Broke the Cardinal Rule...

Yes fight every ticket. If you killed someone's kid, fight that ticket. I mean that kid shouldn't have been walking in the school zone while I was doing 52 in a 30 zone to begin with. Tell the judge you are a truck driver aka king of the road.



This is ludicrous.

 

Listen to grumpy its solid sound advise.
Make sure you talk to the ADA directly and do not try to talk to the court personnel or the judge.
The ADA will be the one who prosecutes the case the judge usally goes along with whatever the ADA recommends.
If your record is clean it should not be a problem.

 

You all for the driver know #### well he is wrong. If you happened to be standing on the sidewalk with your children and some ### hat came flying through doing 22 mph over the speed limit, we would all be the first to burn them at the stake.

Anyone that thinks it's perfectly acceptable and the record should be cleared, God help you.

 

He who has never sinned cast the first stone

 

Well speeding through a school zone.
Doing 22 mph over the speed limit.

Where's the bag of stones?

Or should I say:

Since we've all sinned at one point or another, we should help all the wrongdoers in getting away with the crime?


Everybody wants to yell safety first, the law don't care about safety, the government don't care about safety, so why should we care about anybody else's safety. Right?

 

I am glad you said this because it is exactly what I was thinking. I am going to be the first to admit that I live in a glass house, therefore I will not be throwing any stones at others. Just because I have 3 Million safe accident and ticket free miles, does not mean I haven't done something stupid at one point. Most of us including myself and others like Blackshack have been forgiven for stupid decisions at some point. As long as we learn from our mistakes then we all deserve a break! Karma is a very real thing and in my opinion and when you loose the ability to have compassion and forgiveness for others mistakes, it will come back and bite you right square in the butt. By the way I try to drive exactly the speed limit or below in school zones, but I am not perfect so one day I could possibly screw up in one as well.

You are right. I'm gonna bite my lip here and agree. It hurts too, but I will.

 

The problem for him is, the officer already cut him a break writing him 14 over instead of 22 over in order to protect his CDL. Make a big stink over the 14 over ticket and it may just get ammended back up to the 22 over he was caught doing. Now, instead of JUST a speeding ticket, he's got a "serious violation" per 383.51...another one of those inside of 3 years DQ's him for 60 days.

Yes, the speeding ticket sucks, but tread lightly knowing you've already received a break.
