GO AWAY CHAD/RON/DAWN/COLONEL/LEWIS

 

You got my curiosity up, the best I can tell there are no points.

In NC cops have a pre-set court date for all of the tickets they write on
that shift.

 

Thanks for the info on the court dates Happy. I just found out that for PA 1 point is removed every six months. That still doesn't tell me if there would be any points involved.

Brian, I have no idea where warren co is. I live over in PA.

I'll talk to my husband about a lawyer.

One other question. Will this affect our personal insurance? The last thing I need is our insurance going up. :?

Edited to add: Happy, thanks for the website. The code my husband told me is the exact same code as on the website near the end. He wasen't sure if it was 7 or 157. That is definitly what the officer nailed him on.

 

I'm calling it a night. I'll keep everyone posted on how things go. If anyone has any further information, or knows of a good inexpensive lawyer, let me know. Just send me a message.

To let you know, my husband said the cop had to sit and wait for traffic to pass before he could get out of the car. While he was talking to my husband hardly anyone pulled over to the other lane.

One more tid bit of info my husband gave me. He did mention that the cop told him that he almost hit him. Probablly so he could charge him with that. I do know in our regular vechilce, my husband is very good in staying in the center, and will get closer more towards the center if he gets off center. I'm the oppsite.

My mom suggested that it might be a cop that is trying to get his memorial day weekend quota in early. All of you stay safe out there, and be extra careful.

Edited to add: Everyone thank you very much for not giving me a rough time about this. I know there are some that can be unmericful about things like this. If you did, you would have probablly sent me directly into the mental ward at the hospital. I'm waiting for the bad cycle to stop and the good cycle to start. When a bunch of bad things happen all at once, something very good is going to follow.

 

"Will this affect our personal insurance?" Probably, insurance companies have access to driving records, how the moving violation was gotten makes no difference.
I assume your spouse has told his employer he got the ticket, not telling 'em is not good.
I still don't understand the need to talk on a cell while driving. I recently made a wall to wall run and about every weaving driver running below the speed limit I came up, in the daytime, had a cell screwed into his ear. A commercial driver needs to fully concentrate on driving and not be distracted.
BTW, after all these years, I still can't convince myself I "need" a cellphone. Call me a technological Neanderthal. BOL

 

It is not unusual to get a court date "on the spot". Many cities and counties hold traffic court on Tuesday ( or what ever ) and allow for at least two weeks to pass so the paperwork is processed in time for court. The city ( towns ) inside the county that I worked in held their traffic court on the first Tuesday of the month along with their regular council meeting.

 

In Virginia and North Carolina, they give you the court date when they give you the ticket, and it's all part of the summons you sign.

Not signing the summons doesn't get you out of anything in North Carolina.

 

Update on the ticket. Our lawyer from tixnix moved the court date to get a better DA. He is now awaiting a new court date.

We have had to obtain a certified driving record and get it to the lawyer. He said it would help if the judge saw he had a clean driving record.

Will let everyone knows how it ends up. Hoping for the best.

I didn't realize how long this was going to take.

 

Well...thanks for the update...now ONE questions.

Are YOU certain that "Lawyer" from "TIXNIX" actually got an extension? Has he faxed or e-mailed you proof of the extension, or have you talked with the Clerk of Court, in the jurisdiction, to confirm what the "Lawyer' is telling you??

I think it is GFI and GFIW, here on this forum, whom went through 2 shades of heck, because of one of those "Fix-it" lawyers. You would need to read GFIW's thread to understand all they have endured.

 

No I don't have proof. I can call, and ask for proof through e-mail. All I know is that the original court date was July 18, and yes I should have called the lawyer on that date.

On the 19th, my youngest daughter had to go in to see the doc. Found out she had strep throat. The doc said she was at the stage where she was actually getting better, and to have her eat bland foods and drink pleanty of fluids. If the others get sick, to bring them in. Calling the lawyer was pushed way back on the back burner.

I guess I just have to trust him right now. :shock: I guess it is better than nothing at all. I know now that he would have never made it to the court trial. All I think I can do right now is wait to hear back from them when the new trial date is, or if they get it settled before setting a new date.

With hubby's home time, mailing the form to get the certified drivers record, having it mailed back, and mailing it to the lawyer, it got to him two days before the trial. I don't think he even had time to think about settiling out of court if possible. He did mention that to me. He was just waiting for the drivers record. Actually they called a couple of times to see how we were progressing on it.

I'll keep ya posted. I'll also try to find GFIW's thread.
