Got pulled over.. ticket question.

[THE BOUNCER]

Was going 42 in a 25mph zone. The cop didn't give me a speeding ticket because of my good driving record. The problem though is that I had forgot my wallet that has my license and insurance card. I have to go to court and show them that I am in fact insured. My question is about the "failure to provide drivers license" ticket. On the back of the ticket it says the fine for that is $180! when i go to court will they reduce that? anyway to get it reduced? thanks

Isn't that going to be purely up to the judge's discretion? I'm sure he could throw the whole ticket out if he wanted.

well i dont know, thats why i am asking. just wondering if it is common for the judge to lower the fine or what?

[NewbieChris]

I would assume that if you can produce the documents those chargers will be dropped since you cooperated with the police officer. Thats sounds more like an additional fine to people refusing to cooperate when pulled over.

[THE BOUNCER]

cool, thanks chris. hopefully that will be the case.

[NewbieChris]

Did you ever get a chance to drive a 1?

[FrankTheTank55]

Maybe you should have Chris go talk to the judge for you....

If all you have on your ticket is show DL and insurance your fines will be droped after you show the 2 things.
I just sent in proof of insurance and if I didnt it would of been $1200 bucks. I dont know about jersey but here in cali we can do all that in the mail with zero court apperances. court sucks and its a waiste of time IMO.

Well down here in SC, every time I go to court, the judge cuts the fine in half if you are white.

I've always wanted to go to court for a speeding ticket and plead insanity.

what a fuckin dick, you should goto court and be like "SUCK MY DICK MOTHERFUCKERS!!"

i got pulled over and the officer gave me a warning for 4 different violations, and one of them was failure to show registeration and not cooperating with officer

these bitches write down the most bogus charges

[THE BOUNCER]

well i think the charge is correct isn't it? i mean, i did fail to provide my drivers license. maybe i am missing someting

same shit, show proof and you will be fine.

[wnabeabeast]

I got one of those a few years back and all I did was go to court and show them my DL and my insurance card and penalty was $10 bucks. I don't know how it is in jersey but it shouldn't be that much different.
So just go to court and show them your shit, it's not like you got a job to go to.

A dick? He could have written him up for speeding and made his insurance possibly go up and made him pay the fine for sure. B cooperated it sounds like and he got off easy since he'll provide proof and learn his lesson. I'm not sure about where you are but in most states you are legally obligated to have some form of ID.

Few months ago I got pulled over for rolling a stop sign and got two fix-it tickets instead. I was totally stoked. Yea its a pain in the ass but its better and cheaper than a ding on the driving record.

They will still bang you with court fees. The judge has discretion in most cases in new jersey.
