i just went through this, i had court on tuesday for my reckless driving. My ticket was only 70 in a 50. As i was sitting in the court room I observed that there were alot of reckless driving tickets and very few were geting off. Even with lawyers, all they can do is keep the fines down, and possibly get it reduced to a just a speeding (however much above the posted limit). Now with a lawyer your best shot is to go for speeding 20+ above the posted limit and go for a small fine. But either way the reckless and the speeding ticket are both 6 point offenses, the only difference is that the reckless with stay on your record for 11 years and the speeding is only 5. But without a good record, positive safe driver points and a lawyer, you better break out the vasaline cause you are screwed. oh, and the sppedocalibration rarely works, it works on lower speed tickets and people with perfect driving records. But good luck my friend.

 

Thats the thing with these cars it's very tempting to speed.

 

aussie that cop owned you don't you hate it when they use logic against you?

peter. I was wondering if you would pop in.

 

Mike- I knew I was speeding so I wasn't surprised when I got busted. But yeah, I tried to make an excuse and got totally pwned on that stop. He was an older cop (late 40s I'd say) and it sounded like he had been through the same situation before. He liked my car though

 

Hey "drive slower" is a complete sentence. With subjects and verbs and all that good stuff.

 

Drive - Verb
Slower - Adverb describing "Drive" the verb.


...and where is the subject?

 

oh boy, do I have to go back to elementary school and the "you is understood rule"?

With you being understood, sentences can be complete even if they are only a verb. e.g., "Stop!".

 

^It's a command sentence. The subjuct is the understood 'you'.

(You) drive slower.

Middle school english FTW


EDIT: hahaha jinx!

 

Actually the proper term is Imperative Sentence.

I didn't sleep through all of middle school....
