It was a grim day
-
40 and i was going 30-35
-
oh yeah and since I have to come back for my court date next month, I have to fly back from Chicago for it and miss school. That really sucks thats another 150 bucks out of my pocket. Any other ways to get out of it?

i believe if you can prove that it was not your fault and that you were travelling under the speed limit and it was the road conditions that caused it they may forget about it im not sure

It doesn't matter what the speed limit was you were driving to fast for the conditions. Theres no way out of that ticket.
You will have to pay for any property damage you caused. Do you have full coverage and are you filing a claim?

My mom just got home and was telling me about how shitty 34th was...crazy shit man. As for insurance and paying up you're probably screwed. I think it's stupid that you still got an excessively driving ticket since there is no real way to know how fast you should be going and going less than 30 is too slow for anybody that isn't mentally handicapped. Good Luck!

ok 14 grand joel...

If you were driving your car beyond your abilities and/or were driving too fast for the conditions (speed limit is only relative to a perfect driving condition) you are at fault. Sorry, you will lose in court because at least one of the two above scenarios are true.
-
so i should plead guilty. guilty with explanation? is there anyway that I do not have to show up in court? on the ticket it says I have to but I live and go to school in Chicago.
-
as far as the damage, do you think its repairable?
-
plead not guilty....theres no way they can prove you were driving stupid..unless there was a witness saying you did....which you didnt state there was.
as far as damage....the rear 1/4 is pretty messed up and krinkled and everything else....they'll probably total it out.

Even though other cars on the road were traveling the same speed as you does not mean that you weren't going too fast for conditions based on your vehicle/driving skills.
As for what to plead, hard to say. Not guilty will at least get you the chance to plead your case. Guilty pretty much puts you at the mercy of the court.
Even though I think you are going to be found guilty, I think that by showing up and testifying you have a better chance of having the charges reduced, or perhaps even dropped.
