Got pulled over

[Legacy]

Well i decided to race a 240 sx today, and about 7 seconds into it we passed two cops who immediatly turned and came after us. To make a long story short he said i was doing 60 in a 35, and i was def. doing all of that. The kid i was racing got a ticket for 75 in a 35. Im going to court on the ticket cause if it goes through ill lose my license, the sorta funny thing about this (but not really) is i was beating him. But on the ticket, the cop never checked off any of the boxes for posted speed, not posted, lidar, clocked, radar, estimated. So im wondering if i can use it to my advantage and get outa it.

But, you were caught in whats called a ''Contest of speed'' Which is punishable By jail time, and loss of licence... In California they will also crush your vehicle and you will be responsible for the note if you are still paying on it...
Plea it down, ask for community service... Whatever you do try and get it defered. If you do It wont stay on your record. Dont just take the ticket. Also might wanna call a lawyer. Imo

I would fight it since they it's not checked for radar. although if they go they could bust you out on the racing. I have beat that one b4.

Im def. gonna fight it cause the cop said nothing about the racing cause we both said we didnt kno each other and we were just driving so the cops didnt even kno, im in Mass. also. But i wouldnt be able to get community service, id just loose my license.

Well I am sure you can still get it deferred... just talk with the prosecutor, and ask for a deferral, Defencive driving might be out of the question, but its all bargaining. do whatever you have to, just don't settle for paying the fine, you will regret it when it affects your job 2 years from now... Paying a fine= admit to guilt= on your record...

Ok im going to send the ticket in to fight it then, it was a 250 fine, and if i do lose my license ill have to pay that, and go to a road rage course and then id lose my license for 90 days, so basically, ima fight this and hope i dont lose.

deferring isnt really ''fighting it'' its more like begging for mercy lol. Basically you would be asking the Judge for a break. He would then ask the Prosecutor, then give you a sentence. If you work it out with the prosecutor, you might just get a slap on the wrist... BTW road rage classes are good for you, and allot better than Jail time. The fact that the cop didnt check a box probably wont make a difference unless you plead not guilty. But if you loose, they will throw the book at you. Expect Jail time, Fines court cost, even a charge of wreck-less endangerment. These charges will stick forever... Contact a lawyer before you make any decisions. Im not familiar with the laws up there, but Im pretty sure you can walk away with your licence and just a slap on the wrist''crazy driver'' classes... Oh yeah I bet you wont be racing the rice boys in public anymore huh?

Don't try to fight it alone, get a lawyer. Judges say that a man who tries to defend himself has a fool for a lawyer.
