Speeding ticket in Maryland

[MANWHORE]

My wife and i got lost coming back from Virginia and i got stopped by a cop going 62 in a 45. I was lost and the road seemed like it should have been alot faster than 45mph. I'm so used to going 65 up here and there are alot of speed limit signs here but not there. I was so worried about being lost that i wasn't paying attention to my speed but there were cars around me so i don't know how she picked me out of all the others. There was even a car in front of me,but i didn't want to argue with her and make it worse for myself. I have'nt had a damn ticket since i was young. Someone told me that i will get points on my lisence but the cop told me it would be up to the municipalty. I didn't know what she meant but i didn't think about it until after she left because i was so upset about the ticket. I don't want to sound like a little girl but it pisses me off seeing how messed up people drive and i'm always a good driver but i get a ticket. It really sucks just thinking about my insurance going up and just the thought of having points. She didn't want to see my gold family member PBA card either. I didn't think she would. I'm going to get in touch with my godfather tomorrow and ask him what i can do to get out of the points or at least make them go away faster. I don't care about paying the money,though. Does anyone know if i will get points and what i can do to not get them or at least make it a little better for myself? I don't worry about much but this is really pissing me off knowing how many non driving bastards are out there and never get stopped. I know she was doing her job so i'm not pissed at her,besides she was pretty cute thanks for the help in advance if i get any

They always seem to watch out of town drivers...Your basically screwed I would say, but if it isn't too far from you I say fight the ticket.

Bro, there are some options you can do. I am a police officer and I just got a ticket down there in Maryland too for speeding. I'm sure the trooper saw my badge when I opened my wallet but obviously didn't care so I know where you are coming from.

I don't know where you are from so I'll assume that you are from MD. There will definately be points assessed to your license. There are actually several things you can do. If you are a local, go back to the scene to see if there are any speed signs posted since the last on ramp or street. If you DID NOT pass a speed sign it is an automatic easy court dismissal. If you never have been to a driver's ed course after receiving a ticket, that is another option. The course is usually a couple weekends and it will cancel out your ticket like you've never even gotten it. But like I said you can not have ever gone to one before. And the last thing you can do is at the bottom of the ticket it gives you the option to plead guilty but also to plead your case to the judge. Here you say you are guilty and tell the judge your best sob story of how you are the greatest driver ever and he may lower the fine, give no points, cancel the ticket all together or let it stand. Usually the judge will always side with you if you come to court on time, be respectful, actually show remorse and just to take the time and go there actually shows something.

Hope this helps and good luck! And never speed in MD 'cause the cops have nothing better to do!

thanks alot bro but i won't be going down to MD anytime soon. I'm from NJ. I don't worry about NJ because i have connections but i don't think they reach as far as MD I'm going to talk with my godfather who is a NJ PBA delegate. He's been on the force for more than 30 years now and has alot of connections. I will look into that drivers school though. thanks again

it all depends on your homestate.... I am from MD, and if MD drivers get a ticket in DE, VA, PA, & MD, we have to show up to court or lose our licence, HOWEVER, we dont get the points.... I got a wreckless driving ticket and speeding ticket all in one in VA, and points did not transfer over, but I had a big fine to pay (big deal) I know that VA DOES have the points transfer to them from MD, but I'm not sure of NJ law. I think if you make a trip down to the MD court system and explain to the judge that you haven't had a ticket in so long and say things like, "can I make a donation and pay the fine" or "can I do community service or something, I just really do not want these points on my license, I messed up, however this is a once in a lifetime mistake" they will reduce it. I have done it many times and I live IN the state. My current GF is a state trooper here in md. and she says the same thing... good luck buddy, let us know how it goes.....

OH and post pics of your wifey!

I always demand a jury trial. Normally the County attn. will plea it out to a nonmoving violation. Call the co. attn and tell him you wont fight it if he drops it to nonmoving. Might just work.

DAMN IT THICK!! I bet it was your girl who gave me the damn ticket!!
I have some naked pics of the wife,if your girl drops the ticket. I just got home not to long ago and i've been on the comp looking for ways to get the points off. My godfather says it's out of his jurisdiction(yeah i can spell)but he told me to just call and ask if i pay the fine right away will they stop the points from going to DMV. He said that it works here in NJ. I am seriously thinking of driving down for the court date. I looked up the MD point system on the computer and it says 10 mph and over is only 2 points and the next speed in 30mph and over being 5 points. I was going 17mph over the speed so i think only 2 points. I remember hearing that insurance companies allow 2 points or less,but with the messed up insurance in NJ i wouldn't be supprised if they raised my premium. BITCHES!!!! OK i'm fine. I need food and i'm going to hit the weights to let out some frustration. Thanks for the advice homies

lol it was fastfoods girlfriend not mine.
In Iowa, you can normally plead guilty and they will knock the speed down to under 10mph over. than ins. wont go up. Call the county attorney where u got the ticket and offer to pay otherwise you are demanding a jury trial b/c you were following a car etc and could fight the ticket but dont want to miss work etc. some are really cool about it

I got one going over the George Washington bridge doing 89 in a 45,by a port authority pig...i mean police officer. I was in my mustang and he caught me as i was slowing down. This was a few years ago. I was coming back from a club and i had been drinking but i wasn't drunk. I hired a lawyer from my town and i didn't have to pay even a court cost. My lawyer showed up an hour late and as soon as he walked in,the judge saw us and it was dismissed I should have been a lawyer... When i went into the lawyers office and talked about the incident with him,i told him that the cop looked mean and asked what if we had trouble with the cop letting the points go. He said "if he has a problem with it,he will have to come to court and face me and he doesn't want to do that" That mother had some balls. He didn't say it with a mean look on his face or smileing either. He just said it like that's how it was going to be,whether the cop liked it or not. I said it before,and i'll say it again.... I should have been a lawyer...... Did i mention that after i got that ticket,i topped my car out at 140mph,on the NJ turnpike? lol

I do remember her not asking me for my insurance card,but i thought she was just being nice. I thought that was only in Cali where you didn't need insurance

What's fucking retarded is people have to pay out money for speeding when speeding is not a problem and does not hurt anyone. Then you have people that drive like dumbasses talking on there cell phones, eating, fucking with shit in their cars, old people, all kinds of people who shouldn't be driving, slowing everyone else down, pissing me off, causing accidents, and never get tickets. Instead of clocking people, cops need to drive around and give people tickets who are driving like dumbasses.

amen dolphe. cell phone bastards and slow drivers are the dangerous bastards. And people like crew who drink and drive

They don't because cops are lazy plain and simple. They drive around in cars giving out tickets and have the best insurance and pension plans. We pay their goddamn salaries and they have nerve to give us tickets. All rookies look like they're in real good shape but once they're on the force for a few years it's amazing how out of shape they get. They don't eat donuts anymore now it's bagels.
