    Hello

    I haven't been on here for a while (again), how are you all doing?... I've been busy with school....that much closer to getting not only a job, but a good job....so after 3 years of talking about it I will finally be able to to actively take part in the sport.

    Hey Twardo

  4. I stood in front of the judge in for a friend's speeding ticket once, & once because my mom parked in a handicap spot (dhe has a placard), but a portion of her car was in the striped section, so she got the ticket anyway. So , no, I don't have much experience with judges, but all 3 times I stood in front of one they were nice people.

  5. Well. like I said, I haven't stood in front of a judge in 10 years. The 1 & only ticket I got was marked "must appear" (it was for going 69 in a 35). I paid the $115 fine, & the judge said that as long as I didn't get another ticket in 4 months that nothing would go on my record. This ticket is for going 51 in a 35 (it was a 2 lane [open] road in each direction. I just hope they don't nail me with $750. That really seems much too harsh.

  6. What does that mean??? And is it only if I request a jury trial??? It means States Atty's, cops, jurys and judges all cost money. If you waste a judges time, it pisses him off, and he can and may charge you up to $750 bucks if he finds you guilty. .......great......... Now a really regret taking option C. If I say I'm guilty in court though...that takes all of 2 minutes, I hope he doesn't get pssed off over 2 minutes. I can try to tell the judge that the reason I chose option C is that it gives me more time to come up with the money If I am found guilty (this is true by the way). I'm not a criminal, & this is only a speeding ticket. if I'm ordered to pay $750 than that's just wrong.

  8. Niles, IL has a population of: 28,848 (2007) Skokie, IL 63,348. I think the ticket was issued in Skokie, because the the courthouse is in Skokie. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  9. Both my sister & friend did traffic school online in Illinois. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  10. Looking up the population Niles & Skokie, Illinois right now... (I forgot where i got the ticket exactly. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  11. I'll listen to Twardo's advice than, & NOT move to Texas... Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  12. Good luck. Around here the cops are paid overtime to go to court AND get in serious trouble if they no-show. Like the main elements of the crime that are noted on the citation? Like, time, place, vehicle, etc? Good luck again. You've been reading a lot from the "internet experts" of traffic court. I've been to traffic court probably 40 times or so and even the juries hate it when people try to get off a speeding ticket because the officer wrote blue instead of blue/green on for the car color or similar. So good luck. JURIES???? Wow man, that's serious for something as minor as a speeding ticket! (Than again, this IS Texas that we're talking about...) Here that's unheard of; you simply stand in front of; you simply stand in front of the judge & he/she decides your fate. The cops don't show up more often than not too. If I'm found guilty, than I'm found guilty - I'll pay to go to traffic school, but then & only then. You can't blame me for trying to work the system to try to get off since it's setup the way it is.

  13. Nope.... There is an online option. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  14. In the end, I opted to go to court - only because I'm almost certain that traffic school is still an option. The court date is set on 12/30/09; from 10/26/09 to 12/30/09 is a lot of time - the cop might not even show up, or forget some details. I'm trying my damnedest not to have to pay the city my hard earned money (which I don't have much of!)

  15. How do I find out if it was issued using Lidar? Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  16. I'll Pay if I have to, but I'd much rather go to court & take my chances. What I'm trying to find out is - if I'm found guilty in court, could the judge still give me traffic school as an option? Either way ($75, or $115 + traffic school) the city is getting it's money. I want to try going to court because i might not have to pay, & if I'm found guilty than I'll gladly pay for traffic school then. Question is, would that still be an option at that point?...

  17. First & foremost, I haven't posted on here in a very long time, so I should say hello.........hi
  18. Good! I don't care if you're 105 and are transporting Hopey-McChangey's unicorn to the rainbow factory, there is no excuse for not stopping and taking care of your business.

  22. So, I'm driving in the ritzy suburbs, headed home from my sister's house - mind you it's 11:30 at night. The street I was driving had a 30 mph speed limit...I was driving 45-50. Suddenly....I see the front-end of a cop's car sticking out of a side street; my 1st thought is "oh shit!" of course. I firmly put on the brakes & roll passed him (or her) - I know I was speeding, they know I was speeding, & as expected, the cop pulls out behind me. By this point I'm thinking: "well, I might as well open up the glove box & get the insurance & registration out" - I was positive I was going to get pulled over. To my surprise however, cop doesn't flip on the read & blue, instead he/she follows me. Now however, I've had a complete change of heart & am going a perfect 30mph. So cop proceeds to roll up on my right side, I presume to see if I had my seat belt on, & I did - so no hook for them there either... Now, here's where it gets interesting... Cop speeds passed me at about 70mph & hangs a right into another side street, & as I pass that side street I see that they are doing a u-turn (obviously not seeing that I see them doing the u-turn). They get back out on the road &begin following me once again... (They probably thought that I didn't see them doing the u-turn & would have been speeding again). I'm followed for a while yet again, but after some time cop again passes me at what looked like 70mph, goes to the next light about 500-1000 ft away, does another u-turn, passes me & rides off into the night. I think what was happening here is they needed me on radar to be able to issue a ticket, but gave up after a while once they realized that wasn't happening. My 8 year ticketless streak continues... Edited for grammar. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  23. And thank you guys very all your time & input that you're putting into this, it's very appreciated!
  24. The distances are the same. Throughput might be better though. Turn off all the authentication stuff. You'll turn it on back later when you rule out the possibility of broken WPA2 in your router or card software. I'll give that a try in the morning.
