I live in California in the SF Bay.
I was driving home last night and did a pretty stupid thing.
It was a bit foggy out, I was on a fairly large road at about midnight.
I decided to stop in the road, and test out my new tires and do a burnout. I didnt notice, but there was a police car parked on a perpendicular road directly to my right.
I stopped, hit the gass, and saw the lights. I litterally did this right next to him. As it was a bit foogy, I didnt see him on the dark street.
I felt as it was midnight, no one around, and not in a nieghborhood it would be ok.
I had been drinking a bit that evening, and I passed the sobriety test, and blew a .032 bac.
All my ticket says is "cvc23103 reckless"
speed Approx=35, PF/MAX SPD=35, SAFE=35
He said I reaked od alcohol, I had been playing cards at a friends and had 4-5 beers between 8:30-about midnight.
I am 6'1" and about 230lbs, and I felt fine when I left, as I wouldnt drive if I felt I was impaired, and being that I blew a .032, that pretty much backs that.
What are my chances of getting the charge lessened, and what should I do.
My court date is 1/15/07
I have not gotten a traffic ticket in over 8 years
