Replying to Am I fucked?
So I was trying to get back to my house yesterday on a freeway where the flow of traffic is always around 85 but the speed limit is 65. I was real tired and wanted to get home because the air conditioning in my car sucks and I was roasting. The freeway was completely empty and its one that I've driven on hundreds of times before and neer seen a cop on, so I started playing some Dick Dale and hit around 140. All of a sudden FUUUUUCCKKK! I see a cruiser hiding in the bushes and press down hard on the brakes. He clocked me going around 97, which is lucky in a way but not really (If I had kept up my speed I probably could have gotten away). What are my options here? Do I even have any? Anyone who has gotten a ticket here in California know what kind of price I'm going to have to pay? He only got me for the speeding violation but will the court try and charge me with reckless driving too or is that something the officer has to do? I'm 17 so am I eligible for traffic school. Is there any way really out of a 32 mile over the speed limit ticket? God damn I feel like a fucking dumbass. Any help from the wise NS community is much appreciated. I wish I had a fucking autobahn.
