| |  speeding and seatbelt violation
What is the name of your state? Ohio
Ok i was on my way home from a Thanksgiving thing at my aunts house. I was doing 63 in a 35 because i really had to go to the bathroom i was going to literally crap my pants. PLUS i got lost and was roaming around some city all day just to get back on 795. Embarressing story ....i also was not wearing my seatbelt. I have no previous points on my license and im also a minor.... Will i get wreckless operation from this? What do you think i should do? My court date is on Dec 21st in Wood County Juvenile Court.  |

| | | As you just saw, excuses like that would just draw a big grin on judge's face, and he will slam you with whatever the charge was, no less, no more. If it was speeding, then you get appropriate points and insurance hike. Seatbelt may or may not carry points, you have to look it up. Do you plan to fight it or just want to know what happens when you are found guilty and pay the fines? If you do want to fight it, a few more questions:
1) How did the stop itself happen, when (day or night) and where?
2) Which code sections did you get charged with?
3) What does it say on the ticket as to the speed measurement device used? |

Given that you have no prior history of speeding, you may just get points, and even that may be less than original charge, depending on how the pre-trial negotiation (if any) goes. |

| | | Ticket
Alrighy i looked at the ticket and the thing says Ord 434.03 and 438.32 and it was a Stationary radar and Pavement was Dry, Visibility was Night, Weather was No Adverse, Traffic was light, Area was Business and Rural, Crash was No....What do you think i should tell the judge to go a little easy on me under my situation. |

I wouldn't be asking the "same questions", because I would just pay the fine and move one! I wouldn't make a mountain out of a mole hill! |

What city was that in? I could not find 438.32 anywhere. Try calling the court on Monday, and getting the copy of both ordinances.
In the meantime, looks like a fork in the road for you: either plead guilty with explanation, and hope for a deal with reduced offense (below 5 mph you get no points), or fight it using radar defence methods you can find online, but then have a chance of loosing completely. You don't need to decide now, just let me know what you think you want to do. You will get a chance to do both, first find out what prosecutor can offer (I doubt it would be that good, bau it may), then make a call to fight it or not.  |

Do you know what insurance will do to the poor guy? They would be sooow happy cause they can start charging him an arm and a leg for 6 years. Keep that in mind next time you show complete ignorance and lack of knowledge of the subject. FYI, he has some options to consider, and that's the issue at hand. He already admitted he was speeding, so now he needs to know how to handle it. |

| Where did $3000.00 come from? I don't recall the OP stating anything about $3000.00 or this not being his first offense! Actually...he said he had no previous points! Therefore...I took that to mean no prior offense!
$3000.00 is a lot of money for a " first speeding ticket"!  |
