florida. i received a ticket saying i am doing 73mph in a 25mph zone (thru the sunpass lane on the turnpike) ... i wanna know if i need a lawyer and what to expect if i get a lawyer and if i dont get a lawyer.
i was not doing 73mph since im driving a ford windstar with a transmission problem. the overdrive on my van does not work. therefore its impossible for me to drive 50mph without my van overheating and caseing serious damage to my engine.
99 ford windstars come with 4 speed automatic with overdrive.
at most, 50mph without overdrive, the engine will rev at 3000+rpm
at 73mph, without overdrive, the engine will be at around 3700+ to 4000+ RPM
how is the world can i drive with that amount of RPM without my engine going BOOM!!!
this is not all TALK, i have done a diagnostics at Aamco transmissions and have a report saying my overdrive doesn;t work and recomends my driving speed of not more than 50mph. and in a few weeks i will also have a receipt for the purchace of a new transmission.
bottom line..
can i present this info to the judge by myself, or is it wise to get a lawyer?
