got a ticket need advice

[DarkSide666]

hey guys i just got a ticket for spinning my wheels its a 55 buck ticket with one point and im also on a PBJ from the last speeding ticket i took to court. do you think i should take this one to court or just pay the 55 and take the point.

No traffic school? $55 is nothing. You could try to contest it, but then due to your prior, the judge could turn it to reckless driving (if he's on a bad day). $55 isn't enough to get a lawyer involved, so that's outta the question. If you do go to court, try talking to the officer who issued you the ticket, and see what he can do.

NEVER plead guilty to a traffic violation..ALWAYS show up..sometimes the cop isnt there..which means you get off..most times they are..but if they are they are willing to make a deal with you 90% of the time..he could not turn it into reckless driving becaues he cannot just increase the charge after he already wrote it down..only decrease it if he feels like it..not to mention he would have to prove it and the circumstances are nowhere NEAR reckless driving from what you have explained..thats my advice/experience [img]smile.gif[/img]

You could go to court, and plea no contest, and if the judge is on a good day, he'll just make you pay the fine and you won't get the points on there. But one point is nothing... I have four on my lisense ;) So... if you've got the time, you can take it to court, but plea no contest and you should be alright.... otherwise, pay the fine and take teh point, or take traffic school if you can.

Go to court, wrong forum btw.

Pay the $55 and be done.

Just pay it and forget it. It's not worth the time fighting.

Pay up sucka!

Was it spinning your wheels or big smoky burnout?

If it was a burnout pay up and be done. If it was just pulling off from a stop and spun them over a couple times fight it.

[vanbibber]

not to sound like a jerk but if youre spinning your wheels with a cop around, you deserve it. just pay up and be done with it.

[Big Tymer]

how can you check and see how many points are against you? do non moving violations count against you?

[vanbibber]

i dont think so..but youre in texas so who knows.

[Question]

Your a little vague on spinnin your wheels, was it wet out at all? Was it a big burnout, or just a once over? Where you backing out? Explain the situation more please.
