of just got a cop in a bad mood i guess

Brando56894 · 01-17-2006, 06:44 PM

same here, im damn sure the cop picked me out for the passing on the right/speeding cuz around me where "grampa" type cars and there i am a bright red, new firebird that most ppl think is a TA. not to mention this ******* was on my ass for supposedly 4 miles (i noticed him maybe a mile or 2 before it happened) and he had his high beams on. the other one i was lucky, but was pissed off that when i went to court for those tickets the old bastard judge kicked me out of the court room cuz i corrected him about the road i was on and where the actual incident happened.

jims69camaro · 01-23-2006, 10:01 AM

get a lawyer next time. you only have to pay most competent lawyers (this is important: the lawyer MUST be from that area the court is in) at the most $500 for a court appearance. and they take care of everything. i've never had to pay the court when i've had a lawyer. it's almost like pay the lawyer or pay the court, and the court can get out of hand very quickly. also, a lawyer might give you a break for multiple appearances if they are within a certain time period.

best advice i can give is to get a lawyer the next time you get a traffic ticket. if you keep going on your own, the judges are going to own your license.

Brando56894 · 01-23-2006, 01:38 PM

yea thats what my brother said, he got tickets for like 4 years straight, i guess i kinda got it from him lol

WayFast84 · 01-23-2006, 02:31 PM

You got a careless driving ticket for a minor bump in a parking lot and you DIDNT fight it?! WTF man you could have gotten that dropped no problem!

Oddball · 01-23-2006, 08:17 PM

I was just in traffic court on the 19th in Westampton. One piece of advice: WEAR A TIE and don't look like a punk!! I threw on a tie and sat patiently with everyone else. Those "dressed down" got a $50 fine more than me for the same charge. The reason for the lower fine: the tie showed respect to the court. The fines are at the discretion of the judge.

i thought they were going to do that since the judge told me to leave the first time when i told him it happened in a parking lot....

Savage_Messiah · 01-23-2006, 11:58 PM

Yea def. dress up... I don't do ties but may if I need to in teh future, but even just wearing a dress shirt, suit pants, and nice shoes I had a prosecutor once thank me and comment how so few people have the decency to put in a little effort to look nice in court, and thanked me for showing respect...

On the other hand I purposely went as ragged as possible to Hawthorne for the ticket that I got for driving while suspended the day I got my license restored... the DMV ptu in the wrong date, I said screw them all this ticket has no groudns anyway.

But every time I had a ticket I deserved I dressed ncie. It also helps a LOT that with my dad's benefits from work there's a lawyer network but yea... gotta make due with what ya got.
