how many points on your license was that ticket? my buddy just got one and has to goto court soon, im hoping that my wreckless driving isnt as bad as that. . . but who knows we will see.

Mike i hate you! **** man, i hope the judge just drops it to the speeding ticket then, but thanks for the info man, i did a ton of searches and wasnt able to come up with anything that helpful. that was just about the most helpful thing i have read.
so i guess im just going to go into court and tell the judge, what i was doing, just trying to show my friend my new car, and hopefully he will see my clean driving record and just drop the wreckless ticket and give me the speeding ticket because you can lose your license for up to a year for wreckless
seriously thou thanks Mike that was very informative and wasnt exactly what i wanted to hear, but more what i needed to hear unfortunately!
well cant change it now man so fugg it!

Basically, you have options, just play it smart. OH, and what ever you do, DO NOT plea that you did nothing. (you wouldn't be there if you didn't and the judge knows that) Admit that to the best of your knowledge you did exhibit excess of speed, but for a very brief moment.
Very nice Pony. Good to have a LEO on the site lol. You should make us some little note cards to keep in our cars, so if we get pulled over, we know what to say/ask ect. Like ask for the calibration date of the radar gun.
No problem man. YOu can always turn bad news into good news. Remember, with that information you can ask the officer the right questions if you get a chance to address him. Such as: what things did you bare whitness to that would indicate wreckless driving? Ask him what angle he was at, if he there could have been any abstructions. IDK about AZ, but in CA, they HAVE to show you the radar gun if you say you want to see it. If they offer and you say yes, you have to. You can ask what MPH did they radar gun show you were going. You could ask him why wasn't the radar gun offered for visual inspection of hte suspect (you). He mentioned the 'loudness' of the exhaust. You could play that up. after you're done Q'ing the officer, state your case with the judge that you have a very clean driving record and that this is your first time going to court. And offer the possibilty that the officer heard your car and presumed you were driving wrecklessly. You could (pending your employment) state that you are required to have a good driving record and with the way things are now, you wouldn't dare risk losing your employment. i wouldn't do that unless driving is really related to your job though.

thanks thou man, alot of that helps, and i agree i am not gunna go in their with the i am 100% innocent attitude, i know i was speeding and will def not deny that. i also might have my buddy who i passed come in as a witness to say that he agree's that i was momentarily speeding, but not driving wrecklessly. and i was also thinking, the cop said he 'paced' me doing 80, which i think is total bs. i wonder if that will work to my favor in court
just hoping i get a nice judge who isnt in a hardass mood
then my boat anchor can tow you all the way home

I would ask the LEO and your whitness the approximate length that this situation occured. The LEO was at a stop no? He would have had to come from a park (or even low speed) catch up to you, and 'pace' you at a reasonable amount of time for that to be a fair argument. Also, both of your car and his bike's spedometers would have to be accurately calibrated for it to be a viable argument on his side. A fair amount of LEO's dont' like 'pacing' as a point of reference for speeders. Too many variables. They'll still do it though.

Verdad Gallardo Not an LEO. I've known a few throughout the years, and I've gotten my fair share of 'incorrect driving' citations along with court appearance for other reasons. I merely do my homework and pay attention. REsearch...it's what I enjoy doing. I always pass along what I've learned. Isn't that part of humanity, to help each other out?

i was thinking the same thing haha! man, even if my **** goes down in the race, I'll still limp past your boat anchor of a car 
. naw man, I'm just messing with you. Trying to lighten up the mood and ****, since you in a crappy situation.

since your car will most likely be done before the BBQ ever happens and mine is already crankin we should meet at like Firebird, or one of the other tracks, speedworld, or the track near you, doesnt matter to me. but that'd be fun and we could get some video at the track

NOw THAT should play in your favor. NO radar gun, 5 lanes away across obstructions, no nothign. Sounds like he heard your exhaust and assumed the rest.
Indeed. Sounds good for you. And also, good job in admitting (to us) you were at fault. I'm tired of people always blaming the cops. You knew you were in the wrong, and know the consequences. Just the charges itself are now in the question.
my wife got a ticket thrown out a few months ago, when i cop paced her, the judges over here don't go for pacing, like pony said a speedometer has to be calibrated and even then i still don't think its as accurate as a radar gun. we got a ton of info off the net and just read though it. had to though cuz she gets tickets all the time driving the stuff i buy and mod up. i have no idea how i never get pulled over, or when i do i get off. i slide sideways smoke rolling off my tires thru an intersection a few weeks ago in front of a cop, he pulled me over let me off with a warning AND told me my car sounded badass. WTF i told him he was the coolest police officer i ever met and thanked him.
when i first got my TBSS i was playing around at a light turned the traction control off and launched it left 2 huge long black marks on the road then made a u-turn at the next light, cop pulled me over and asked if i knew why he pulled me over, i said "did i make an illeagal u-turn ?" he said nope but you did leave about 50 feet of black mark on the road when you left that light. do you realize i could give you a wreckless driving for that? i was like yes sir, then he said slow it down haws. and let me go. i must have a REALLY innocent looking face or something
Due to an increase of BS in other sections lately, understandable, bump this thread with your mindless dribble so that others will find it and use this instead of the rest of the forum.
We could keep the BS thread open and help steer the crazy responses and members over here. Since this is also Sarge's area too, it's also up to him, but I'm sure he will agree.
You guys will need to help promote this in other areas where guys are acting up.
I am not sure if they will tolerate threads like this on other planets so your BS may be limited to here.

No Homo...Jay you are awesome. Anyway, We will try to keep the other parts clear also. If **** gets weird in the lounge (only Place I really go), I'll post this link or whatever. I'll try too help keep the **** calm...without half our mods, and admins, I don't want this site going to hell. Although, they other planets are nice...
