well, if you have some family that knows prosecutor etc nows the time to ask favors, just go down to the prosecutor before the trial and try to talk it down. if you think the cop was totally wrong plead not guilty, and then try to beat it or just talk to the prosecutor once again and see if they'll drop it down....you'll still probably get court costs but that beats a hefty fine as well.

woh.... if he clocked you with a radar that gonna be a toughy. the only way to get out of a radar enforced case is by having a lawyer. you will still pay the fine but you might avoid the points. however, that if youre lucky.

all i can say is that these bikes move quickly with out a lot of throttle responce. not saying you were but where i live 20 over is reckless driving and 140 wouldnt touch that around here.they just seem to have a sore spot for our sport bikes.but when i see how somr of the younger kids ride its no wonder they watch everyone. i was ridine 2 years ago on our favorite mountain following a van at 25 mph the cop sitting on the side of the rode pulls in behine me and gives me the buggle gum treatment.i want go into the story but i had to miss a day from work drive 50 miles to court along with everything i needed and it got thrown out of court and i am 54 years young and they make it harder on the younger boys i wish you luck.sorry for your trouble but if he knew you were just trying to pass the slow car he should of cut you a break

1 - Get a lawyer. Yes, it will cost you, but that is your BEST chance of getting outof a ticket (I recently got out of a rwckless driving ticket)
2- Ask to take the Driver Safety Course or ask to go under Court Supervision. These options (if available) are kind of like a "get out of jail free" card for first time offenders.

If it's your first ticket and have a good record, I wouldn't even worry about it. Just pay and be done.

why would you think they will give you a break? trust me, the dmv judges heard so many stories that yours will not even come close to their crap list. if the officer comes in to court he will claim that you were reckless and coked out + other things. even if the officer does not show up, your case will be difficult to fight since its radar enforced.
i know you dont want to waste money on a lawyer but i think that is your safest choice to go with in order to avoid points.
good luck

You could try going to court and explaining it to the judge, and he might let you slide. But seriously though, it's just a speeding ticket. (and you were speeding.) So I would just pay the ticket or go to court, but getting a lawyer? That's way too extreme. I mean, really......a lawyer for a speeding ticket? Talk about frivolous.

Maybe the $400 spent on a lawyer would be cheaper than the increase in insurance premiums. If not, then I would just pay the ticket. You will have a clean slate again in three years.

I would just pay it $140 for a ticket is nothing. just tell them you want to take the class. first it will lower the price of the ticket a little. you go to the class or you can go on line and take it. you sit there for a few hours talking about stupied stuff, watch some bloody videos and thats it. That will remove the 3 pointsoff your license. your insurance should not go up for 1 ticket. Trust me i have been to the class 3 times and a 12 hour class for having my license suspended. i have roughly 33 tickets over the last 8 years. not all moving violations. it is you first time just dont let it happen again j/k just be safe next time. hope this helps
