Speeding tickets + driver's error = oh crap

[///M3DarkSide]

So about 1-1.5 years ago I got a string of 3 tickets, all on the same stretch of highway in South Carolina. At the time of the first ticket, I only had one previous violation which was running a light (3 points.) So I just paid it off without out worry (2-3 Points.) After that I picked up another two tickets; One for 88 in a 60; the other 94/70. I sent both to a local lawer although the the latter was in a different city from the lawer. I never heard from the lawer again until just recently.
About a month ago I recieved a letter that said the one and only judge in Bennetsville (where I got the first ticket) was getting ready to hold court (first time in over 3 years) and they wanted to make sure that they still had all my correct information in case my ticket was one that he chose to process (or some sh^t like that.) Anyway I called them and asked a few questions, and things went quiet. Until just yesterday when I recieved a letter saying that my ticket was reduced to a 64/55 (2 points,) but that I needed to settle up on my bill. So I called them to discuss what I owed them and in the middle of the conversation I find out that they don't have my other ticket. So I decided that before I get really pissed off I should check my records on the tickets just to see what's what.
While checking the records I find out that the lawer I had been talking to was NOT the lawyer I sent my tickets too. Appearently I talked to that lawyer at somepoint, but besides giving them my name, they had no information about me. So I get to thinking and I eventually come to somewhat of a conclusion that, "This is great to have one of my tickets taken care of, but where the hell is the lawyer that I hired and what the hell is going on with the other ticket...?"
So I have been trying to call the lawyer, but right now he is on his lunch break, which is why I thought I might take a few minutes sing you my blues. Hopefully the conclusion of the story is not far away.

Oh yeah. The points that I have been showing you... If you count those up you will see that I have either 7 or 8 points not including the outstanding ticket. I say 7 OR 8 because I dont know what the charge was on the first ticket so I can't know the points either. Anyway, the way I see it, that ticket could put me to the line as far as my points go. Which means I'm seriously SOL if I get another ticket. Let's hope that when the lawyer calls me, he tells me that he got the ticket dropped...
Cross your fingers for me.

After you are done paying for your tickets and lawyer, buy a V1.

Good luck with the tickets Henry.....get a V1, i'm glad I did

[///M3DarkSide]

Believe me I intend to.

How's the car running?I'm getting coilovers in a few weeks (i'm very excited) Putting my UUC pullies on tonight!

[///M3DarkSide]

Uh. I'm good and so is the car. Some how I was under the impression that you were going to buy my springs...
Then you weren't because you were getting a supra? And now, No supra and you stiffed me on the springs too...?

Ok little up date. The lawyer took care of the second ticket and there aren't any points or anything and I already paid that guy too. So it turns out the 7-8 points is where it will stay unless i get another tickets. So all I have to do now is pony up the dough to the other lawyer. Too bad though. Like you guys are saying I V1 cost 400 and guess how much I have to pay. $450
Bummer.

i suggest you
a) dont drive so damn fast on that section of road.
b) buy a v1

goodluck, i just had my first court date on wednesday.

YOu can get a returned V1 for 359 and the remote unit for like 33 or something like that. Total shipped for me was $401.00

[///M3DarkSide]

Why would I want a returned V1?

[slcook54]

If you can manage without the arrows, the passport 8500 is like 150$ cheaper and works just great.

[AMCbimmer]

Because they are $40 dollars cheaper. They are the ones people used for 30 days and returned. They come with the same warranty.

That sucks henry, SC cops can be dicks. Lawyers definately own though

[///M3DarkSide]

For real. I was stupid not to get a lawyer for my first two tickets. I think the NWA put it best, "F#ck da police, f#ck da police, f#ck da police, yeah f^ck 'em."

[PatTink]

It is hard to fu*k the police when you were dumb enough to speed in the same general area 3 times in a short period of time just my $.02
