Got a fat ticket...need help
You must have thick skin starting a thread like this. I get my fair share of moving violations too but all in a timely manner. Once my wings are clipped it takes them 18 months to grow back.
There is no way out of it. I work for the Orange County Sheriffs Department at the communications center and all we do is run checks on your license and warrant status. Be lucky you didn't get your car impounded! If the cop that pulled you over wanted to check your L1 (driving record) and saw your points and other infractions...you would most definately be walking home if not having someone bail you out. You got caught doing a dumb thing and now you will have to pay. Sorry dude...that is how it goes. 
LOL....^ the truth is you can get out of it...its simple... get a lawyer.
i got arrest about a year ago for going 91 in a 45...got wreckless and speeding ticket.
didnt get any points and got speeding dropped...but do have wreckless on my record which will go away after a few years...
my best friend is a cop and im in college to be one....
just get a lawyer...he can get you a deal...all in all i had to pay around 300 bucks for fines and thats it...plus about $100 for lawyer for the 30 min at court....
and no cop can sign off on your ticket to make it go away other than the officer who wrote it or his sarg. and in order to do that the cop would have to do it the same day its written...so no luck there at all.
good luck

A decent attorney cost 800-1000$... your ticket is probably going to be another 500-800$
pay to play
I'm not going to flame you since I get quite a bit of tickets.. but nothing that bad.. I always get busted for 80 on a 70... 55 on a 45

traffic ticket attornys do not cost 800-1000....$100-$300 tops...its just a traffice violation....
and your fines wont be $500-$800, should be anywhere from $300-$400 tops depending on your past driving history in the last 12 months.
will go up if you have some in that time...
my friend got a DUI for god sakes and his fines were around $1800 so no way simple traffic tickets will be anywhere near 800-1000 bucks.
and my friend attorney for his dui was $500 flat...
dont need the best lawyer just any lawyer, its basics for them and only takes 30 min of their time.
i have had 2 lawyers and none cost me over $200 bucks...

Don't give the OP false hope... he probably smiled so hard seeing your 200$ attorney fee.. then you killed him 
First off I want to start by saying that it was a simple mistake that I'm sure most of you have done. If you have any negative comments please don't post. Last week I was exiting the offramp to go home, it was around 1am and the light was green for me to turn right so I looked around and didn't see any cars so I decided to downshift and gas it through the turn to get a little sideways
damn that friggen sucks ... same thing happened to me that happened to OP ... luckily my relative, an FBI agent , was in the car with me ... would have gotten me for reckless driving/exhibition of speed/destuction of city property (hit a sign *sadface* ) got off scott free.
good luck with ticket OP ...
also i heard * and i know someone is going to be a jackass about this* from my friend with a TL that they have a guy on acurazine that will go into the court for you and can usually get all charges dropped for about 100 bucks or some brews .... something like that. go there and ask around.

here we go again...i dont know how much your supposed "relative" would appreciate you posting on a public forum that you are "supposedly" related to an FBI agent. seeing as how that info is usually pretty hush hush around those camps.
so hows that TL holdin' up?!
