Sorry, that's what I meant, if he gets convicted.

He shouldn't rely on the cop not showing....considering the court will pay them ~$300 to show up.

I agree with you, good lawyer will drop the charge down to a more minor infraction. What matters is what you end up being convicted with. The more minor it is, the less the insurance companies will increase your rates by. Spending the ~$200 for a a good lawyer will pay off in the end with your insurance company.

My hope is that a good lawyer $200 to $500 can get the charge reduced, then I will take driving school to help with the insurance hike.

You are really fortunate. I had a friend that was hauled off to jail along that stretch for doing 120.

Like I said, the cop was going to, and inpound my car. After about 20 minutes of lectures from him, and me sucking up, he let me go with just the ticket and not jail.

Brad,

Welcome to TEAM IRVINE, you are now INITIATED into the club. Every Single member that we had, has had a Speeding ticket.

It was all worth it right brad, all the PEOPLE that you met, all the FUN that you had, ALL the CONTACTS that you made. Hmmm. Next week, Azizona, I KNOW you will have FUN. See you in the clinic this afternoon, Mas will be there and Darkcrow will be there getting treated also.

Just more lectureing, in california you will have you licance suspended for going over 105+ no ifs and or butts. If you have a really good layer they will get it down to 104.5 mph and you will get 2 points as it is reckless driving. Trust me three of my freinds are walking to work still as they have no car or licance anymore. Another got off fine though with a hug ticket 800+ and 2 points. he got a lecture from the judge and had to write a essay of all things. These were all juvinal offenders if your over 18 get your walking stick warmed up as I doubt you will be driving for the next 6 months. That being said is your driving freedom worth 500 for 6 months, most likly so go get the best layer that you can find and pray to the S2000 every night that the cop gets a head cold or wis the lottery and does not show up as that is the only way you are going to get away with this.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.

I have been pulled over quite a few times so far only fix it tickets and stupid things like no tail lights but some day I will be busted I just hope I don't have a lapse of concentraion or a snealy cop come up on me next time I drive to vegas.
