got pulled over
today i was driving home from my friends cottage. i was goin 94 in a 55. right as i pass a hill there is a tan cop car sitting on the side of the road. i slammed on my brakes. i didnt think it would chase me because it took forever for it to turn around. it was girl state trooper. she was nicer. she didnt give me reckless driving thankfully . how much am i going to pay for the ticket in michigan? can anything happen to my licence because i just turned 16 2 months ago. can i pay the ticket with out my parents finding out.

no man they are gonna find out cause it will show up on ur insurance and ur insurance is going to go up, prolly way up, so just own up to it and i hope that they let u keep the car.

Say good bye to your car. You're lucky you didn't go to jail. You can take defensive driving after you plead guilty for the ticket and ask for deffered ajudication. They usually give a first time traffic offender some slack. Basically, the court will give you 6 months to prove them you're a good citizen, you'll abide the law and will not break them again... "ANY" traffic violation. This should take care of your insurance woes. If you do happen to get another one w/ in 6 months, its time for you to get a SLOWER car.

There goes all your fun dude, thats pushing your luck at that age. How long ago did you get your license. Its because of people like you that the insurance rates are out the *** for us young guys driving F-bodies. I hope you have lots of money to pay for your little thrill and you need to slow the hell done at your age or you won't be driving very long (or living for that matter).

I'm sorry to put it this way bro, but that was ignorant. I'm not saying you're dumb, but 125 anywhere but a controlled environment at 16 is not thinking. At those speeds, you can't control what other drivers do and you don't have the experience to avoid an accident. If you get out of this one without insurance skyrocketing and you still have your car; count your blessings, slow the hell down, and start from scratch.
P.S. Thank you for helping to make my liability insurance cost me (19) 145 dollars a month.

Damn you ever hear of goin the speed limit?? i mean i have my share of fun but i do it on the highway or the track where there is alot of room, even though the highway isnt the safest environment its better than a two lane road. slow down= live longer and keep car longer.

Man, you messed up, end of story. Don't listen to anybody that tries to flame you, because we've all looked down and sped at some point. Was it smart...no, but it was your decision, now you've just got to live with it.
Best bet is to be honest with your parents and tell them what happened now before it gets too far. Its probably gonna suck and you might not be able to drive for a while, but you might as well get it out of the way now.
Good luck.

I want to call every kid's parents and give them the service announcement to not buy their kid an LS1. It's true, everyone speeds, but 94 in a 55? And the part that makes it bad is that you said that there was a cop on the other side of the hill..... If you couldn't see the cop, how the hell did you know there wasn't a broke down car sittin' in the road? I'm sure you learned a lesson, but man... I hope the judge drops the fine and just puts a 6 cylinder in the car.
