So today I was driving to work and I was getting off this avenue that's like 45mph or so for most of it and I ended up being pulled over. The officer said I was going 63 in a 30mph zone and I was pretty shocked. Naturally I think I'm forgeted. Since this is my first offense I really hope I can plea it down to something a bit less severe. I'm not getting much work atm and don't really have much money. Anyone else here have experience with tickets? I'm in New York State by the way. |

you could probably appeal if you were going 10 mph over the speed limit and got a hefty fine for it. however, if you're going twice the speed limit, i don't think they're going to cut you slack. |

But I do have family members who have gotten things like going 120 in a 55 pleaded down so if I could just get this down to 59 it'd be a big difference. |

i got a ticket the night before my birthday for an expired license plate. that was my first one ever which will probably be around 135 dollars (hopefully) i dont have that money either, and they took forever to post it so im about to pay it a couple days before my deadline :)) |

i got a 3-point ticket ($185) for having my traction control off (legit official reason; classified as "reckless driving") only 10 minutes after being told i did nothing that deserved a ticket. im 100% sure he realized he was behind on his quota so he changed his mind. he said i would get some form in the mail that'd tell me how i could get the points taken off, but i never got it. i really cant complain-- ive gotten away with purposely drifting through an intersection right in front of a cop (during a thunderstorm so i couldnt tell at first lol), among other things. never got a speeding ticket or any other kind of ticket tho ^^^ also i've gotten off with a warning for riding with expired plates lol albeit they were less than a week past |
