Ive had the z for about 17 to 18 months, but only recently, within the last 3 months, I have gotten 2 speeding tickets. The first one I got was towards the end of sept, and I just got one today. I paid the first ones amount, but didnt start traffic school yet. The courts will never pick up and are always busy, so I can't schedule or find out more info on traffic school. I wanted to ask, will I automatically get a point on my record since I got two tickets within 3 months? Im pretty stressed out and don't know what to do. Also, the officer put down my court date appearance as 2/11/09 instead of 10. Don't know if that justifies the ticket as invalid haha. Anyways, I want to know if I will get a point on my record and if there is any way I can fight a speeding ticket. Thanks. Btw, im pretty much just venting here cuz I feel sad.

 

how fast were you going??

damn... slow down turbo... tickets get expensive if you keep piling them up.

 

I had the same situation about a year ago (date on ticket) the Chp will usually send out a correction letter and the date will be changed to 2/11/10. I think you can do the traffic school online but I have no idea how many points they take off your record.
It comes with the territory bro, keep you head up and slow down a bit.

 

I don't usually drive fast. Both times I have been caught because I am trying to get ahead of someone who is going slow. Today, i was driving on the right lane, and another guy on my left. Our two lanes merge, but we were both going side by side, so I sped up to prevent hitting the guy, since he wasn't slowing down, neither was I. While I was speeding up and getting ahead of him, the cop saw me.

 

The first time I was going 85 on 65, today I was apparently going 58 on a 40. But I am pretty sure I saw my speedometer right when I saw the cop and I was going 49.

 

O btw, he asked for my license and he wrote down the address on the license, and I have since then moved to santa ana. Am I able to change the mailing address by calling the court that is on the ticket? If not, who can I contact to get the mailing address changed to my current address?

 

That usually happens in our cars when we do that, especially if the car not letting you in is a POS. That's how I got my ticket last year on the 57 fwy northbound.

Edit

Just call the number on the ticket and tell them where to mail it.

 

I'm nearly 50 and notice the attention from law enforcement that the Z gathers.

My daily driver is an Xterra SUV which has a whopping 30 less ponies under the hood and there are times when I use all of them in traffic to avoid someone driving under the limit pinching me off as the road changes. I hate people that drive 30-35 in a 45 mph stretch of road - normally talking on the cell phone (still).

I drive the Z to work about once or twice a month and don't drive stupid fast nor street race by any means. I do notice that the police will stop and watch or even follow me in my blind spot to see if I'm doing something stupid. I had a motorcycle officer follow me for about three miles before giving up.

Valentine One has my back (and front) but that only protects from speeding tickets - not reckless driving, California stops, and other such taxes.

 

hey paul, where did you mount the valentine one unit? how do you like it? i know sometimes cops gives ppl crap about having radar/lazer detectors. plus, chp usually paces you on the freeways... local cops use the radar more.

 

makes u feel any better i got one a few weeks ago for 121 been 3 years since my last one

 

cops suck in general

 

We as Z drivers have the "ability to pay" for tickets...when was the last time you've seen a POS on the side of the road getting the "business" from the Cops? I always see newer cars and sports cars being ticketed here in Ca.

 

^ not true.. i see pos getting tickets all the time on the 605 freeway.

maybe we just notice the nice cars more often.

 

121mph!!! Did you go to jail?

 

^^ LOL 121? Isnt that a felony?

 

It just sucks that I got another ticket within 2.5 months. I still didnt even finish traffic school for my first ticket, and now im gonna get a point on my record.

 

I'm sure this sucks *** for you meng! good luck on everything to you.

 

One point is nothing, will increase your insurance payment next year and ruins your day or week but one point is just the beginning. You got your wings clipped, just slow down for the next 18 months and they'll grow back.

 

I can get u a good attorney for 500$... he will 95% get u a no point fine or at least 100% get u to traffic school...

but u didnt go to traffic school first time so suck it up, try to fight it at court and lose if cop shows up, then go to traffic school n get rid of the point

 

I've gotten 3 tickets in one day before talk about shitty day eh.. hahahha
