Angry Speeding Ticket

I am really f***ing pissed. I just got my first speeding ticket.
going 61 in a 45

he was on the other side of the road, so he went up and flip a u-turn the threw on his lights when i was at a red light.
This really sucks, what do i do?

call the court and request probation, you will have to pay a fine and do defensive driving (if you're under 25). It will stay off your record, assuming you don't get any other tickets within the probation period. You could also hire an attorney, but he will probably get you what was stated above.

just pend the ticket for the duration of the probation period. At the end of probation, they will check your drivers record (i believe) and if there are no convictions on there for additional moving violations during the probation perios, then the ticket is dismissed.

Yea just do defensive driving, request it with the court (they'll say yes) you pay smaller fine and take defensive driving. You can do that once a year (i've done it almost every year i've had my license).

That's not that bad. However i do recommend a better radar detector. Since i got my V1 i'd had no problems at all. They're not a sure fire way outa tickets, but they help, esp if you have a good one.

GL man, it's not that bad

Do a request for discovery from the ticketing agency and fight it all the way!!!

Request for Discovery is where they are legally bound to give you a duplicate copy of everything, notes and such the officer used when pulling you over. When you send it, send it via registered mail so they have to sign for it and when you go to court and they haven't given it to you, you can request dismissal based on the grounds the ticketing agency isn't cooperationg. . .

My two cents!
