just got OWNED
So I got a ticket a couple of months ago... speeding 76 in a 40 and wreckless driving. 
Gave it to my lawyer, went to court today. I guess the judge didn't get any last night and was in a bad mood, said that I had "one of the worse driving records" hes ever seen. He recited my record in 2003 - 9 speeding, 1 careless driving, 1 wreckless driving, 1 illegal lane change, 1 HOV lane violation (all dismissed, 0 points). Well this time the judge threw the maximum penalty at me... $500, 8 hours of traffic school... and 3 focking points. $500 and 8 hours of school is whatever but why oh why the points!

Sorry to hear..
But you've gotten off quite a bit... win some.. lose some...
economy is horrid.. no job = no taxes collected for the state... gotta have some revenue...
there is a huge initiative on aggressive driving...
hopefully it will all blow over in the coming months.

Hey I got a $93 ticket for wreckless driving up here in Tallahassee. I wish I was home in Miami because I could have a lawyer take care of it, but instead I will be doing traffic school!
In case anyone was wonering what the hell I did...just keep on wondering because I hate telling the story.

WOW Mav
i've only had 2 tickets ever, and those were a quarter century ago or more. Very Impressive, in a strange sort of way. I"ve never known anyone to do that. It's a standing record in my book!
Mav, I think you need an 8500 with lidar shifting more than anything else in the world. it's cheaper than a lawyer. Sorry about the hefty fine and school. How did you get so many dismissed? Use the same lawyer everytime?
good luck
