going to court tomorrow morning... :(

well i had a speeding violation (15 over) a few months ago and I have to go to court tomorrow morning because I am trying to fight the points.
Does anyone have some advice for me!?

 

Do you have an actual defense? Most likely, you'll show up, they'll give a few points, not the maximum and you'll go home. It'll probably take 10 min. It also depends if the cop shows up.

 

nope but good luck

 

I always take my lawyer, he charges me for 75% the price of the ticket and always gets it erased. Except for one time, but he didn't charge me and I only had to do defensive driving..

If without a lawyer, a lot of times a judge likes to hear your case if youre willing to give it it him in a respectful manner and will work with you.

 

"Yes sir" "No sir" They see respect less and less these days, so they truly do appreciate it.

 

they go much lighter on you if you have a good driving record - oh yeah and dress in a suit/dress whichever appropriate. and do the "your honor", "Yes your honor" "no your honor" thing. stand up straight and beg for mercy clearly.

 

Oh, and dress nice. Im not kidding it helps. It shows you have respect for your self and the state. Im not kidding. Look clean shaven, well groomed, and dress 20 years older than your age(you are 21). Even if its not your thing to get dressed up, I know a lot of people dont care, but it really send signals of respect and trustworthiness. Also maintain eye contact with the judge, they like this..

I speak on this because one of my long time friends dad is a judge and he gave me and all of our friends pointers when we got in trouble back in High School.. It always works better in your favor..

 

i can make a case using some math and the human reaction time for VASCAR to put me within the limit but I dont think i want to "waste" the judges time with that stuff...

im thinking I will ask for a 3111 subsection because that is only a fine and drops the points

 

haha i dress up every single day... like button up/ polo/ khakis/ nice shoes.

lol this isnt a problem for me

 

hes not kidding about standing up str8. i was in court and the judge gave me **** for slouching in the chair. &%$|! b*t*h
