So I get home and check the mail and see a letter from the dmv with my name on it. Im thinking its prob something small, but to my suprise its a letter saying i have to take driver improvement classes. WTF,I havent been pulled over or got any tickets since last year and those were all cleared, soo what should i do

 

you should call the number on the letter and ask them

 

yea im going to call tomorrow

 

maybe its a random thing for young drivers.

 

I used to live in NY, and when I moved down to VA I got pulled over for tint while driving my brothers car in the next county over. I had a court date that I couldnt keep due to work, so I requested a continuance. They said sure. Back in NY, when I requested a continuance, they would send me a letter with the new date. Well a month and a half goes by and I didnt recieve a damn thing. I called the court and they said I was granted a continuance, and I missed the court date. I was pissed, because they suspended my license because of it. I paid the [bullshit] fine and went on my way. Two months later I get a letter from the county I live in stating that due to my [bullshit] suspension, any driver under the age of 21 has to take a driver improvement course. And now that shows up on my drivers license report with insurance.

So definately check with your DMV and make sure they arent trying to screw you.

 

this ruined my dam day, my schedule is busy with classes and work now this crap

 

took care of the problem in less than 30 min

 

Nice. What was the issue?

 

i got a ticket like 8 months ago for driving on the wrong side of the road when i was clearly making a left turn but i didnt go to court for it because my passenger said he wud pay for the ticket. But i they gave me a points for it and sent me that letter. So i went to some old driving school i used to go to and got the issue resolved by taking a test that i passed in less than 30 min. LUCKY

 

paying the ticket is not the problem it's the points you get on your license, then how the insurance likes to ripe you a new one with your preminums

 

lol i kno tell me about it now i have it for 3 years

 

You wanna see crazy insurance premiums? Try 8 tickets and 4 suspensions in 4.5 years.

 

idrivesafely.com lol i do this course its is the same reduces 2 points from your dl... i got two speeding tickets one 4 points another 5 points i wont say how fast i was going

 

LOL holy shiiiiii

 

but im sure you are not paying that money they told me to pay 6k a year not even full covarege...

 

Ive already taken the course.

Here's my brief driving history:

Stop 1: loud exhaust and 55 in a 30. Led to a suspended license because I was young and stupid and didnt show in court for about 2.5 years.

Stop 2: 90 in a 55 even though I was doing well over 100mph racing, and I had a suspended license at the time. Got these during the above mentioned 2.5 years.

Stop 3: Illegal tint and driving with a suspended license. This was 3 months after the above stop. Resulting in another suspended license because Richmond courts suck donkey balls and dont like to notify people (they say they sent notices to my NY address, which I havent liven at in 2 years at that time), which led to another suspension due to my dumbass county having some rediculous requirements.

Stop 4: 78 in a 60. Took online course. I was speeding, but not 78 (gps verified).

Stop 5: 85 in a 65 in Jersey. Got paperwork from them on July 9th of this past year, the paperwork had to be submitted on the 7th This ticket was absolute bs anyways, as I had to get past a truck that was trying to occupy my passenger seat, and going downhill + WOT = faster then usual accelleration. Cop couldnt give a shit.

Ive been pulled over many other times for "suspicion". Stop #2 was very lucky though, as I was in NY and was going to be spending the night in jail. Luckily my friends girlfriend was with him and the cop let her drive the car I was in back home.

 

Lols. Surprisingly my premiums have dropped some. Now $1500 every 6 months for full coverage, and the coverage really isnt that great. It would have been about $300 cheaper had I not gotten that damn ticket in Jersey. I cant wait to pay this car off so collision can come off.

 

for me when i was 17 to 21 was about the same but only like 3 suspensions and on one suspension i got two tickets on a red license (to and from work and/or school only)

you cannot take a driving course in the state of colorado to reduce the points on your license or reduce your preminums, i've tried

 

Thats bs. In VA you can take it once every two years I think.

 

3 times careless driving

first speeding 103/55 reduced to 79 suspeded dl for 1 month

second speeding 118/50 racing 3000GT and i won 3 months of suspended dl only one reason did get locked up was i pulled over by self when i saw cop he did me a favor

couple tints tickets

but anyway its nothing to compare to yours

 

in NJ every 5 years

 

im just paying insurance anymore sold car to my dad and got PA plates 130 a month full cov

 

in IL, u can take a 4hr class (online or in class) and 1 8hr class (in class only) in a years time. ive dont both and no going back again for the 4hr class

 

im not driving like crazy anymore next year im getting IS350 6speed auto yeah yeah im getting old

 

Dam civic lol u got some record there

 

Lol. Yea, its not something Im proud of.

Ive stopped driving crazy. The ticket I got in Jersey Im really pissed off at (still) but oh well. Its in the past. I still speed, but with traffic now

 

yea i used to speed alot like doing 120 in a 55 area but at least two of my friends totaled the cars by doing this so im not taking any chances. But that doesnt mean once in a while i dont have fun with the car

 

the piggys have to make their tickit qoutas every month, and they know it is very hard to fight cause it is basically their word against yours

 

Im getting ready to build a camera mount for the passenger seat headrest. If the cops can have a video camera, why cant I?

 

bc u cant record police officers without them knowing about it, and they will say that they dont want to be recorded for their own protection.

 

why would u want a camera lol, and how would u position it

 

1) Id request that they turn theirs off.
2) I have mine on for my own protection.
3) Even if I do turn it off, if I was pulled over for something I have the tape showing exactly what I did. If they say I was speeding, then Ill show the judge the tape, so on and so forth.


Read #3 above. I had a mount in my Civic. Its a very simple design, just two pieces of square tubing, some bolts, and a camera mount. You can mount it on the legs of the headrest, wrap behind the seat and above the center console. It doesnt get in the way and allows you to see alot. It can come in handy for alot of things, and since it isnt in your hands while your driving, its not illegal.

 

ive had something like that in mind for yours haha always thought i was too paranoid/krazy but shit now i know other people think thatd be a good idea too!

 

ooooh actually sounds pretty cool the way you explained it but im not really getting a picture in my head. any Pics

 

Ill try to find pics of my old mount. If not Ill probably post a DIY once I get around to building it.

And Grande - You are definately not alone in being paranoid. Whenever Im driving Im constantly looking for unmarked and marked cars.

 

oooh who doesnt do that lol but atleast ur always searching and prepared for what you have ahead. Also i got all the redlight and speeding cameras uploaded on my gps so thats on less thing to look out for

 

Nice, Im too lazy to upload all the cameras onto my gps
