I have gotten a racing ticket before, but I live in NC.
Breaking traction, speeding, and the absence of a radar gun are all irrelevant when it comes to speed competition. Did either of you admit to racing or knowing each other?
While speed is not a neccassary factor for a racing ticket, it can be a deciding factor. How fast were you all going when caught.
To what degree is the ticket. Is it Willfull or prearranged? I know Willfull competion of speed is 12 points on your license here in NC, No scratch that, its 10 points. Prearranged is 12 points. And you can loose your license for 3 years for either.
That doesnt make much sense, loose you licenense for one year for killing some one with a car, but loose it for 3 years for racing. Thats the way it is here in NC.
A lawyer cost me 480$. And the jerk didnt "Make it disappear" like he said he would. I got a stupid prair of Judgement and a reckless driving charge.
Still waiting for the Prair of Judgement to run out. They last three years, and I have one year to go. Thats something else. I got the ticket 4 yrs ago, it took a the lawyer forever to finally resolve. That p!ssed me off, so I went to talk to the bum, and he wouldnt see me, (He was always "Out") wouldnt talk to me, and wouldnt call me back. He was supposed to have my driving record esponged, but he didnt do that. You know how hard it is to get a Switching License (Yard Tractor Licenese) with a Reckless driving charge. If I ever see that Lawyer, I'll beat his A$$.
They thown a few of the guys I hang out with in the Slammer after they got caught. But that was because the cop thought the guy was running from him when it just took him so long to slow down. Dont ask me how, but he got out of it somehow.
Thats all I can really tell ya.
