big deep trouble.

[love_boost]

i was hoping someone could shed some light on this.

i got busted for street racing... or so they called it. it was 3am and i was trying to figure out my missfire problem. long story short i went about 170 and i guess the girls that flew by me while i was slowing down were racing me. i dont know were the heck the came from and i dont feel as though i should get a street racing ticket, is there a way i can get out of this? i started slowing down and got clocked doing 155kms and they had bigger problems since they were going way faster than me, i have no idea were the heck they came from.
what realy sucks is the first time i step over the line i get caught, i have never driven that fast on a public highway in any car.


but the due date is december 12 and i got my license last dec7. can i get a trial date pushed and get my full license and get 14 demerits, i already have 1 signal light ticket and 1 speeding ticket for 15kms. so it seems i may lose my license.

im just mad i got nailed for street racing since i wasnt even racing them, i had no idea anyone was ehind me lol.

Crappy luck.

This is an even bigger deal for a gl. I'd find the best traffic ticket defense I could find and put my money there rather than into insurance when I got my license back.

The other thing to keep in mind when you're trying to solve this is that jobs requiring operation of company vehicle will be hard to get for at least three years.

I'll save the preaching as it sounds like you've already know you've screwed up.

Rubbish.......
Don't treat us like average folk..........
You (at 3:00am) didn't see a car coming from behind ?????
In Alberta !!!!!!!!!!
You were being stupid, and you got nailed. Check for your testicles and take the punishment like a real man..
You forgot to tell us your age and testosterone level............

... long story short i went about 170 and i....got clocked doing 155kms ....

Well, it really doesn't matter what they charge you with, as you are pretty much f$cked as a new driver anyways.

You were clocked at 45km/h OVER a highway's limit of 110km/h........30km/h over is EXCESIVE Speeding and a 6 Demerit charge (providing you were on the highway that is....)

What was the speed limit where you got clocked doing 155 km/h ?
....please don't say an 80km Zone......lol

Contest the Ticket..

then reshedule the court date whenever you get that..

this will delay the whole thing for awhile..

then when you finaly go to court just plead guilty, explain the whole story and take it like a man..


but if it works like it does here in BC,, it would be over a year before you even have to go to court and then another month when you request a different cate again..

so you will have time.

i know i have to take it like a man lol and im 18.
just sucks that the first time you do it on a public road you get busted.
and i had no idea the car was even racing me for awhile i didnt realy see anyone then what happens when im slowing down...

i think i can take the defensive drivers course since ill be 2 demerits short and defensive drivers gives you 3

[JD74]

.......

......

You are completely missing the point. THey can charge you with MORE than just racing:
- Excesive Speeding
- Dangerous Driving
- Undue Care and attention
- Street Racing
- ....and more maybe.

It's NOT just Racing, so don't look at it that way. You will NEED a Lawyer and address teh COMPLETE situation.

155km/h is more the problem......trust me.

Common come clean now...
You said you had:
1 Signal Light ticket: as in beating the red light?
1 Speeding ticket
1 (Pending) street racing ticket..

What I do not understand is in Alberta they have bigger roads.
It is TOO DUMB to say you did not see the car behind you specially at night!!?!?!?

Common you drive a skyline we all know what other road users think when they see one.
I myself had an incident where one guy wants to race me..
What he does not know is behind me on my right was an undercover cop..
So I looked at the guy, pretending I was going to race him, when green light goes, I just waited and drive at posted speed, and watch the cop pulled him over.

Kids these days, they think they have bigger MOJO just because they can ******* drive a straight line.

You will need the BEST lawyer to get you out of this mess!

I am sorry for your punishment, but it sounds to me like you are guilty as charge. (see driving record)

[JD74]

Right.....and ONE more thing;

If you were driving a Skyline or other RHD.....

THANKS !

If no one else is gonna say it, I will.......
Thanks for helping to become another statistic that puts the rest of us in danger of RHD Vehicle Laws and proposed Vehicle bans etc......

If you were in a family car - who cares......lol

[dah_hunter]

I have learn my lesson..
take every and all tickets to Court.. doesnt matter how small and petty..

Just do it..

If they didnt take your license and/or car on the spot then this doesnt sound as bad as it would seem.
