SPEEDING

[MARTYROBBINS]

Well had a good time a the track lastnight a the track had a bad time on the way home got my first speeding ticket in 10years doing 74 in a 65 on i26 at collage park exit . the trooper was cool though and gave me my ticket fast and did not make me sit there all night i did however have to put the windows down and ride for about a 1/4 mile to clear the truck out

admission to the track = $0

gas to get there = $10

price to get home = $81.50 and 2 points

Ask the judge to give you a careless operation. Same monetary charge but drops the points and insurance reporting.

[MARTYROBBINS]

careless operation is 4 points to allstate they dont care if the dmv don't apply points so i will live with the 2 points i guess and take a driving course for pussy's to get them reduced i don't think is is worth fighting even though this will now be the only thing on a otherwise perfect driving record i think a lawyer would be more and i hate going to court hell i might send someone else to go pay it

[chrisheltra]

I always go to court because they will generally cut the points in half if over 2 points and will cut the fine in half.

[MARTYROBBINS]

yea but the $40 is not worth the half a days pay i would lose to go to court hell i can take the driving course for like $80 and get a 4 point reduction i wonder if you keep the extra 2 for credit

[ForceFed4g63]

If you go to court and plead guilty 9 times out of 10 they will lower your fine but not drop the points.

Careless Operation is a municipality / county offense so Troopers cannot write CO tickets.

Allstate is the worst insurance company on the planet, but a single 2 point violation should not ding you if you have a clean 3 year record.

You are correct, it would not be cost effective to hire a lawyer to fight an Under 10 ticket.

[MARTYROBBINS]

yea i know allstate sucks i had geico but when i bought the jeep they wanted way to much money and i have had bad experance with the "cheap" company's i am a firm beliver in you get what you pay for


oh well next time i will make it worth getting pulled over

[98Blackbird]

[MARTYROBBINS]

$81.50 and 2 points is the lowest fine and points. Don't take a day off to waste time in court. Sorry you got busted man.

I like Horry Co tickets much better than Charleston Co. I didnt go to court for the one I got in Mt. Pleasant just went and paid the fine. My Horry Co ticket(s) were a lot higher fines and had points. If you get a ticket here, when you go to court (everyone does) you HOPE you get the guy judge. He will drop the points if you pay the fine. The female judge will stick it to you. LUCKILY I have gotten the guy for both of my Horry Co. tickets and only had to pay the reduced fines.

I got a ticket one time in Georgia. When I called in to see about mailing them a payment they asked me if I wanted to plead guilty. I said yes and they cut it in half on the phone. To bad all police departments dont do this. It would save alot of time and money.

That's not being a pussy...that's a pain in the ass money saver from hell. With tickets every ten years...you should take it every single time!
