What is the name of your state? Florida
Tonight i had just gotten off work. I left work and pulled to the stop light at the intersection.
All the sudden my car starts acting very funny. so i give it gas to stop it from stalling, but the gas pedal gets stuck down, dont ask me but it got stuck down completely. With my gas pedal stuck, and my foot on the brake, i couldn't stop the car from moving into the intersection. Cars were coming, i had two choices, sit and wait for a car to hit me or run the red light and live.
So i ran and pulled over as quickly as i could, i had the car in neutral by then(couldn't think that quickly before), and so i stopped and somehow, without me noticing the thottle had become depressed by the time i stopped, and the car stalled. but there are 4 cop cars already behind me and they say with the loud speaker, "stay where you are, dont move." So i stay in the car, put my hand on the wheel. Cop approaches and i say "office i swear to god the pedal was stuck down." The cop refuses to believe me becuase my car is so loud that it seems as if its going fdaster then it is. They all say they saw me racing in my works parking lot, yet my coworker ronda was in front of me until the light. I wasn't doing more then 20mph in a private parking lot behind another car.
So they arrest me, well hand cuff me, and install me into the back seat, begin to leave and i ask, wait do i get to call my mom, he asks how old i am, and i say 17. So he stops and tells the other officers, and they call my mom and she comes 30 minutes later.
While i'm sitting the police search my car, find nothing except old cigarettes(i've never smoked in my life before) under the passenger side seat. I ask continually for them to turn the ignition off, car already being stalled, and to trun off the head lights. They refuse and act like they have no idea howto turn off head lights.
So after all this i get 3 tickets. Racing on Highway(316.191 subsection 2), Running red light(316.074), and Improper Equipment(316.215)
being that there was nothing i could do to stop the car from going, i cant except that thje running red light and racing ticket are completely my fault, illegal exhaust i can live with.
Is there anything i can do to fight this ticket, my insurance will tripple with an extra 7 points on my license.
What is there that i can do?
