Hey guys,

I just got my second ticket in my 150. They were both 74 in a 45. Im only 16 and Ive had my license and truck for 4 months. Looks like I am gonna start driving speed limit... Wish me luck.

Mike

 

Good luck!

Yeah... I learned on my 1st ticket... even though it technically wasn't my fault that the spring broke on my throttle body and having dealer provided proof. But whatever, I took the blame anyways.

I was and am always a careful driver. If it wasn't for that mishap, I'd still be clean. But whatever...

Plus, since I am heading to get my CDL next year... I need to make sure I stay clean.

Oh and it's been 4+ years since I got that ticket, so the points and the record was taken off on the 4th year.

 

Why????? That's gonna be a stiff ticket man. You will learn your lesson once the state takes all your money.

 

The first ticket I am doing the driving school for but the second ticket, I cant... How many points will it take off and how bad will it affect insurance?

 

Couldn't tell you. I got my speeding tickets moved to non moving violations. How much is the ticket? And why were you doing 74 in a 45? That aint safe or smart bro.

 

16, license 4 months, 2 speeding tickets, V-8 engine vehicle? If I was your Dad you'd have bigger worries than how many points or how much it will affect insurance... The difference WOULD be paid, if not in $$, then in sweat equity. I've got some nasty gutters that need to be cleaned, and a messy garage and...

 

When I got mine, it jacked my insurance up like $450 a year extra... now since it is off, it is actually cheaper than it was a couple years ago before I got the ticket... go figure. But that was only 3 points... But it appears that Florida uses a different point system, and it looks like you will be getting 4 points.

However, I only got 3 points since the DA reduced it to 1 mph over the limit. *****, yes. But I did do over the limit in some sense. So I was guilty and Ford was guilty at the same time. So it was only fair that way. At least it was fair. Could've been much harsher.

But I didn't even bother with the driving school junk. I know I am a good driver and that was just a simple mishap. I didn't do it on purpose nor intentionally... but I did go over 30 mph so I was guilty in some sense.

 

What part of boca do you live in? Im 18 and I live in deerfield, right by the beach on federal.

 

west boca

 

I dunno how your state handles it but you might be loosing your license for 90 days know I did when got two moving violations before I was 18

 

Does anyone know the point laws in California, I thought 8 points or somewhere around there got you suspended here.

 

i am in illinois and law here is 2 moving violations in 2 years and you lose your license if you are under 21. i found out the hard way got my tickets exactly 1 year apart. havent been stopped since and that has been about 5 years ago.

 

Like a cop once told me. "Nice truck, just enjoy it alittle slower please." Yeah tickets suck. I used to have a heavy foot in my old truck, but I've slowed down lots since I bought my new one, its just not worth it.

 

Ahhh been there, done that. Difference is I didnt get caught

 

well' you have some learning to do, i hope this second incident is the first educational tool to educating yourself. Speeding is no good! Not for you nor for the other motorist on the road with you! lets see 74 in 45 what if just for instance a child would of jumped out in front of you? just asking? Alot of kids play in a 45 mph zone! Well as a professional frieght relocator (truck driver) w/ 18 yrs (12 on the asphalt over the road, and 6 off road log hauler) under my belt and 2.25 million miles incident, accident, and violation free! I dont want to seem like im just mauling you or smacking you around but you will have to grow up one day and understand that burning tires, speeding, drag racing, its all a form or another of stupidity! Now dont get me wrong im not saint but then again there is a time and a place for that type of activity! (LIKE THE DRAG STRIP) If you feel the need for speed then head to local track, as many of them will have a strictly stock class and let you bring your street legal hotrods in and show what you can do! Keep it off the streets, my kids are on the street playing. Maybe your nieces and nephews, maybe your best friends neices nephews, and hell every child has a parent or two. THIS AINT A HATER SPEECH so please dont take it that way.
someone please tell this a$%whole to quit blowing smoke in my face( maybe then i can quit squinting!)
