I got my first speeding ticket in Charlotte...

[Carl Spackler]

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?

[Doyle]

They may not tear it up but they may reduce it so that it won't show up on your insurance so it's worth going.

[Sapper]

Pay it. Saves you the time, and a it's just a ticket.

Smith and Horton Law

They are a huddle sponsor and handle these things all the time

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

[PandaPancake]

Hire a lawyer. You probably won't even have to go to court. Nothing worse than going into a room full of lawyers without one of your own

[Carl Spackler]

Fair enough, thanks for the help fellas. If it wasn't so early in the morning and I wasn't half asleep I probably would've had Waze on and I would've seen the cop anyway. But sometimes it's just gonna happen.

[Hawk]

grow a pair of balls and man up to what you did wrong and just pay the ticket!!!!

[frash.exe]

Just go and tell them your taxes pay their salary

It works most of the time

[Jangler]

So y'all would rather give a rich lawyer $300 than help Charlotte fix some potholes.

[Lemory]

Should have flashed him some tits.

[Hawk]

you wonder what's wrong with society these days!!!!
