well court starts in 15 min. Ill update later

 

Good luck to you!

 

250 dollar fine but 6 month suspended license. Ouch

 

Could have been worse I guess. Try getting a work permit.

Wow! That sucks!!

 

I knew OHIO sucked, but that really sucks. You are going to take hit with the insurance company, let alone a host of other ways it will affect you...

 

Considering my wife has ms and is disabled which I told the judge and my record only has 4 or 5 moving violation in26 years of driving and no criminal history at all, I thought the judge was a little tough. Could have been worse the excessive speed could have gotten me 30 days in jail. I will try to vote him out next election

 

not what I would have expected at all... usually the other way around here. More $$$$$ but no suspension...sorry to hear it man...hopefully you have family or friends to get you around...or the old moped...

 

Have you considered the use of a stinger missile??

 

I think you got off lightly compared to the penalties for that offense here in Ontario. Note these are based on 50 kph (30mph) over, not 50mph over.

Let's face it you earned the punishment, man up and take the lumps.


"If you are charged for speeding at 50 km/h over the speed limit, police will suspend your licence and impound your vehicle at the roadside.
Penalties for street racing, stunt driving and driving 50 km/h or over the speed limit
Pre-conviction – Immediate 7-day licence suspension and 7-day vehicle impoundment
Upon conviction - $2,000 to $10,000 fine, 6 demerit points, up to 6 months jail, up to 2 years licence suspension for a first conviction
Second offence – Driver licence suspension up to 10 years within 10 years of first conviction
The following demerit point pen alties are assigned to a driver convicted of a speed-related offence. Remember, if you collect enough demerit points, you can lose your driver's licence.
3 points for exceeding the speed limit by 16 to 29 km/h
4 points for exceeding the speed limit by 30 to 49 km/h
6 points for exceeding the speed limit by 50 km/h or more"

 

I'm all out of stingers used them all on the 4th. Have some RPG though. Lol

 

yea but in Canada I could have used the ole Jedi mind trick. " I was not speeding I can go on my way" mounty " carry on"

 

My only question, did you have a lawyer?

 

Dave, you forgot the best part:

 

What are those, socialist laws? It sure doesn't show with the truckers from Canada. Some of the worse drivers on the road. Most aren't even Canadian, but have a Canadian drivers license. Strict on one end, not on the commercial end...go figure...

 

I expected a HUGE ($900 to $2000) fine - this seems backwards.

Threads and stories like this make me think $450 or so to go to a road course for a day isn't so bad.

 

Couldnt agree more. Sure street racing is illegal and usually unsafe, and breaking the 'law' should involve some form of punishment, but to do this to these peoples cars is complete and utter crap! If I had been on the recieving end if that punishment you can believe that some retaliation would be warranted, and dealt to the local officials that okayed the acts. Fine me, suspend my license or put me in jail for a short period of time, all perfectly legitimate punishments to fit the so called 'crime'. Destroy my hard work to set an 'example'? Line crossed…

 

How socialism and reckless driving has anything to do with one another I have no clue. We do not have financial worries when we get sick, and we are not left to die because we do not have enough insurance.
How about the guy here who was selling his Crossfire to help pay for his relatives health care. The land of the free is not quite all it's cracked up to be if you ask me.

I'd say several people agree with you! Think they moved up there during the Vietnam Era.

 

Do you think the red wheels on that whitish crushed cube are plasti dipped?

The owners get forced to watch, that's the good thing.
