Speeding Ticket

I got pulled over on 121 too and on main street in the colony. 121 highway patrol let me off with a warning. The other was a denton constable and i was doing 78 in a 50 but he gave me 65. So i did defensive driving and got it over after a 150 bucks. saved about 65. But that was in a sky blue 08 spectra. havent been spulled over in my racking red koup with the black rims and red calipers and hitting 100 at least once a day. But now I have 2 jobs and about to get the best radar allowed by law.

Yes I do need to invest in getting a radar detector.

My friend said he uses it all the time, and it beeps to him whenever someone updates something near him, or something like that.

I couldn't seem to get it configured to how I would want to use it near me however.

I don't understand why its legal to buy a radar detector and legal for them to be sold in stores, but illegal to use them in my area. It's just stupid. Anyone know what the fine is like if you get pulled over using one? Or is it one of those things cops don't really give tickets for

Depends...in some areas they can detect if you have them on, but in other areas they dont. Sooo....best thing to do when pulled over is rip it off the dash/window and hide it.

Well in that car and driver rating of the various radar detectors they checked to make sure that they were not seen by the 'radar detector' detectors..

However I am not sure what the fine or crime is, I know in my state you require a permit or license in order to operate one, so I assume here there would be a fine/ticket for operating it without a license?

Hey guys, just wanted to tell you all to be careful. A girl a went to middle school with was in a car accident yesterday and is in critical condition now. 4 people in the car. The girl driving is a senior in my towns HS, she was drunk, hit a guard rail, the girl I knew and the guy in the passengers seat weren't wearing their seat belts and were thrown from the car. The car flipped and crushed the guy killing him, the girl I knew broke her neck, nose, ribs, pretty much everything. So she's on the line between life and death. The driver and other girl got out with minor injuries.

Just hope you guys don't drink and drive. And wear your seat belt. Both of them would of been okay now if they had been.

I wouldn't get a lawyer. Just plead no contest and do defensive driving. That's what I did. Ticket was like 320 and it went down to 115

Then put your law questions in the law section where the lawyers hang out. DUH!!! Add on In case you don't know it's under politics and government.

They get you on 121. I have been pulled over several times going from Lewisville to Frisco. Mostly when I had my bike. They never gave me a ticket though. I think that was because it was in the construction area and I am not from there so they just gave me a warning.

Go to court, plead no contest, and ask for community service to pay off the ticket...

That is if you have the time to.
