Got Caught I think this is the forum to ask this, if not i am sorry. I got a ticket the other day for exhibition of acceleration, though i dont think i was, the cop was a ***. What is the usual punishment for this? On the ticket i just have a court date, and i only have one ticket before this on my record of careless driving.
damn man, i got an exhibition of speed ticket once for chirping my tires going from 1st to 2nd when i had first bought my Z28. i went to court, and they said i had to plead guilty or not guilty, i wanted to plead not guilty. the only thing was i missed the first court appointment, so i couldnt leave the courthouse without paying the bail first just in case i lost the court trial, which is in december... anyway, it ended up costing me 1600 bucks to leave that damn courthouse all because i wasnt used to driving my car yet. i also think it counts as 2 points on your lisence.

I hope it isnt 4 points, cause my careless driving got me 4, and here in Nebraska at 12 you loose your license for a year. I dont need that. Plus, i didnt even spin the tires, i didnt even think i was accelerating fast, i just went through first gear and took the rpm a little higher than usual, making my exhaust louder and appear as though i was going fast, and shifted to second then coasted. He said that he clocked me doing 53 in a 30, but that is total bull crap, for me to be going 53 in that short of a distance i would have had to be totally on it, which i wasnt.

Exhibition of acceleration? Are you ******' kidding? Were you speeding, swerving, or driving like an *** in general or is this completely bogus? I don't see how you could not get out of this ticket if you were just accelerating fairly quickly up to the speed limit without burning the tires or anything. ******' cops. If he actually wrote "exhibition of acceleration" as the infraction on the ticket then any judge that isn't retarded will drop it. Hell, you can't drive and keep from accelerating.

the speed limit there is 30, and i was going around 42ish (i didnt really look at the speedometer since i didnt think i was doing anything), but he claims that he radared me at 53 but didnt write anything at all about speeding on the ticket, it literally says "exhibition of acceleration". And, today right after i got done talking to that fagget cop i went to the county attourneys office to fight it and he just said that he would have to get in contact with the police officer that pulled me over and he would call me early next week and talk about it. He could possibly take it down to just taking the stop class or something if he is nice. If he ends up being on the cops side and does nothing im going to get my attourney in on this to appear with me at the court date.

What makes it suck so bad is that the only reason this happened is becuase i go to school here in this little town of York, NE. If this would have happened in Omaha, NE(where im from, big city) i wouldn't have even been pulled over, or if i had it would have been just a warning.

all the advice isn't gonna do you **** on here, except probably fill you with worthless information. if you have a ticket on your record, especially one of careless and wreckless driving, you need to consult an attorney, hopefully they can get it dismissed, or reduced, this is your best option. if you show up in court and plead not guilty, they will hammer you if you don't have and attorney, pay a lil money, and get off easy, you will save money in the long run
