Big mistake...Despite having the V1 powered up...I got with instant on from the side going around a bend.
Here's where the really stupid part is..speed? 111 in a 65...Sheesh...(this is what happens when you put a lot of hot iron and a bunch of males in one place).
So anyway, I do NOT want to beat the ticket..I am willing to take my licks here...I deserve it, but I do need to know if I can plead for a point reduction or something. I've kept my driving record clean for years (with the exception of parking tix) and was wondering if any of you had insights...other than the obvious flames...
Here in Miami at least it's called. Your options
are in court is Guilty, Not Guilty and No Contest.
But you did 111 in a 65? Here in miami if they
catch you over 50mph over the speed limit (ie:
Friday Night going to foodruckers on a moto, 150+)
they can arrest you. You got very lucky in my
opinion.
Just go to court, Plead No Contest, the judge will
see your clean record. Heck back in 98 they got me
95mph in a 45mph. I thought I was f*cked.
Metro Dade-County Police asked me why was I in a
hurry. I told him straight out, I was racing that
RX7. Yeah I won, but I got the MAIN prize, a SET
court date, not a citation a court DATE!.
Judge saw my citation, I said I was racing. Plain
n simple. The judge saw my clean record, as in
no conviction of any citations, she made me pay
$100 for the speeding ticket, $20 court fee and
$3 for surcharges.
I got lucky, you do the same.
Good Luck
