Appealing JOL Speeding Ticket

(Click here to view the original thread on the MassCops Message Board)


Posted by: Unregistered

So I recently got pulled over for going 60 in a 40 (Estimated and radar) I'm not contesting that I was going above the limit but I am own a horse and am such forced to travel 45 minutes each day in order to take care of him. The 90 day susspension of licance with the ticket will make this almost impossible.

Is there a way to get an alternate sentance or am I screwed?

I'm 17 by the way and have one ticket (running a red light) from 6 months ago.

Yup, your screwed but go ahead and appeal the ticket as far as you can...youve got nothing to lose.Oh yeah, SLOW DOWN.

60 in a 40 is deserving of a ticket. Having not had your license for very long, you should be EXTRA careful when driving. Thats the whole point of the JOL restrictions. Your sentence will not be lenient I am guessing.

I agree with J.A.P. in the fact that you are most likely going to use your license either way. I say appeal it anyway.
As for your driving like a dumbass slow the F*ck down. I just got through dispatching a call where a kid not much older than you rolled his car around 6 times down the roadway into the woods with no seatbelt. Try to use that lump of raw hamburg inside your skull, I don't want to have someone else have to listen to some poor bastard who just happens to come across your wreck to find you severely injured or worse. You use the excuse of needing to travel 45 minutes to get to your horse that you need to feed daily. Here is a hint LEAVE EARLIER or get rid of it.
Always remember it's not if you get in an accident but when you get in an accident.

Definately take it all the way to a Judge's appeal.

Bring that horse to your house........ You're going to need it to get around. Slow down, or we will make sure you stay off the road..........

first and foremost go back to school and take some spelling classes. then go see an MD and have the lead removed from your foot. if you did the speed limit you would not have been stopped. And as a jol operator u shouldve known the law and the penalties for driving like an idiot....

Your merciless slaughter of spelling and grammar made my eyes bleed.

Off to the glue factory, and it's all your fault.

So, like, dude, what'd the 'rents have to say?

If you were my kid, you'd have been peddling after blowing the red light !

Take mom and dad to the MD too,,, they apparently need a cranial rectalectomy for letting you keep driving.

First off slow down! always contest!
where did you get this ticket? what town?
did the speed limit change when you were stoped (it was a 50 went down to 40 or w/e)??
when do you turn 18?
besides running the light do you have any stupid shit on your record??
were you an ass to the officer? lol
and ask yourself are you an asset to the community? or are you a punk?
do you have a job?

Sure sounds like an excuse to me. Obviously you think you're God when you're on the road and the laws don't apply. Nobody cares what your commitments are. Do you think they're screwing around when they just upped the penalties?

Advice:90 days without a car sounds exactly like what you need...but the laws don't apply to you so when they suspend your license, keep driving. Someone ought to figure it out sooner or later that you're God...
