  1. Figure out a way to hire one. Work a second or even a third job if you have to. Borrow the money if you have to. Get an attorney "from town" who frequently works the courthouse in your municipality. He will know the prosecutor and he will know the judge, and if he's a decent attorney he will be respected in that courtroom. He will know the best way to get your charges reduced, and like the others have said it will be the best $$ you ever spent. When you hire counsel let him know right away about that nonsense of putting your mom's DL on the form - that was not a smart thing to do. but wont hiring a lawyer be more money then the actual ticket??? and i thought the radar cameras were just a way for the city to make money and doesn't go on your record.. my mom got a ticket going 47 in a 25 and all she had to do was pay a fine of $180 and go to driving school. i feel as if mine should not be as bad cause of the reason why it happend. i know its not gunna be like in court, and that especially that im a young teen but you guys know what i mean. i wasn't like a hey photo enforcment zone lets speed through it and get myself a fine yay. is there anyway to get out of this ticket??? or is all statments final?
  2. what if i can't afford a lawyer...
  3. First: Is this one of those photo radar tickets? Or were you actually pulled over by an officer and given the ticket from his radar gun? If it was an officer, then there is probably a reason why he kept you under the 30mph window (reasonable and prudent). Second: You're 17. You're facing a hefty speeding ticket. I presume this is your first ticket? It's lawyer time. Trust me on this one man, the $500 for a Quick-Draw-McGraw traffic lawyer is well worth it, considering you'll probably pay that amount year after year in increased insurance premiums if the ticket hits your insurance company in it's current status. You have several more years to go before your driving status of "higher risk" is lowered by any insurance company. I DO NOT recommend having your mom lie about who was driving the car, that's called perjury, and is not well received by the courts if proven to be true. CALL A LAWYER before you do anything, and get some REAL advice! If anything, that 29mph ticket turns into a 9 mph ticket, a fine, and a few hours of bubble gum scraping of the local park benches. And maybe a rerun of "Blood Runs Red on the Highway" video at your local DMV. Call a lawyer, period. When I was your age (now 36), I had a whole slew of tickets from when I was 16 to 20. It wasn't until I tossed my radar detector into the garbage can that I stopped getting tickets. I lawyered-up every single time, and GLAD I did! Never had one hit my insurance record, not a single one. Had lots of very expensive "parking tickets", but those were one-off expenses, not like an adjustment to your insurance premium that takes a few years to burn off. It wasn't until just a couple of years ago that I got my next ticket, driving my wife's new Mazda 3GT. Just like a reflex reaction, I grabbed the yellow pages and called the lawyer with the biggest ad. $300 later, my record remains spotless* - *= in the eyes of my insurance company. Today, the cost to insurance both of my cars, both V8's, one 4x4, little deductible, full coverage? $98/month - TOTAL. well it was one of those photo radar tickets. i said speed trap but i have no clue if there the same things. but i know shes prolly gunna act like she missed it. but what everyone is saying is if they write back saying they NEED the driver of the cars info she is gunna have to say its me. cause if she doesn't they can impound the car.. witch neither of us want. but yeah it was not an officer. im just really worried about loosing my license.. :( ill take a driving class.. pay a fine.. i just dont end up not being able to drive it.
  4. i usually never speed but just a few weeks ago. my friend asked how my soleniod was working and i said bad and showed him. it didnt down shift but still accelerated slowely. had no idea i was in a speed trap zone. i think it was total bs that i was going 74 in a 45 but the camera doesn't lie?? im kinda worried now cause i got the ticket and moms mad <_< what am i looking at? i live in phoenix az. and it says speed greater then reasonalbe and prudent. and felony!? im like come on. the only time i do it happend to be there. i feel stupid for not seeing the photo enforced sign but i dont really pay attention to those cause i dont speed. ever. i just cruise listening to my system, im 17 and scared i might loose my licence or get the car impounded. i talked to my uncle and my mom put on the paper it wasn't her and put her DL. there was like a snitch form that said if this is not you put the driver in this car's license and information. my mom is gunna act like she didnt see it. but if they come back whats gunna happen??? i really like my car and have spent so much time and money on my gs loosing it or not being able to drive it will be like a nightmare.
  5. ok well an e46 m3 is my dream car. i wanted one for some time now, and this was the vid that made it hard for me 2 decied between a bmw or a lexus. of course lexus won. that sound around 0:46 how can i get this sound on my 400?? not the inline six sound but that sound you hear when he lets off the gas. its loud. and im wondering what makes that sound. is it the headers? iv hear this sound alot on cars with loud exhaust's and i would love to hear that when im in M mode downshifting or letting off the gas. anyone? im a total noob so help me out
  6. yeah thas decent. when i had my gs300 not to long ago i drove hard everywhere and i got about 275
  7. im not mad... nor was i.... if you read it closley i was told to grow up and i was taking defence for myself. i wasnt mad i was explaining a point.. that come out of knowhere and i never said anyone on here has a problem with me.?.?.. and ya i know people on here are helpfull. thats why i made a post. and starting over is exatcly what i want to happen. i wanted this to stop along time ago but i got slammed on for being 16 and then everyone starts trying to play my dad. im doing just fine without one. i dont need someone to take that role i know my right from wrongs.. i may be one of the youngest on this forum but that doesnt mean i can't be right. i said sorry and i said i was sorry if i offended anyone. and i explained my reason for saying what i said but my reason and a apology wasn't good enough obviously. thats why i was lectured even more, and had people accuse me of being mad. but its w/e i know i didnt do anything that bad. i made a mistake and i apologized. even tho what was said wasn't directed twards anyone and was said to show someone that i appreciated what they did for me. again, sorry everyone for the inconvenice everyone. and you wont have to worry bout me saying anything stupid anymore cause i just found out i got a transmission problem, with the tss or something. and i have no clue whats going on but my uncle said the trasmission fluid is brown and needs to be flushed and he's worried it might not start after that. so in the end if i need a new trasmission and me not being able to find a job, who knows the next time i'll be back on here. peace.
  8. I attribute your comment to the fact that you're only 16. Nevertheless, who's been giving you the gears for you to make an asinine statement like that? This forum is here to offer help from those who can to those that need it. With your attitude, you might find members less inclined to respond to your future posts! Time to grow up! Thank You Sir, eatingupblacktop, As always, Your understanding and timely response is greatly appreciated. ;) i liked the m3 forums cause people weren't like this ^^^^ they understood/realized alot better. i posted this exact same thing on the e46fanatic forums like last year and all the comments i got were like " its what snobby rich people do when they're bored" im sorry if what i said offended anyone but if it isnt obviouse i was thanking the guy for saying what he said in a nice manner, alot of people on this forum slam down on eachother alot for not knowing something or for the way something was said.. do the searching and see for yourself cause im not gunna search and send you everylink. example, see my first post and see what was said to me and maybe that will answer your question to why my 'gears' were going according to you. And thats fine, if people like you think i have a bad attitude, then good. dont reply in the future. cause the people that do understand me will. what i said wasn't even directed to you, and your telling me to grow up?? you honestly need some alone time. just to think, kinda like a time out. cause age is just a number. im pretty sure i wouldn't even be on this forum if i havent grown up. id be having my broke mom fix these problems on my car and just leave everything up to her. Age is just a number.....as you age you will realize it is much more. Regards. ;) ohh i see you found the one thing you dont agree with in my paragraph, congrats. and ok. ill realize it now for ya. anyone older then me has better social skills and a better undertsanding of life. ill start taking your advice buy telling my mom not to listen to her boss cause she's older then him :chairshot: and ill tell everyone i know not to say anything back to someone who's older if they dont agree cause they're always right ill spread that across the world for you my friends.. :P
