Exactly. I love the harsh judjments from people who are members of a forum dedicated to a car that was designed for one purpose: to go fast. I highly doubt there is a person here that has not done something on the street that could be considered "reckless" by someone's standards.

Amen, to each his own. If you feel like going 100 in a 50 by all means go right ahead. No one is ever thinking of the consequences when they go that fast, only when they get caught. You cannot have a fast car and be a model driver 100% of the time. I am neither with you nor against you for your crime but best of luck to you anyway.

here in AZ they also have aggressive driving. it is 3 tickets lumped into 1. we are allowed 8 points on our licenses & that ticket here is 8 points meaning a $500 fine AND 3 month suspension. i got 1 in 99 & i also found out that the ticket eventually falls BUT THE POINTS NEVER GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i also had gotten another ticket a month after that for "exhibition of speed" which is also 8 points. so as long as i stay in AZ i will always have 16 points on an 8 point license system. maybe you need to go out & get that Passport 8500 X50 & the laser shifter...

Get a lawyer! I got a reckless for 88 in a 55. I took a driving school before the court date hoping to get it reduced but no luck. I'm glad it was out of state.

5 over was kind of sarcastic but im talking the whole general idea of street racing, i mean with people in your car , your now responsible for their lives too. He was going 127 in a 50. 127 on the interstate is bad enough.

hey.. that happened to me before and i was worrying my *** off about it... no biggie really.. since its your first offense.. just plead guilty and most likely they will put you on probation for 6 month and have you take a defensive driving test..... if you pass the test early.. your probational period ends early... atleast thats what happened to me..
