Overweight ticket

If I read this right. You had a lawyer
He'd be tje one to ask.

 

Did I read this correctly?

$8,700 ticket for being overweight?

Wtf!???! Wow

 

Go talk to that county magistrate, or write them. Telling his side of the story.

After all he was making a local delivery.

I dont have much qualified advice to give.

 

8th amendment violation.

Take it to court.

Fight

 

and everyone wonders why its hard to find good drivers these days, if you knew you could get an 8700$ ticket at a mediocre paying career would you be interested?

 

Anything can be disputed in court, dismissed it depends how hard you want to fight and the facts. Obviously this ticket is worth fighting, take pictures of the sign, the location... and present it in court. The thing about attorneys is that most of them care more about milking you than fight for you. When hiring an attorney you must interview him/her so to speak, ask how the attorney plans to fight the matter in court. Any attorney offering to reduce the ticket instead of fighting it is a NO good attorney, just my opinion.

 

You can call Roadlaw for him at 888 276 8000 they can send a lawyer to where court will be held

 

Is this the story he gave you? It’s unfortunate yes but sometimes it’s the way it is. The signs aren’t always right on the road. I good driver knows to look a little more in depth at side roads. Best I can say is to take pictures and measure the road sign distance. It will most likely. come back that the sign is placed within spec per the township. So what your friend will need to do is find a lawyer which is gonna cost him and try and get the ticket reduced. I don’t see 8700 bucks outrageous. Usually a dollar per pound for overweight. Next time your friend drives down a road and sees a restriction sign, tell him not to decide to stop and conduct bussiness on the road. Tell him to get the hell out of there or whatever it takes. Foolish on his part. Hell I have made one of those turns and then saw sign. I put the hammer down real quick
