171mph

Anyone ever successfully overturn a negligent driver suspension at a DMV hearing (in my case 4 speeding tickets within 12 months)?

If so what worked? Cali DMV wants me off the roads for 6 months (none of the 4 tix was egregious, maybe 10-15 over).

thanks

My wife would've thrown me out of the house after the 3rd speeding ticket...

I've met a few practitioners that were little better than a pointy stick, but generally agree, you're setting yourself up for failure if you try and pummel them with your bare fists.

Dude...you need to get some sort of rehab for speeding anonymous or something. Maybe the judge will give you a break if she/he sees that you are trying to break the habit.

Good luck!

As a lawyer, it will be well worth your dime (especially if you can afford 4 speeding tickets in a year) to hire a traffic attorney. The simple fact of being represented will give you a good chance of pleading down the charges to probation of some sort. As long as all the tickets were under 20 mph over to avoid any reckless driving charges you should be able to get off with 1 year probation stipulating that you will not get any more tickets for 1 year; however, if you do get another ticket you might as well give the officer you license on the spot to get the suspension over with sooner!

Good Luck,

P.S. The above is not legal advice nor should it be construed in any such manner...blah...blah...

Is that why you use "171mph" as your call name? Doh! J/K

Ask for a DMV hearing and ask to have a conditional license that will allow you to use the car to drive to work and back.

I hate to say it but with 4 speeding tickets in 12 months don't you think you need a little recourse????

6 months suspension seems a bit harsh though.

I'd get the suspension on that license lowered...

Bummer, either you are very unlucky or you don't pay attention to your surroundings.In any case open your wallet real wide and hire the best traffic attorney you can afford.
If you got pinched by radar more than once, then you really need a Valentine One. I put over 30k in my daily driver and my two other cars and I have yet to get a speeding ticket.
Luck plays into it, but using that rear view mirror and a V-1 lessens your chances of getting caught.
If this situation doen't lighten your foot then the Valentine One is the best insurance out there to
keep the flashing red lights out of your rear view mirror.

Get the traffic attorney. There should be plenty on the web. My brother-in-law used one and got out of most of his fines.
