I've seriously had prolly 30 traffic tickets. All the tickets were for petty stuff such as window tint, loud exhaust, 10 over, ecetra. They got me for a few wreakles driving tickets and one drag racing ticket. The drag racing ticket was as soon as we pulled out of school and this cop tried to claim I was drag racing but all I was doing is taking off at a light. It got dismissed. The wreakless driving ticket I ended up having to take the points because the cop tried to say my car smelt like pot and i refused to let him search it. He was right but always deny search. Cops in high school would seriously just pull me over and write a ticket because it was me even if I wasn't doing anything wrong. For instance I got one once for pausing to long at a red light. Sorry my parents taught me to look both ways before taking off. The reason they all knew who I was is because my car stood out and I always had huge partys on the weekends that got busted. I had a lawyer everytime I went to court and out of the 3 pages of traffic tickets. (30 or so) I only went to traffic court twice and took points on that one wreakless ticket.

When I was 18 I wreaked the mustang in the rain and brought an 2003 BMW 330i. The bmw just wasn't really my thing so I traded it in for my S2K. I got the S2K at 20 and no longer speed or get traffic tickets. In Feb my wreakless ticket will come off my 3 year record. Knock on wood I haven't had a ticket in almost 3 year.

AutoX has kept me saine on the streets and maybe I've grown up some.


For speeding I always had a shop write a statement saying "my speedo was off" or my lawyer would figure out some way to get me out of it. Cops are so bad in my home town I got 4 tickets in one month once on christmas break. No lie. I really dislike small town cops.



If I was your I'd hire a good lawyer, it will cost you but most likely will work out for you. If it was speeding and you havent pled guilty or any crap like that then maybe the good ol "speedo not reading right" trick could work.

all of my tickets are plead guilty too -___- i dont think a lawyer can do much...
but the speedo not reading right is a good trick i might have to use!!

Wreck, wrecked or reckless. Not wreaked or wreakless.

Oh, JHC. 'Speedo not reading right'? Give me a f@#king break. You get pulled over 4 times during Christmas break? Ever think that you are driving like a f@#king retard? 30 tickets? You shouldn't be driving at all anymore-you are a menace on the road. The next time a police officer pulls you over, you deserve a baton thump across your forehead a few times.

LOL, when Josh Owens first showed up in the R&C, I thought to myself, "What a freaking immature goober. This kid is going to hurt himself or someone else." But motorsport has given him a creative outlet (if not improved command of the written English language) and I've seen him grow into a less immature goober....

I think s2cho should do some autocross once he gets his license back.

Sorry about the poor grammar. I wrote that message at 5am after a party. My bad.

I really wasnt an bad driver. The local cops harassed me.
