It was my stupidity! An Audi was trying to be cute :lol:
I checked with a Lawyer, it's only 1 point on my record so no big!
I live in PA and got a "racing on highways" ticket killing a 350 Z with my old Crossfire. That is only like a $185 fine- BUT- either a mandatory 6 months or 1yr suspension- sill a hell of a lot better than what a lot of states do now for racing! I went to court and spoke with the cop like a normal person and he was able to get it "reduced" to a "disorderly conduct" ticket. No points as it is not DMV related, but it was a summons just like a regular ticket would be. Only thing is it was ~$400- but well worth it considering how bad it could have been!GTO judge said:
You're only are getting 1 point for 32 mph over the posted speed limit? It may be in your best interest to contact the state and verify what that lawyer told you. If 1 point is all your getting, your state is generous.
Be glad you are not in PA.
My son had gotten 3 points for less than that.
Did you nail the Audi? :lol:

I'm not pushing it on anyone, just stating an opinion. Did I call you out directly? Newp. Looks to be the other way around, so cool your spurs, buckaroo banzai.kwiktsi said:Here we go.....
Everyone has their opinion and they are entitled to it- just don't push it on me and we're fine..... I do have some sites for you to check out if interested in the subject- mention this to them and watch what happens. This is a big money thing to a lot of people, not the fast and furious crap that people think of lately. I do see a lot of crazy stuff where people race 5 cars at a time with people standing on the side of the road watching- that is downright stupid. However, I have also seen 2000 hp cars go at it in "organized" street races and I'll tell you, they are much more concerned with safety than a lot of the drag strips I have been to.. I'll do what I want, you do what you want though ok
? I am not some little 16 year old punk, I have been doing this a long time.

Going to court to fight a ticket is always a good idea. A buddy of mine, who was routinely busted for speeding (sometimes for just a few miles over, others for quite a bit - just had bad luck) came up with an entire presentation to fight the tickets based on how radar works, frontal area of his car vs others in the area, etc. Usually worked quite well.TWOBIT said:my best friend is a spotsylvania cop he told me to go to cort and plead guilty with an expliantion..explain to the gudge that you have a job that requares you to have a good driving record and the inportance of posted speed limits.you just baught the car hours ago and was not paying att.ask for leanansy.the worst he can do is to make you pay the thing.or best through it out.
Wade M, let me guess, your all about the law, huh? I feel bad for your kids if you have any. Man, let me guess, your also the type that says, "By god, you need to be at least 21 years of age to drink beer!":cheersWade M said:I'm not pushing it on anyone, just stating an opinion.

All the "street racing done right is safe" hyperbole that you're spewing about won't change the fact that:
a) It's illegal.
b) It's an uncontrolled environment (i.e. - you don't have to worry about Joe Schmoe pulling out of the local 7 Eleven).
I don't care how long you, or anyone else, has been doing it. The amount of money involved (sizeable, I know) doesn't change a thing. I don't care what "dedicate sites" have to say about it. Anyone that engages in street racing is a Darwin Award candidate waiting to happen, not to mention a possible future vehicular manslaughter shingle winner.
Want to race? Meet me at the track.
Otherwise, stay off my streets.

I agree, drag racing in town is not a good idea, but if you go outside of city limits on open highways, how is that terrible? And belive it or not Wade, there not just YOUR streets, we all pay taxes buddy, so lighten up. Yeah you have the right to drive your GTO below speed limit all day, but excuse those of us who bought this car that want to go over 30mph.:rofl:
4 points and then suspended? DAMN that is nuts.... My son went over the 6 point mark... he took the class and had 2 points I believe given back.... His license was then suspended for 6 months and after he got it back... The letter stated the state mandates that a reinstated license comes with 5 points. He has to go one year without getting 1 point or he loses it again. I don't think it's right.Robertr2000 said:The point system is different everywhere. A DUI in Cali is only 2 points, (I've never gotten one btw) you get 4 points in a year and your license is gone!![]()
I was surprised too, but the lawyer I talked to does ONLY moving violations, the fine is $350 and I checked the traffic code as well. Only 1 point :cheers
