Just got to be a little more careful. Though I'd be curious if you got 4 points because of your age and the car? Had you been a little order and in a Prius, I wonder if you would have gotten a lot less grief.

Well it's a tough lesson, but hopefully you learn from it and be a little safer. Definitely agree on getting a lawyer and going to court. They normally drop something unless you get a hardass judge.


On a better note, started the Evo up this morning figuring that it would be last of the nice days. I see a Service Engine Soon light on. I was worried since I had just done the 30k service. Turned out to be a Speed Sensor warning. Funny Mike asked me what I was doing and I said, "I was sitting in my garage." haha. Maybe I was going to fast in my garage.

Thanks for the info guys, Im deff going to fight it.. cant hurt anything like you said ian theres a whole other story with what they could of nailed me with to, but they cant prove any of it and it was from another cop who "just head noise" so.... long story... D: but i lose my license any way if i get 3 points or above.... My parents are paying for my insurance and they cant afford 3 points or higher so..
id have to convince the judge to hopefully lower the points to 2 at least and ill do w.e community service.... I cant believe how stupid i am.... and today just got worse cause 1 of my friends made my gf try chew and i just put a whole threw my wall i was soo pissed about that.... ughh what a day.. sorry for my venting :/

Say you're sorry ask for a reduction to 31-11. Disobeying a traffic control device. They keep the fine. You get no points.
Stop sign is 3 points? How did you get a ticket for 4?

Generally if you don't make any material changes to your insurance policy your carrier will often not look and therfore not notice your ticket.

When you go over six points. That's when the SHTF. You lose your license and your carrier will likely drop you.

Then you go into the assigned risk pool with the drunks and degenerates.

^^

Well the new carrier will ask about any violations. Plus they will do a look up. However if they did that prior to this violation, you maybe in good shape.

Love the following:
D) You should buy an American car instead of a Japanese car because we are in a recession, and the Japanese get enough of our money from all electronics we buy and the sushi we eat.

on rt48 there is a dealership that sells nothing but these... they are super cheap, and most of the goodies are left in them (strobes, some times cages for rears, and of course the suspension and motor mods)

An all black one or a all white with black doors would be cool
