So from the information gathered, I definitely wasn't speeding, and theres no way I could have avoided that car and the ditch at the same time, it was a split second decision to avoid a head on collision which probably would have killed me considering how fast the guy was going, or avoid him on the side. I think I made the right one. But the trooper gave me a reckless which im obviously going to fight now that I know I wasnt speeding and that it was out of my control since there was a car in my lane. Hopefully, with everyones help, I'll get this straighten out with the police and my insurance.

 

Just when I thought the cop was cool about it, he gives you a nice Get Well Soon present in the form of a life wrecking reckless ticket. So if you are out in the middle of nowhere and you wreck your own car without hurting anyone, you get in trouble for it? What a ****ing joke.

Thai said that the cop drove the corner a few times after we left and reported that he couldn't take it over 35 without feeling it give out. News flash Jake: you didn't have another DAMN CAR coming at you head on, ON A CORNER! Plus your Crown Vic has retard fat handling. Unfair assumption. See you in court.

 

that and his gut probably interfered with the rotation of the steering wheel....

 

Do a video documentation of a Z going around that corner above 35mph and then bring it to court!

 

^ Couldn't that serve as evidence against you as well?? since the Z could go over 35mph around the corner they could again point the finger at you for speeding/reckless...

 

speed limit i believe was 45, and I dont believe there are any cautionary suggest speed signs. Granted I was going the speed limit though

 

Glad you're ok. Sorry about the car

As for the ticket - find out the speed limit on the road and take the ticket to court. Just an FYI - since the cop saw fit to ticket you, you're insurance company may haggle with you over paying off the car... What a f'ked up thing to do on the troopers part BUT, I will also add that without the Honda's license place, color, exact year, etc., it's going to be hard to blame this on a "mystery" guy in court.

Not arguing with you, or anyone else who was actually there, but cops and judges can be suspect when the case provided is based on an unknown. While it's a good damn thing you were rolling with other guys last night - to the po po it looks like a group of guys out whipping their cars around...

Somebody mentioned a camera at a gas station or something? Try to see if there's anything you can do to get a copy of any video that may have captured the Honda coming up/down the road. And be quick about it - most small stores don't keep video much longer than 24-48 hours before re-using the tapes.

Good luck, and sorry again to hear about the ride. But also considering the state that the car was in after the wreck - you had an angel on your side. Glad to hear you walked away with a just few bumps and scrapes...

 

I had no idea where we were..If Corey could tell me the location we were in and what the gas station or store it was it would be that much easier to contact them

 

^not if they can't prove who filmed the tape, it would then be anonymous evidence.

 

if only I could have gotten a camera mount

 

Man, after reading that whole story my throat feels like its in my stomach…I feel real bad for u, especially after reading the posts you wrote earlier in the day be4 the cruise. Bad things always happen to the good people…glad your alright…good luck finding that video

 

****ing ****sucker, the SAME thing happened to me last november when I fishtailed and ended up in the sidewalk, 5-10 cops showed up and gave me a reckless driving ticket, I tried to ask the cop why ? I mean I was by myself, NOONE else on the road and I was going speed limit, he said based on the tread marks I can tell you were speeding, and I asked "so what you're telling me is if an 80 year old grandma gets into an accident and it was noone's blame, she gets slapped with a class 1 misdeamenor such as reckless driving?"
he said "correct"

Of course I fought the ticket in court and got it lowered to improver driving, and I know you will too

 

I can get my buddy to film it..so we are legit.. Plust its not FF County douch bag jurisDICKtion....then we can take it at 110 to show the fat lard how to drive...I hate freggin cops.

If we were screwing up..we would of said a deer was in the road and most of us would of left, but because we had nothing to hide..we stuck around and handled it right..that cop knew we either we really smart or not guilty.

 

PM for details.
Text sent....

 

losing control is driving too fast for conditions or reckless!

Trust me I have like 10 of them suckers! but most were on two wheels or one!

 

glad to hear everyone is ok.. hope everything works out for the guy that lost his z.

 

I loved how he kept checking our windows haha

 

Oh but if you could of saw hif face like I did in my rear view when all 3 of us started up our FTW AAM exhausts !!!!
He was too busy writing up a RD ticket for the 08, I guess he couldnt do two things at once, so speaking on the loud speaker or turning on the lights was too much of a challenge...lol. The nice paved road was FTW also on the way home. Too bad our nerves kept us well under the speed limit.

*****!

I am just thankful that my new Engine Management System is programed to keep my car under 60MPH!




LOL
