colorado ticket for "engaging in a speed contest" I live in Texas but am in colorado for work. Got pulled over in my ram for "engaging in a speed contest" the cop was pretty cool and thats all he wrote, no speeding ticket or anything like that.
I got a court date, but wont be here then so am going to have to call and see what i can do, but what should i expect? How much money and i looking at and all?

mine was $356
AFTER being dropped from the 12 point speed contest down to a 4 point wreckless, and a 4 point careless...
I was doing a burnout at a stoplight waiting for it to turn green. Got a call about 5-6 hours later. Guess some old lady pulled up behind me and I got molten rubber all over her car. How is that my fault? LOL
Was an awesome burnout though... couldnt even see the traffic light... kept trying to blow the smoke away (windows were down) hahahah

It's kinda hard to tell you what you're in for without knowing exactly what went down and what your conversation was with the cop.
Those cars were crushed because they were stolen/had stolen parts. It was used for more of an example for others than a punishment for the owners.
If you did that in front of one of my vehicles I would be pissed too. I don't want rocks and rubber thrown up at the front of my vehicle and I bet you wouldn't want that either. Take that **** to the track, country or the industrial park.

Conversation went good. Did not lie or anything. He told menthe wrote I was a respectful out of town working kid. Ran from a red light to about 60. He asked if I knew the other guy. Told him no the. He said not to worry he knows where he lives and laughed. He was by far the coolest cop I've ran across. He could I've wrote me for speeding and such too I'm sure

Points lol! What is it with California?
About the ticket though, if it's like mine it will be anywhere from 350-500. I think mine had another charge on it though.

A point system is one in which a driver's licensing authority issues demerits, or points to drivers on conviction for road traffic offenses. Points may either be added or subtracted, depending on the particular system in use. A major offense may lead to more than the maximum allowed points being issued, but more typically, the accumulation (or loss) of too many points over a given period of time can lead to additional penalties, including fines and suspension or revocation of the driver's license. The primary purpose of such point systems is to identify and deter repeat offenders of traffic laws, whilst also streamlining the legal process.

You are right on the spread (A,B,C,ect.) however it is CVC 23109 Speed Contests that it's under, not Exhibition of Speed.

I've had cops yell at me for many things, however, them saying that they are going to do something is different than what they actually do.

He ended up writing a speeding ticket, I did a trial by written declaration and case was dismissed. Never been pulled over in my camaro, or burban. Been pulled over quite a bit in my buddies camaro never got a ticket tho

Do you work alot in Colorado? First off it's a closed state so they won't report it to Texas. Have a lawyer show up for you and they will drop points for you right off the bat. Then just pay the fine. Fines are really cheap here compared to Cali, not sure how they compare to Texas. My 12 point ticket was dropped to 8 and the fine was around 300.
