anyway 85, i take it you got an ungoverned pete,Originally Posted by BIG JEEP on 44's
On my way to work last night I was on us-6 west in lakewood,co this was at 2230 mdt so the 6 lane section of highway is 3 ln E and 3 lane W was fairly empty with a speed limit of 65 mph I was doing 70-72mph or 5-7 mph over...I was passed by a red f-150 doing 85+ ,and about 1/2 a mile later I get a set of disco lights behind me ,and was pulled over ,well the officer asked if I knew why I was pulled over ...I said , No sir...His reply speeding ,and do you know how fast , And I replied no ...The officer stated 85 in a 65 ...Well that's a 20mph over and 6pt violation...This pisses me off b/c I have not done more than 5-7 mph over in almost 5 yrs . I know I could from experience in traffic court in my early days get an easy reduction to 2pt and 10mph over ,but I'm told that with a good drving record and a lawyer that it's possble dismissal or a drop to a non moving ...I'm also told that in Coloado part of the usual deal obtainable is driving school ,but you'll only get if represented by a lawyer ,So I'm spending $1000.00 for my traffic lawyer ,And now have wait to see how this shakes b4 I head off to CON-WAY'S orientation...I don't want to spend the $1000.00 ,but I know how the courts work here in this area of Colorado ,so best to play the game the way they like ,which is hiring familliar people of the DA to represent you...What a sham .
