I also specifically told her to take no deals and later found out without my knowledge that she was not only trying to take offers, she was trying to MAKE them!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09077598089291362433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203221.post-77238668171388407672007-11-21T19:00:00.000-08:002007-11-21T19:00:00.000-08:00It's very hard to give definite advice about what ...It's very hard to give definite advice about what to do about a traffic ticket. There are so many factors to consider including the circumstances, the law, how the local courts work and, most importantly, the outcome that the driver is seeking. <BR/><BR/>The fact of the matter is that it is almost certain that you will have to pay all or most of the fine that is shown on your ticket. However, you do not have to go down without a fight and let this ticket go on your driving record too. <BR/><BR/>One of the best ways to explore your options is to speak with a local attorney. They will understand what is feasible and, hopefully, will provide accurate advice...even if that advice is to not retain their services.<BR/><BR/>Drew Massie<BR/>Co-Founder & COO<BR/>www.TixNix.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203221.post-69990052216385891782007-08-10T22:12:00.000-07:002007-08-10T22:12:00.000-07:00I understand your frustration with this.

Every Court and Judge varies on their criteria. In WA Judges and Prosecutors will see your entire driving record well beyond 3 years so take every precaution to keep your record clean.<BR/>Jeannie Mucklestone, PS<BR/>615 Second Ave Suite 720<BR/>Seattle, WA 98104<BR/>www.mucklestone.com<BR/>(206) 623-3343 (24 hrs)Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005284381259221915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203221.post-74043788305739479542007-07-11T14:20:00.000-07:002007-07-11T14:20:00.000-07:00He couldn't have been pacing me, since he was stop...He couldn't have been pacing me, since he was stopped at the side of the road ahead of me. I wish I knew how he clocked me -- shouldda asked at the time.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I mailed it back saying I'm contesting it. Depending on what happens next, I'll probably hire an attorney -- Jon (see comment above) has been extremely responsive to my offline email queries.Richard Spraguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470273961021829567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203221.post-84619619764048137242007-07-11T13:59:00.000-07:002007-07-11T13:59:00.000-07:00I'm surprised, too,that he wrote you up if you wer...I'm surprised, too,that he wrote you up if you were only five going over. Was it laser or was he pacing you? Perhaps you were going 68 and and only wrote you up for five over???<BR/>I'd contest it anyway. You have a perfect record and that makes a difference to da judge. Also, given insurance rates these days it may be worth more than $81 bucks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203221.post-84481746544936039692007-07-08T10:18:00.000-07:002007-07-08T10:18:00.000-07:0065 in a 60 - it sounds like this officer really ha...65 in a 60 - it sounds like this officer really had an ax to grind. <BR/><BR/>I also recommend against paying the ticket and I would recommend that you highly consider a contested hearing. <BR/><BR/>My blog - www.speedingticketblog.com , has some information that you might find useful about traffic offenses and speeding tickets, in particular what to do when you get pulled over and what to do if you're cited for an infraction. <BR/><BR/>Let me know if I can be of help. <BR/><BR/>Jon Zimmerman<BR/>Attorney at Law<BR/>www.speedingticketblog.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11521533524161977831noreply@blogger.com
