Since your a minor, they should let you off with a warning and requiered driving improvement course.. hints my icon... easy class but takes long on saturdays...
I rear ended a van, got a recklass(accident) and the cop let it go when we got to court.. so that wasnt on my record.. then the second ticket I got for unsafe lanechange(accident - 35 grand worth of flipped bmw mess) and I got 2 points and required DIC.. which made it neg 3 on the record... but my dad's insurance is dropping me so, state farm here I come.. fun stuff

I was 17 when i got a 79 in a 50 and i took a class before the court date, did 25 hours of community service and got a lawyer. The judge droped it to 59-50, gave me a $100 fine and 25 more hours of community service. I would suggest getting a lawyer they always get the ticket droped or reduced but without one you will get a higher penalty.

screw a laywer.. when you go in with a lawyer the judge thinks you are a spoiled little brat that gets everything your way...
Just go in there with your mom or dad and tell the judge what happened.. say you learned your lesson and suck up.. a lawyer will screw you over for more than its worth... dont go in there all like your the king of the world and the cop or judge owe you shit, your in their court sucka... you play by their rules

dont get a lawyer..take your report card if is like honor roll or something descent and tell him it was your fault and your paying for everything..like ticket, court cost..you can say your were passing someone but you were still hauling ass so say like i was passing someone but i know i was still speeding..thats what i did with my second reckless 61 in a 35 and i was 17 and wear a tie and look ok and i got the driving improvement class and thats it
