Reckless Driving in Nevada

[jsmithsr20]

So I got a ticket for going 100 in a 55, yikes. Ticket states he got me on radar and it’s says cited and actual going 100mph. My record is clean and I’m 19 years old, the fines add up to $1100 but I’m worried more about the insurance obviously. I’m thinking of getting an attorney but don’t know how much it could help. Any advice is appreciated. This happened in Sparks, NV and the ticket was given to me by a Reno PD bike cop.

A lawyer's likely to cost you more than $1100, and you'll still probably end up with those fines, and quite possibly a suspended license. Bravo.

You should be worried about the 6 months in jail your looking at. Get an attorney.


As an aside: Stop driving irresponsibly. You could kill someone driving like that. There is a kid (your age) in Florida that is gonna be sitting in prison for the next 20+ years for recklessly killing a young mother and her infant daughter while speeding. Actions have consequences.

He's looking at jail time...he needs an attorney.

Trust me, I held back. OP has a "Sr." in his user name which implies he has a "Jr.". If OP doesn't learn his lesson he will endanger his Jr.

Oh, now you're worried about the insurance? Didn't think about that before you stepped on the gas, eh?

If you can get it at all it will probably cost you $4000 per year.

You could kill someone driving like that.

Or himself.

Get the lawyer. If there is any chance to beat the ticket or to at least get it reduced to something less serious the attorney will know much better than you how to do it. Sure, it will cost you some legal fees, but consider that part of the cost for the heavy foot on the gas. And those fees might help you save money in the long run by knocking it down enough that the fine and insurance hits are not as bad as a conviction on the 100 mph charge will get you.

You got what you paid for and more! What a bargain! (I <3 bargains.)

Since there's more than just the fine to consider, get an initial consult with at least a couple of lawyers who are familiar with the court you'll be appearing in. If there are driving safety classes that popular with the local court, see about enrolling in one before your court date. Looking like you are taking responsibility for your actions, and trying to learn how to avoid those actions in the future, can make a favorable impression with a judge.
