Thread: speeding ticket from nevada highway patrol...

    Default speeding ticket from nevada highway patrol...

    sup fellas, got back last nite from vegas...was off the hook. sooo many hot women, sooo much $$$ to lose...haha, broke about even considering i wasnt doing too much other than playing cards and drinking.

    anyway...

    so my buddies and i drove down to vegas in a rental car. dumbass ass rep gave us a brand new impala, get this: 6 miles on the clock! haha, it was indeed broken in by the time we got to vegas. trip was alot of fun, except for the fact that i got caught speeding by the NHP. he clocked it at 101 in a 70, so im 31 miles over the limit.

    my question to you guys is...anybody kno how much itll be and if i can take traffic school if i havent gone in the past 18 months? i called the court house and they said that they wont kno anything until 4 weeks has passed. juss wanted an estimate of how much its gonna cost so ill kno how many extra shifts ima gonna need to work, haha.

    oh wells, considering it was a long lonely stretch of highway 95 with no cars on my side of the road @ 1230 in the am. what do they expect us to do? drive the speed limit, ha! oh yea, i had my radar dectector on but sounded off juss as he turned on his lights. im thinking he had his gun pointed at me from a distance and didnt turn it on till that very last min. sucks.

    but overall had a good time. id do it again, go back to vegas. next time, ima gonna fly...

    glad to hear you had fun, but sorry to hear about that ticket.

    anyways, any ticket (in ca) going 15 mph over the speed limit will not let you take traffic school.

    i think insurance will be the main killer here thomas.

    Sorry to hear about the ticekt. It really sucks whether it's in CA or NV. I guess CA cars traveling to Las Vegas are main source of income to NHP.

    I heard violation in another states won't affect your driving record in the state where your license issued. So hopefully, it won't affect your insurance either. I am not sure whether this applies here in CA or not.

    Good luck.

    Thomas...#1 Im glad you had fun in Vegas...Im flying out there in two weeks and cant wait!

    #2 Anytime you break 100mph there is no chance in hell of traffic school...also it is a 2-point violation...which means that your license will possibly be suspended (mine was). Also, be prepared to pay up the ass in fines and insurance for the next 3 years.


    sorry bro..I hate being the bearer of bad news.

    I got a speeding ticket in Cali (106 in a 45) when I still had a Nevada driver license and HAD to appear in court and they said traffic school was not an option but did reduce price to like 300 bucks. But it really hurt the most with insurance. But on the good side i didnt loose my license.

    It does affect you driving record because they have a database that they put any violation you get even in different states. Sorry about your ticket bro. In Cali. anything over 30 mph the posted sign is considered reckless driving and no traffic school. Now since you got caught in NV., it depends on your driving record and the judge on the kind of penalty he/she will give you.

    lucky he didn't put you in jail, homie.
    over 100mph is reckless driving.

    anyways, lucky you just got a ticket and got home safely.

    i am going on vacation to vegas next week too, can't wait.

    good luck on this case. take the traffic school if allowed. could save you good amount of $$$ on insurance like others have stated above.

    thanks for everyones response. really cant do anything until 4 weeks rolls around, juss wanted to get some input on this...never had a ticket issued in a diff. state.

    ive decided to fly back and fight the ticket. well if ima gonna pay up, mind as well show up and explain the reasoning, haha.

    if anything, i think "your honor" will lessen the fine if i show up. insurance will be another story. *shrugs*

    thats life...
