well long story short i was goin over double the speed limit tryin to keep up with my buddies
cuz i got stuck at some lights and we were all cruisin around, and a cop came up behind me outta nowhere
and thru his lights on and got me...i wanna kno if i am screwed or what to do as far as arguin in court for a lesser
charge cuz he charged me with reckless driving, which i've searched and that's no joke of a violation...what should i do??

stop talking about and contact a GOOD lawyer.

as some of u may remember i was charged with reckless driving last march and my license
was gone from 5/17 to 12/25!! it sucked really bad, but that incident i caused an accident due to excessive
speeding so therfore i deserved the reckless charge, but last nite i was only speeding....so i am i right to say
that a "reckless driving" charge is irrelevent to my actions? my goal is to ask the judge to reduce my offense
to careless driving, maybe just excessive speeding, what u guys think i got comin to me?

mikej94civex

umm can't afford one, what about public defender?

I'm pretty sure, regardless of whether you got into or caused an accident, that once you're going double or more than the posted speed limit you get a reckless driving charge.

So basically, you're ****ed unless you get a really good lawyer. Good luck.

double the speed limit=reckless driving...sorry but you deserve whats coming and maybe you will learn not to ricer fly from now on

mikej94civex

ricer fly huh? so u never get on it in ur cars, please....and ya i kno i deserve a charge but i don't believe
reckless is fair, i was on a bayfront connector, like a highway with no other traffic around doin about 90, speed limit was
45...so i don't feel that's 'reckless'

im not the one here asking a question about my reckless driving habits like yourself...it doesn't matter if there was no traffic at all because the bottom line is that you were doing a ricer fly by and you got caught now man up and take the charge like a responsible adult like you claim to be and move on.

btw what is your definition of reckless driving...going 90 in a 45 zone is stupid and reckless

Kristin.

From what I've read, you shouldn't have your license anyway.

mikej94civex

your mis-understanding me completely, i am not arguing i should be punished or the fact i was
being stupid...i just feel an excessive speeding or even careless driving charge would be more fair, i mean my buddy on his
bike a couple nights ago got stopped doin 130 in a 55 and only got an excessive speeding ticket, so i just feel i got stiffed...any let me ask u,how
is speeding or going fast ricer? i mean everyone and their gramma has done it

mikej94civex

i guess like u said i just gotta suck it up and take responsibility for my actions regardless the outcome, i'll be back with
the outcome soon

i hate when people cast judgement upon ...

OP you got caught, just try to ask for a smaller punishment (depending on how clean your record is)

and BiG ChOr!Zo ... really? ... a ricer flyby?

If you like driving, a good lawyer will be cheaper than what your insurance is about to go to.

mikej94civex

thanks!

raidacaipo

you didn't learn your lesson from the first incident. Maybe you deserve to get your license suspended again after the judge read your prior record.

mikej94civex

ya...cuz u nvr break the law right

why not judge? people actually get killed doing stupid things like this. Don't try and ignore it.

mikej94civex

wow! it's not like i was doin 90 thru a ****in school zone, i was on a highway pretty much with miles of straight open
road in front of me just cruisin in 5th not racin or nothin....ppl do 70 and 80+ on the highways everyday! how is my incident any different????

mikej94civex

and yes, the previous time where i actually wrecked i was deff being DUMB and flyin around the
city on a public road which i REGRET MUCH and since that day i have never exceeded city street speed limits!! nor will i ever again
i was only goin fast last nite cuz i was on an open road tryin to get back behind my buddies cuz i got stuck at two lights, actually due to me
goin the speed limit, ironic huh

raidacaipo

oh so you were doing 90! but according to you, regular people do 70 and 80+ on the highway everyday..

mikej94civex

by all mean i am not trying to "justify" my actions just simply feel it wasn't a fair charge, but i guess the judge's word is more important than h-t's

stop trying to justify it.

man up.

raidacaipo

I guess highways have stop lights now huh? and I guess the speed limit is 90 huh? your story is baloney. Just face the consequences and hopefully you really learn your lesson this time..
