What do you think my chances are getting out of this one. I said i was doing 75-80, he said he clocked me @86mph but when i got the ticket he didn't waste any time getting in his car and screwing. He checked off on the ticket estimated & LIDAR what ever that means . Its my first ticket so I have that going for me lol.

What does everybody think?

Not very good. Out of state probably have to go to court 2 or 3 times if you plead not guilty. Depends how much time you want to take off work to try to get out of it.

 

if u wont get no points cuz ur outa state plead guilt and pay the fine

 

If he clocked you then you don't have much of a chance. The best they would do is lower the fine but in the end it's the insurence company that bones you.

 

All i care about is my insurance I have 3 other cars. Does it even matter that I' from out of state

 

20 over ur deff will get some type of moving violation that your insurance company will bone u with

 

NICE!!!!They'll stick to ya any way they can. *******!!!!

 

plead not guilty without a supporting dep. and show up to court. It will get dropped to a non moving violation and you will pay a bigger fine for not getting any points. Been there done that at least 100 times

 

cool thanks

 

If I'm not mistaken, LIDAR is the speed guns that use lazers instead of radar. They can get you from a LONG distance away, and are nearly impossible to detect untill it's too late.

Best of luck to ya anyhow!

 

Not in Mass. They will drop it down but keep it as a moving violation.

 

I got 86 in a 65 for my first ticket from a NJ trooper....I tried to get the points dropped but they said 20MPH was their cutoff for that. They dropped it to a 74, 2 point ticket.

 

Yeah, don't listen to all the advice about "pleading this" or "going to court 3 times". In Mass you get a hearing (representative from the issuing department appears and you both tell your story), and when you lose, you can get an appeal, the due process costs an extra $20, and then the actual ticketing officer has to a appear, and an actual judge (as opposed to the magistrate previously) rules. You have literally no chance of winning either. Bring photos, prove the officer committed perjury on the stand 7 times, and then present Mother Theresa back from the dead to testify she was riding shotgun and you never cleared 60. You drive in Massachusetts, you lose. My only advice is if it's not too much of a pain in the *** to get back here, schedule a hearing and take the appeal anyway. There's like a 1 in 10 shot nobody shows up/they don't do the paperwork the first time, and maybe a 1 in 3 chance the real officer won't show up if you appeal. I make them work for it.

BTW- I assume it's State, but was it? Who's the officer?

 

I dunno... I got a ticket in mass years ago, and I just paid it.. CT never knew I got the ticket, and my insurance never did either... I think that if you just pay the fine they don't report it.


I had goten a letter sayign if I got another ticket, I had to go to driver retraining, and 3 weeks later, I got that ticket in mass... I paid teh fien, and never heard anything about it. I was going 65 in a 45, in the curves on I 91 right after you get out of springfield, laser trap, and the cops had about 20 cars on the side of the road.

NOt sure if they changed anything since then or not.

 

when i got my ticket in mass it was for 100+ over the speed limit...i just got a big ticket and it never went on my record and insurance doesnt know...i had a suspended license in mass for 1 month but i figured consider myself lucky im not in jail and payed the fine....and that 100+ was on rt 6 in mass

 

i fought a ticket in RI and they made me pay the fine, they said because im out of state it wouldn't show up on my connecticut record. they also told me that it would stay off unless i changed isurance companies within the next 3 years and that was a 68 in a 45

 

In RI, If it's your first ticket you can reqeust the ticket be thrown out and they will... providing you do not get another ticket within a year ... havent had to use this trick yet ... they state is too small to get a running start to even speed , plus the natural hazards - the road itself

 

lol im going to scholl at new england tech and i am always afriad that im going to be swallowed by a pot hole on my way through

 

Living not even 30 miles from Route 6 I'm gonna warn everyone here. DO NOT do more than 75 on Route 6 although going down to the cape almost 18 years straight to my cottage in Truro I've gotten very lucky they have not gotten new hiding places on a added note the Staties on Route 6 are crafty *************!
