Ya, that's going to be tough to explain:shrug01:

Rich Z 08-10-2010 11:30 PM

Actually, I'm surprised you aren't in handcuffs. So perhaps the officer was giving you a break after all.

But yeah, going to be real tough coming up with a valid reason for that judge when you appear before him/her....

Hope you have an otherwise clean record.

What jurisdiction (department)?
What kind of area (commercial, residential, mixed, etc)?
How determined (radar/Lidar/pacing)?

Is it a mandatory court appearance?

If it's not mandatory, I'd probably skip the court and do driving school.
Otherwise, hire an attorney.

Going into court on your own on something like that is suicide (IMO). They whole "throw yourself on the mercy of the court" thing is BS nowdays. All are $$$ hungry and there is little "mercy" any more.

On the other hand, 100/45 is a bit tough to reason out:NoNo:
(Tell 'em your Lloyds mat got stuck onder your throttle:rofl1:)

If you decide to go to court, just tell the judge that the officer listed the wrong car on the ticket and that you were actually driving your Toyota Accord when the throttle stuck:yesnod:

I agree with Shadow. I can't ever remember losing a traffic case and it always ended up costing the defendent more $ (court costs and attorney), plus, traffic school is a whole lot less effort.

My final comment would be :NoNo::NoNo::NoNo:

als2052 08-11-2010 07:50 AM

Just curious...what is going to be your defense?

jcb_njb 08-11-2010 09:02 AM

Stuck throttle, bee in the car, coffee was too hot, had to pee, etc. etc.

30 over is mandatory here....no way I'd show up without a good traffic lawyer, any way you look at it, it sounds like it's going to be expensive....:shrug01:

Scully 08-11-2010 12:24 PM

Just tell him the Truth your a idiot :NoNo: and had a lapse in judgement and you got nothing else to say but sorry :banghead: then ask him if he needs a ride home????:lmao::lmao:

Mark Dalton 08-11-2010 01:11 PM

WOW!:eek: Better than twice the limit is gonna be tough, and $$. Good luck. I'm surprised he let you drive it home.
