if you put it like that, then definitely! Thank you Evo dude... whoever u are...

 

My reckless driving ticket put 3 points on my record here in CA. That increased my insurance to 2500 for 6 months. That doesn't drop off until 7 years. I got mine in 2000 and it is still on my record and should drop off soon. The insurance companies still sees it but some will not raise the premium because it was too old for them to count against me. They told me that its still on there...Now, I pay only 165 a month for 2 cars...You should be happy that he didn't get you for racing that would be worse. 1000K fine impound and who knows on the insurance...GL and hope you learn your lesson. I did when it happened to me...

 

Where in Maryland was this?

 

eh... I don't really want to sell the car though... I love it... I dunno, I'll talk to the lawyer and go from there.

 

Holy chit batmann!!

Be glad you live in MD though, because in CT I am pretty sure I would have gone to jail, and the Z impounded. What did he actually clock you at...110 mph?

Definitely going to have to get a lawyer. Forget high insurance, I guarantee the company DROPS you if you get all those points. And your license is likely going to be suspended off the bat. If the cop wasn't in a good mood, I could have lost my license for 30 days just for getting on the highway, going up to 110 then slowing down (he didn't clock me, but 5 violations total, received a ticket for one).

If anything you need the lawyer just to keep the license and hopefully not get nailed with all the violations. Maybe he can drop the 90+ ticket and you take everything else. Either way, at your age, if you can even GET insurance, have damn fun. $4,000 a year easy I bet (you already pay $3,000).

 

Go get a lawye! It helps

 

my premium isn't _that_ high right now, but i get the point you're making. Still appreciate your comments though.

 

This happened to me when I was 18. i got a 1200.00 ticket where the state tropper caught up with me at a red light after I got off of the highway. He tagged me for 120+ in a 65, doubled the head fund injury fine to 100.00 and drag racing with another vehicle which was 500.00. Luckily he did not appear when I went to court so the ticket was dismissed but lesson learned.

 

Get a lawyer, there is a great chance he can have the other offence dropped but plea guilty on the others.

 

Damn, I dunno man. I wish you the best, but some of us have to learn the HARD way.. I sure did. Granted, my situation was different, but from an accident I had before I got my G, I had about 4pts on my driving record here in CA. and had to pay high rates of $420 a month just to be able to drive until the record cleared. I wouldn't plead not guilty; I'd face the judge, be honest and admit your wrong doings. I'd also maybe ask for a smaller fine to pay. In the end though, you may have to shop for a cheaper insurance.

Good luck.

Yes get a lawyer. I got a Speed Contest ticket back in 2002...got my car impounded, luckily i didn't get arrested. But yes, get a lawyer. He was able to bring it down to a $300 speeding ticket with no traffic school. That's a whole lot better than two points on my driving record...a misdemeanor at that.

 

damn that sucks man, sorry to hear that. As everyone else has said get the lawyer and play it by ear from there.. thats all you can really do

and nice win on the evo
what mods do yuo have?

 

This victory sounds suspicious, the evo got away, he's the one that got caught But seriously that really sucks, definately get a good lawyer wiliing to fight for you. This will cost a lot of money either way so don't skimp on the legal representation. And I'm surprised no one said this already but SLOW DOWN.

 

Unless the laws in MD have changed recently, to give "speed contest" tickets the law enforcement official has to pull over all cars involved and issue each driver with the same ticket. So he is golden on that one. Plus in MD the ticketing officer or the judge can not issue points. They can reduce or raise fines and reduce or raise speeds (yes they can raise speeds if the officer clocked the offender at a higher rate of speed than what he was charged for as long as the officer wrote it on the ticket). Based on the judges decision on these 2 matters it then goes to the MVA's computer system which determines the points. Assuming he gets charged with everything he will get at least 12 points (which means revocation) and he won't be driving for at least a month. Given his age and his priors it is not looking too good. And I am serious when I say good luck keeping your current insurance. Your only chance of being insured will be through a government program that will bend you over and a$$ rape you. Where in MD were you at? Maybe we can help you find a lawyer.

 

thanks. Don't think it was worth it though.
