Thank so much again, Jim.
I called this AM and spoke to his administrative assistant who was super on top of things and this guy sounds extremely legit.

Will speak with him within next few days and keep this thread updated to follow progress.

Hopefully, nobody else is in this predicament in the near future, but if they are maybe this thread can be a step by step guide of how to deal with these situations.

One very fortunate thing is that I have no other tickets in past 12 months...

Track season couldn't get here any faster at this point.

You hit the nail on the head with all of your points.
Thanks for being a voice of reason.
I will see you at the track soon.

I've got a pretty good guide on how to deal with these situations (sorry for the profanity):

I like the look of your "Hoop Lady"!
Cheers, Pickles.

I was joking. I still have a skytell pager.

Muhahaha!! The post of the day.

ahahah

wow!! that would be loss of licence where I live........hope you consider yourself lucky.....


Moosejaw: love that avatar

It can be up to a 1 year suspension here in IL too, double the limit can be prosecuted as reckless driving which is an automatic suspension. The cop did not write it up that way so from one point of view the cop was being cool, but if he wanted to be really cool he could have wrote him up for something under 70 mph. States attorney can figt for suspension but judge probably will not go that route since OP said he has had no other violations in the last 12 months, there was no racing involved, it was not in a residential or school zone. The attorney will get it down to probably a $180 fine and court supervision so it will not even be on his record. I have been down this same road many many times with a worse driving record and for going much faster.

The court traffic court system is a big circle jerk, they want you to walk in with an attorney, you are paying the attorney and that attorney takes the judge golfing, donates money to the bar association....it is called greasing the wheels.

You're not the same person that posted about an undercover pulling you over and talking about his SLR are you?

I'm predicting either jail time or a C63 wrapped around a tree in BSmooth's future

fixed

yes he is

Thanks... my mistake

funny you say that...I recall back when I was younger I hired a attorney on the spot once I got to the court house in downtown Chicago at the Thompson Center. I was young and naive and asked the lawyer what shall I say if they ask me etc etc. And the lawyer tells me to not say a word and he will do all of the talking. Once they called my name up there they talked about my case for literally less than a minute and went on talking about how great the weather was and golfing.

Your post just made those memories came back

My thoughts exactly-
bunch of hypocrites

At 44 yrs old I've toned down my speeds, but I do recall pegging my high school cars 160mph speedo on a farm road with circa 1960's suspension brakes........... Youngsters do goofy things....., probably good I did not have an Amg back then.

Good luck with your deal. Sounds like you are good hands.

Take it to the track for some safe fun )

FACT. The (good) attorneys know all the judges and DA's, and few parties involved are truly interested in restorative justice/judgements and instead it's become an automated process of who can and can't get off based on precedent, payment, and relationships. Ever taken an online traffic course? There is no surprise that a drop down pops up that asks "please select your attorney" - its a pre negotiated "out" that has kickbacks written all over it. Lawyer qualifies you as a candidate, you think you got off, and everyone gets paid when their assistant did literally 4 minutes of work and no effort. Just an example.

My guess, assuming this lawyer is as Cart says he his, you get no reckless, and speeding reduced to a standard moving violation that carries a fine and court costs, maybe a point or two max.

I swear by lawyers for traffic violations for this reason....it's all a scam, just pay up and move on with your freedom

Any updates? When is your court date?

Maybe he's been thrown behind bars.... I know wishful thinking... :p

I hope not, I refered him to one of my attorneys.
