Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

Y'all need to get out more

 

Hey, I get out when I go to work.

It's not often there's 3 TW members who hadn't met each other except for TW working in the same area. That's pretty wild, imo.

 

Hey KC guys, I'm new to the area and have a couple of questions. Got a speeding ticket last night, going 10 over. In Texas, you can take a defensive driving course to keep a ticket off your record and away from the insurance people's eyes. Is there a similar system here? The officer I spoke to just said to pay a lawyer to have the ticket reduced to a non-moving violation, which doesn't affect insurance. Is that common practice here?

 

Okay I can't put my name on what I believe is a hotel in the background but I believe you are north of me up Ambassador... Ever go to Scott's Kitchen? Its close to us and if you haven't YOU MUST GO NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Knock on wood but I haven't had a ticket in years.... I think Kansas side has something you can get a diversion where it won't show on your record if you don't get a ticket for X amount of time. Last ticket I got was on a bicycle... (Platte county Sheriff got humiliated and it was thrown out once they saw camera footage) but I believe Missouri has a similar option.

Anyone use Waze app? I am constantly surprised how often cops appear on it while driving. I know its saved me a couple times.

 

Pretty much.

 

I drive by it on the way home everyday.

Looks like it is an option if your not over 25 mph

 

They have weird hours... I know they are open later but still close pretty early 5:30/6 I think but its certainly worth checking out

Edit: Later as in they used to close after lunch

 

That's what I did a few years ago.

As I mentioned, we are on the other side of the highway.

Never been there, will have to check it out sometime.

 

Reading and brain power has never been my strong points... I just spent a solid half hour on Google maps street view... Now looks like I am going to the other side now!

 

Do you know if this is doable on the MO side also?

 

Do you still have that lawyer or law firms info? When I google this stuff most of it seems like a scam tbh

 

It varies by county on the MO side.

Easiest way is to use a traffic lawyer, it's pretty basic stuff for them. You'll be out the fine, plus their $50 fee (ish) but then nothing on your license and your insurance is cool about it.

 

It looks like it is what county? I can't seem to find any specific links like KS side shows

 

Court address is for Kansas City MO, I'm assuming Jackson county

 

The lawyer I used moved to NM, I spent a good chunk.

I googled too and honestly this looks ok to me, https://thejanssenlawoffice.com/ticketlawyer/
