I got my first speeding ticket in Charlotte...

On the way to The Masters. They were camping out on 77 and I just got pinched. poo happens, I get that.

 

But what do I need to do next? My dad has said I should just go to the courthouse uptown, take a shot and ask if they'll tear it up because I have a perfect record – never gotten a ticket before and only been pulled over three times – despite having driven for almost 11 years now. 

 

What would you guys do? It's for 14 over, 69 in a 55. I don't think they'd tear one up for 14 over, but is it worth going over there to ask or should I just pay the fuger?

I can tell you what not to do. I've always paid a lawyer. Roughly 300 bucks and it's always been dropped. Well last ticket two years ago I went down town spoke with an ada. Waited in line for an hour. He reduced it from 81 in a 65 to 71 in a 65. I had always heard if it's under 9 it won't hurt your insurance. So I paid my 150 dollar fine and went on my way proud of myself for saving 150 bucks. "Screw a lawyer, that was easy". Fast forward a few months and time for insurance renewal and boom im hit with a three year rate increase because of it!!!!!

Tldr. Pay the money for a lawyer. It's worth it

    • No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.
    • I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.
    • I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
