I always speed on the same stretch of empty road and there are never any cops but I left work a few hours earlier than usual and got a ticket for doing 75 in a 35.

Anybody have a good lawyer for this situation?
Or any advice on how I should handle it?

jrcart

Chicago proper or a burb? DuPage or Will I can hook you up, Chicago/Cook you are on your own.

Kaiba

You should stick to your Jetta dude..

Gremlin9

Dupage County.

It happened in Naperville on Washington Street heading north between Diehl and Warrenville.

If you can hook me up, that would be great.

Thank you very much.

It was only a matter of time before you post this thread B... slowwwwwww downnnnnnnnn before "you go to jail" . LOL

Wow another speeding thread by the OP
Dumb choice dude
Doing 40+ in a commercial neighborhood with three signaled intersections is not good

And before it does...

The OP is asking a question to help find a lawyer, he didn't ask to get lectured to by his father or mother. We are all guilty at one point or another of speeding and as the OP mentioned it was on the same stretch of empty road that he regularly on goes.

If you drive an amg and your telling me that you don't have a street or two that you regularly go on that you consider some what "safe" to hit it a little on then why do you have the car? I cant speak for everyone but I am sure not all of us hit up the track every weekend. We all know speeding isn't safe so leave the hypocritical comments to your self.

To the op what did he write you up for? Reckless driving?

Naperville cops are the worst...I have lived here pretty much my entire life. Want to know the irony in all of this, you got stopped 200 ft away from a race track that I bet you did not even know existed. Next time you cross that bridge over 88 look into the BP Oil campus, they have a test track, when we were young we used to sneak our motorcycles on it at night, it was awesome. It used to be a complete 1.75 mile oval but I heard they recently lopped it in half, now it is like a .75 mile straight away with a round skidpad at both ends.

Call Paul Moreschi (630)705-0050, he is out of Oakbrook, he specailizes in Dupage, mostly criminal, DUI and "bigger" traffic violations. I would say this falls under "bigger" since you were double the limit and the states attorney or judge can up it to reckless driving and an automatic 1yr suspension if he sees fit. The one thing you have going for you is everyone hates Naperville cops including most of the judges. Ever hear the story about the Naperville cop that gave another Naperville cop a DUI and he was just barely over the limit, or the naperville cop that had a pregnant judges wife handcuffed and her car impounded over expired tags? Both true stories. I am actually suprised the cop did not hit you with reckless on the spot and tow and impound your car, happens all the time. If he wanted to be real cool he could have wrote you for 69mph so you would not be double. Expect the States Attorney to try to up it to reckless on your court day, they are scum.

Paul has got me out of a ton of crap in the past, he is good, one of the best. Tell him Jim Stancel sent you.

75 in a 35.. never, that is just plain stupid, 100 in a 65 yes, still stupid.. but less chance someone is going to pull into the road from a cross street, or a pedestrian pops out into the road..

he may as well have done 50 in a 15 school zone...

Vic55

LOL

jrcart

It is actually a wide stretch of road that does not see much traffic that basically is just a long overpass over the expressway. There are some apratment buildings at one end but before you get to them there are not even any side roads people can exit on, probably one of the safer areas to exceed the speed limit.

From M to AMG

U got to hate it, but it's better than hitting some Kid in another location one day that seemed, "safe..."

This is OP's, as well as the rest of us, warning to be very cognizant of our, even occasionally, lead footedness.

I thank OP for posting, and for reminding us that with great power should come great control...

moosejaw

By 40 mph?

Kaiba

Did you see anyone of the other threads by OP ?
"Reckless driving" "I'm going to jail" "I want more power but I can't handle 200hp" "I'm 15 and I have 600hp"

Try looking for OP's threads and be back after No offense.

I surely "often" do reckless driving but I just don't shout about it all over the board......

CoolBDPhenom03

I'm sure we've all done it or been close. OP, isn't making excuses or calling BS, he's just asking for help. Sure, we could all pounce on OP, but a) that probably won't change his behavior, and b) doesn't help answer his question.

bsmooth7, I hope you're able to get this sorted out favorably.

jvanbrecht

The problem is, based on his previous posts, his behaviour is not only a danger to himself, but to everyone else around him.

Yes we have all done something stupid at one point.. but this kid seems to be doing stupid **** all the time.

In VA/MD (not sure about DC), you do double the limit and get caught, say bye bye to your license for a good long time.. even more so if you are under 18.

Go back to driving your jetta for a while till you learn to respect those around you.

PaulWdz

Never say never !

Roswell

Chill bro, I know B better than u do.. Plus can u read the LOL.. I was just picking on him.. But yeah, if u follow all his thread about speeding, scaring his gf away & recently thanking his lucky star for not going to jail.. Then yes, I have the right to advise him to slow down a bit before he kill someone or himself.

USCGTO

75 in 35...whoa.. Now that wouldn't happen in a Jetta ..would it?

Actually, based on your previous ramblings you were probably over-speeding all the time, in your Jetta too.

I won't bad mouth you or spew rubbish against you in this thread, but, here's hoping you learn something positive from this experience and that reflects in your future communication.

Good Luck.

Roswell

Btw, Blown63 u will thx all the members who is giving him words of wisdom.. And hope he applies it while on the track with u at the Chicago event.. Cuz u might want to watch ur rear view mirror for a black C63 driven by B Schumacher. Haha!

Blown63

Roswell, I wasn't personally attacking I didn't mean it to come off that way. You guys are right I didn't realize he was the same one who posted all those other threads. Honestly like Kaiba said you can do what you want just don't go around on forums posting it.

moosejaw

My sentiments exactly

Roswell

No offense taken bro, I got to know B from the first day he joined this forum.. I felt bad for him as well at first cuz everyone were bashing him for his multiple posts about the delivery of his car.. But after a while, we became friend through PM.. So I don't hesitate one bit to smack him behind the head when he posts smth foolish. Lol

P.S same story with Guilty. *spanking his butt* lol

Pertplus

Back to the important question: what is that video in moosejaw's sig and how can I make that my ringtone?

MBNiko

After next week I think Blown63 will have pretty much have everything in his rear view mirror...
