So I got a speeding ticket for going 47 in a 35. jersey village cops suck My court date is next month, and ive already taken defensive driving in the past year. I know you can only take it once a year, so am i pretty much screwed and have to pay the ticket? Figured i'd get a quicker answer here than calling up the courthouse which is probably closed right now.
Yep- go to court, ask the assistant DA for deferred adjudication. You'll have to pay the fine, but it won't go on your record, and you can't get a ticket for 3 months or so because you'll be on probation.
will it be the fine on the ticket....or another fine? man im hoping it's another fine. these fines out here in jersey village are ridiculous. it's like $238 thanks for the advice
Nice [not] Rollin, I believe it will be the fine, PLUS another charge. But look at it this way, man, it won't be on your record and it is considered a way to encourage you to drive slower and more carefully during those three months. You also don't have to deal with going to DD (not DaDakota) class . I would take deferred adjudication over having a violation on my record or taking defensive driving any day of the week.
nope, the jvillage cops are a different breed....ive been put in the back of a cop car for NO REASON in jersey village. It was around 1am and the cop had to eventually let me go cuz he had nothing on me.
I don't think you will garner any sympathy for this particular incident in which you were clearly (you didn't deny it) going 10+ MPH over the posted speed limit.
I live near there and got a ticket once. I went to their little court/building in JV and requested deferred judification. I dont drive through there anymore.
