Ticket say regular speeding or is it reckless driving?

HatefulMechanic

thats the kicker......cause anything over 80 is technically a wreckless.....



all depends on trooper though. should be able to get school since its your first offense.....

You could have it taken.

Get a lawyer, proably get it down to improper driving unless you were a smartass to the cop.

Will save you money in the long run.

If it is written as reckless, I wouldnt be a bit suprised if you lost your license for at least 90 days, thats the price you pay for speeding...... You could get a restricted license during this period, but only could drive to and from work or school, and if your caught at another time, you totally lose your license and it would probably be for a much longer period.

I disagree. I think that since it is your first offense, you'll have to take driver improvement and maybe a little community service. But I don't think they will suspend it. The second time you get a wreckless they probably will suspend it.

20 over is wreckless, as is 80 mph. So, yeah, you may be in for it.

It all depends on the judge. I was caught doing 88 in a 65 on I-66 (off of 81).. and it was my first offense. I payed a pretty hefty fine ($180 including court fee) , and then sentenced to driver improvement clinic. Once I completed the clinic, it was lowered to a 79 in a 65 which is just speeding. I did not waste my money on a lawyer. Good luck with it.

It was not his first offense, a ticket for "drifting", illegal u-turn, and equipment violations were admitted to. I say at least call a lawyer if its reckless, if its not, go to court and dont prepay, because your already on the officer's good side.

if he hasnt been to driving school since he turned 18, he should ask for driving school. i got caught doing 75 in a 45 about 5 years ago. i went in to court without a lawyer, didnt mouth off or anything, and got driving school. ask for it.
