Depends on your age, if you are under 18 then there is a slight chance of your licese being suspended.

yea im 17 going to 18 in about a dew months tho. if my lic would be suspened, for how long?

maybe 6 months?

you'd think you would have learned to watch your speed after the first ticket... heh.

figures.

You could always fight the tickets. There is a pretty good chance that you will at least get out of one of them. Show up to the court date wearing a tie, and plea not guilty, the judge will set up a new court date. At the second court date prepare your case, if the officer doesn't show the ticket is dismissed.

I doubt your license will be suspended, just wear nice clothes and tie if you show in court.

yea i should have learned but nope! so 6 months! not too bad, but it kinda sucks if that happens. but why is it taking so long for me to get the court date? its been almost 4 months! and do you REALLY think that if i plead not guilty the cop wont show up for the nextcourt date? and if my lic dont get suspened, how muchwould you guysthink the ticket and courfees would costs?

Ticket will probably cost $180 per ticket, traffic school is around $120.

As for the cop not showing up, a few years ago, I was ticket for speeding in excess of 100mph on the 14fwy. The speed on the ticket said 103. I challenged that infraction and the officer did not show up, dismissed! So it was like the ticket never happened. Lesson learned, never speed past 90mph anymore. There is hope.

iono if im gonna do that! then what happens if the cop shows up for the new court date? im f'in in the hole! i wouldnt have any case to present! but i got 2 tickets from 2 different cops, so would there be a court date for both tickets at the same time?

Dayum thats alot of ticket in a month or so. look at it the bright side once ur license is suspend you have the chance to save up and get a turbo or wut ever etc.

That depends on the judge, I doubt it will be on the same day. If the cop shows up, just state that you were driving at a resonable speed for the road conditions. Have a parent go with you. I don't know, beg. Ask for a reduced fine.

Yeah, take a parent with you...

My friend got 5 tickets in 7 days...2 for no current registration, 2 for no proof of insurance, and one for driving on a suspended lic

All I could do was shake my head and walk away...thats pretty stupid

having a parent with you helps.

when i got my ticket the judge went off on me for going like 12 over. honistly the judge was like im going to trow the book at you i think he was jelious that i used to drive a bmw 528i lol. but my dad saved my butt he came up and and defended me and the judge then said i will give you the choice sir. should i trow the book at your son or reduce the points. rofl what do you think my dad said. hum he payed for my insurance more points off = insurance goes up so he said reduction of points rofl.

btw you should have learned your lesson one ticket sure you think it will never happen to me but 2? come on dude slow down plus if you where driving 15 in a residenchel zone you should get your butt kicked. little kids run around and stuff.

well its been close to 4 months now, so when do you guys think i might get the court date? and yea i should have learned from the first one but iono, i think i blacked out on the second one, cuz i dont remember seeing the cop on the street.

sounds like what happened to me.....i was 16, got pulled over twice in the exact same spot at the same time for doin the same speed, yeah i was pretty stupid then. both for 20 over. i got outta one and had to take the other, lisence was never suspended but it was damn close to being suspended......i was lucky my uncles a lawyer

take it from me, don't speed often its not worth the hassle
