Speeding Issue?
Hey guys!
I've come here for advice from you guys incase anyone had a similar experience. I'm new to my '16 maro and while driving back from NC to FL through GA managed to get pulled over doing 108 on a 70 on a interstate highway 10 hours into a 12 hour drive. Didn't get a ticket but have been called to court. I'm not necessarily looking for legal advice, I'm planning on showing up and pleading the situation to the judge and hoping for a light fine. Does anyone have any words or thoughts? |

How can you be called to court without a ticket? The county has your ticket on file. Google the county, it will be online. Dont skip the court date.

That's usually minimum reckless driving. It sounds like maybe you really had no idea you were going that fast??

38 over? That's a mandatory court appearance and good luck with a "light fine."

Well, going that fast you certainly won't be believed if you use the excuse "I'm not used to the car yet"
There's really nothing you can do except offer to take whatever class/pay whatever fine they ask to avoid more severe penalties (i.e. jail)
