Hey all. Well i was comin home on the Belt pkwy on friday night. Goin just a litttttle fast. I got pulled over. Aparently i was going 98. Unlucky for me the speed limit is 50 hahaha. Which in turn gives me 11 points on my license. Which means suspension time. damn!!!! has any on in NYC had any lucky successfully talking your way down from a speeding licket? Ive already looked for errors on the ticket itself.. But NONE!!

please guys .any help will be greatly appreciated

Thx

 

You can go to court and plead guilty with no points, which will amend the points right off your ticket. However, you will need to pay a heavy fine , somewhere about $800. All police and the court want is OUR MONEY...
I have a bit of a luck being a gal.

Good luck, and make sure you get a good lawyer, it helps

 

I've never heard of that for someone what was going 48 mph over the speed limit...nor do I know how it works in NY...but good luck. Keep us updated.

 

Sign up for one of those defensive driving courses. It's boring as hell, but it'll knock 3 points off.

One other thing you can do.....don't speed on the Belt....

 

or you can get a radar detector...and when you have a 3G TL...its just impossible not to go atleast 20 miles over the speed limit...especially without noticing...

 

Didn't you get the notice to prohibit before the suspended you from driving? because I did get the notice to prohibit before. Then I wrote a letter saying that why they shouldn prohibit me from driving. The result was they decided nt to prohibit me from driving

 

I've gotten 2 tickets in my life (Ones in western mass, once on the upper-westside of manhattan). Both times I admitted to wrongdoing and the judge ruled in my favor. Interesting how things work. Also both times I claimed to accidently break the driving laws and said "this is my first ticket"....

Which is great to use and next time I get a speeding ticket I'll use it again "This is my first ticket in __ years of driving and I must've lost sight of my speed".

 

funny I just saw this Ad above on the forum ...

just a hunch .. see what they can do

 

If you don't mind me asking, how fast were you clocked at/what was the speed limit? Did you get off totally free? Or did they knock it down to something with a big fine and no points?

 

Speeding on the belt parkway. not very smart. too many places for cops to hide and wait for you to speed by. it mustve been late a night or something because of the traffic unless you got nailed in that long stretch of straightway between the bridge and the gawannis. dont think there is anything you can do except to admit you mistake and beg the judge. good luck.

 

There is this lawyer I know that is ok I guess. I dont have much experience with them but you might want to give them a call or go in and see them. They will try to reduce it if they can. I dont know what they can do for you though.

 

Got a ticket for doing 81 in a 55 on the NYS Thruway just after the TZ Bridge. The trooper was a real ball buster, dismissed my PBA cards, which is fine, but his attitude was just harsh to say the least. He dropped it to 75 in a 55 which would have been 4 points. I went to court, as everyone should do, the trooper didn't show up, another one did in his spot, he dropped it to a lesser charge, no points and $95.00 fine. As a previous poster said, all they want is your money. I got lucky, no points equals no insurance increase. Definitely go to court, but that is a good amount of miles over the speed limit. Good luck

Umm... 98+... really fast.


Sorry to hear the ticket thing.

 

yeah guys its was around 2:30am. gonna do the lawyer thing. Nope no letter yet. this just happened on Friday night. already lookin into a new radar detector. but until then i will slow it down just a little.

yeah i dont know what was thinkin goin that fast on the belt

will keep u guys updated

 

Your lucky no time in jail goin that fast!
Radar detector... You need a Valentine 1 or an Escort 8500 best on the market.

 

98 mph..you lucky you just got pulled over and not killed. Take the hint and slow the hell down.

 

Those cops are swarming on the Belt lately. I have seen sooo many of them especially in the weee hours.

 

I could only the damage you'd do in a 911 Turbo if you think you can't control the gas pedal on an Acura TL.

For the record, be careful on the Belt Parkway. Just as BxScig said, I see cops hiding in a lot of spots that I wouldn't have thought imaginable, like going Eastbound by 9B, there is a huge bush in the grass that I saw a trooper sitting there the other day. Crazy stuff, I think they are finally realizing our tendencies!

Sorry about the ticket man. It happens to the best of us.

 

sorry to say but not in NY, NYC courts arent much flexable without a lawer..i'm from upstate where it's easier to plea bargain, but i got a ticket on the FDR once n when i went to court there was no plea bargaining at all, only way out of this one is a lawer or if you know a cop to call this one and ask for a favor, by the way make sure to get the cops name off the ticket and his precent...good luck

 

I must say that NYC have been cracking down, I think mostly for money and a lawyer will cost a good deal of money already. Now you know why they say the Valentine1 pays for itself in no time.

 

i completly agree with you..this state is dying for $$, i had a 62 in a 30 here in mahopac, i went to court n he easily dropped the ticket to sumthing with less points and a decent fine, all they want is $$$ like you said..about this Valetine one, where can i get 1??

 

Speeding on the Belt Parkway is one thing, I've done it many a time, but 98 mph? That's just crazy, at least on the part I've travelled most often (4th Avenue to Flatbush Avenue--my relatives lived in Bay Ridge and have a house at Breezy Point).

Do not do the crime if you cannot do the time.... Plain and simple. I am sure you were not leisurely driving and said opps i was used to doing 75 and now the speed limit dropped a bit I should slow down... If you have to pay it maybe you will learn to drive better... Doing basically a buck and you are going a little fast... If you are used to doing that all the time, it is time to get a corolla
