I had a bad day (insert cop story here)
#31
One of my good friend's sister works for the clerk of courts in that small county, she's going to look into it this morning and call me tonight.
I've learned the hard way to not ignore any advice from that man. Not so much a visionary, as someone who was able to see and articulate the parts of reality we so often try to ignore. I usually try to be driving something more sedate than the turbo when traversing bat country, but sometimes it simply can't be helped.

It's nice that some jurisdictions have reasonable fines. Here in Ontario if you are 30 miles (50km) over its a $10,000 fine, car is impounded and license suspended. Pretty heavy for a short burst of fun on an open 5 lane highway. I once got caught 161 km in a 100 km/h zone (our maximum speed). He dropped it to 149 so I don't get the crazy whammy trifecta. Had a lawyer plead it down to a minor infraction. Got lucky that time. I think because I was driving my Jeep. Probably would have been a worse outcome in the Porsche.
Best of luck on fighting the tickets.

I lawyered up for a ticket I got in the Scion! And I just found out I lost the case. CHP appeared and was ready to fight. I knew he didnt like me. If I was in the Turbo he probably would have shot me.. That's popular here in L.A.

My contact inside the courthouse told me to ask for a plea trial because I'm moving out of state this week. I'm not going to to get a lawyer, for two reasons: 1) the longer this draws out, the less likely I will have an OH driver's license since I'm moving to TN. 2) The pleas usually get reduced to some minor offense (my contact says if you're nice, it's almost a certainty).
Worst case scenario, I pay my fee as is, accept my points, and go on about my business.

How cheap is that....$210 for 91 in a 55. Try that here in Californial..you pretty much get any speeding ticket and its bordering $500. I guarantee you 91 in 55 is $500+.....as low as those three tickets were, I would go out and do it again.....and still be less than California!
