just got a fuckin ticket and my court date is 4/10. my state has this retarded law that if your under 18 and have a ticket or an accident that is you fault then the judge can take away your liscense. now here is my question. how do i not get my liscense suspended? like ive heard if you tell them you need it to get to work or school they're more lenient. by the way im in ohio.

relax, I got a 97 in a 65, just a fine. I've heard of people getting pulled over at 110 without a suspended liscence.

Honestly, the easiest way would be to make a time machine, http://teacherlink.ed.usu.edu/TLRESOURCES/units/MonsonUnits/MerNie/directions.html , and go back and not speed.

im looking at my ticket now and theres some stuff in my favor. the cop marked dry roads, good visibility, no adverse road condidtions, and light traffic. so its not like i was being dangerous. i think im also gonna play the "im a good kid" card. tell them its my 1st ticket, never had an accident, have a 3.8 in school etc.

go talk to the cop. Cops that I know (friends) love it when you take the initiative and have the gumption to talk to a cop. Go in, be polite, explain why you don't deserve to get your license taken away, etc etc etc. Also, if your parents know, you'll probably get grounded and you could tell the cop that. Then, you could say that your parents are only allowing you to use your car for school, volunteering, work, etc. You'll probably still have to pay the fine, but he/she may be willing to take the points off. Worked for me.

haha the judge probably wont want to hear how great of a person you are, no one cares what your grades are if they are punishing you for speeding

doesn't matter. I didn't know the cop, called up the department, made an appointment and explained what I just said in my other post. The cop DOES have the ability to lessen a sentence and change the details. They have a specific form for lowering speeding ticket points/fines.

i live in ohio. when i was 16 i got a ticket for 54 in a 35. i had to go to court, but since it was my first offense, i just had to pay a fine. don't sweat it, you'll be fine. that is, unless you were chugging a bottle of vodka while getting head from a 9 year old. then you'd be fucked.

Call the department and ask who has the ID # or license plate # on your ticket, if there's nothing on your ticket that has any ID for him, bummer man.

69 in a 35, went and talked nice to the chief and got a suspended sentence (first ticket) provided I took a defensive driving course.  1 year later it was off my record for good, yay me.  Try doing that.

you'll just get fined.

I live in ohio. my brother got a ticket when he was under 18, and he only got fined. He's almost 21 now though.. i dont think that the law changed though so you should be fine.

In Maine I'm almost positive that if you get ANY moving violation, you lose your license if you have not had it for two years.

you only have to go to court if you want to fight it. if not, you just go in to the courthouse and pay the fine. end of story. am i wrong?
