I’ve had it turned around on me with the DA recommending a certain charge, only to have the judge saying something like “with your driving record, you aren’t getting any breaks.” Lol.

What county was it in?

Just wondering if this was still a thing.

I'm not actually convicted of anything yet, I have a court date in June.

Found my answer:

Looks like it's still worth a shot - the DA will likely negotiate down or dismiss without an appearance.
A lot of hassle, but minimal filing fees.

2 point defective vehicle and $170.38 after fees.

And the judge educated me on what happens at 40 over the limit...

I'd say that's an excellent outcome.

90 in a 50, reckless driving and engaging in a speed contest netted me the reckless sticking, a $250 fine and a year of probation. That was also 12 years ago.

90 in a 65 is robbing the cradle.

So you're saying I could do 114 in a 75 before things get really ugly? [Coffee]
