Damn, and you just got rid of your electronic monitoring bracelet too! Oh well, that's what you get for overcharging that poor sucker for your wheels.
you forgot that he didn't ship nor intends to ship the wheels

You didn't tell the cop you knew me? Surely, he would have let you go had you mentioned me.

Anyway, welcome to the club son! Biiiiiiiya! You should make a copy of that ticket and frame it.

What wheels?


I'm wondering if I can go to court and ask for a reduced sentence to be eligible for traffic school?

If you show up to court, the judge will cut a deal with you. It happens all the time in NY. Then again, California's deficit is so bad, you might be screwed. Sorry, couldn't resist T.

BTW - Had you had dinner with me last night, you wouldn't have received this ticket.

Damn my g/f got a 93 mph on a 65 last weekend on the 99. Fuckin cops, they already gave a ticket why cant they just write it for something slower! Fight it with TBWD, you have nothing to lose b/c you don't get traffic school anyways.

My only question Tony is: How come it took this long for you to get a ticket? You have a friggin M5. How did you avoid it this long?

Damn!!!!!! Sorry bud....I would hire a lawyer to help you fight it in court. It may cost you $1,500 for the lawyer, but at least it would give you a chance to not have it go on your record, and affect your insurance premiums... good luck!
