My last reckless driving ticket I got was from a state trooper, 2nd offense. I went to court with no lawyer nothing, just me. My total fines were $111 including court cost. You'll be alright.












But I highly recommend getting a lawyer

 

yeah.... lol. i wont saw what. but could be worse like hunter’s last run in with the law........... he is still paying for that, that was a few months ago.

 

Whatever happened with that haha I've not talked to him in awhile

 

got it dropped to a lesser charge, and i think a shit ton in fines.

 

That's good, sorta. I mean hell it's a lot better then it could have been you know what I mean haha

 

I'm diggin it dude. Seems like it would be clean and not overly done. Maybe have the supercharged badge about 1/3 the size or something like that. And don't worry ..... I know you u need me

 

yeah it is, and i know what you mean.

i nag hi about it sometimes, and give him shit for it even happening in the first place.

 

How do you people always get reckless driving tickets.

I've gotten:

83 in a 45
95 in a 70 (in a tacoma with 5" and 33's)
60 in a 45
81 in a 60
68 in a 65 (yes I was pissed about this. had to use two contacts in the police force to get them to drop it)

Always just mailed in a check.

 

anything 20+ over can be reckless. and charged as so. but does not all ways mean it is.


the 2 over is BS, and i know people that have gotten stuff like that and gone to court and it gets dropped.

 

It doesn't have to be 20 over. It's up to the officer. It comes down to how he articulates it in the warrant.

"Any person who drives any vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property commits reckless driving."

 

^^^^Yup, what he said^^^^

 

getting a pretty good storm!

 

Very true. It also works the opposite way though. When I was 16, I had a 12 sec crx. I used to fuck off in it all the time cause I was young and dumb. We used to drag race in front of my school as it had a mile straight away. One night after work, I drag raced by myself and got clocked at 86 in a 15. After about 30 mins or so of him bitchin at me and tellin me that I was goin to jail and my car was getting impounded, he had a heart to heart talk with me and told me about how he used to do dumb shit when he was a kid and he didn't think the right thing to do was to take me to jail. So he wrote me a warning ticket and told me that this was my second chance and I need to learn and take advantage of the opportunity.

Point is its all up to the discretion of the officer.

 

that's ridiculously lucky
This weekend this beat up old Mitsubishi eclipse tried to race my friend in his Hyundai Genesis and we hit 130 in a 65. Thought he was gonna get clocked by a cop and hauled away. I was holding on for dear life

 

Did he remove the speed limiter? And yeah he would've been super fucked

 

Damn Gid! Talk about gettin lucky!

Since we're talking about speed now......discuss. Just came out today.

Wow! That thing is a whole ecu. It literally programs everything down to door chimes and shit. The door locking thing is kinda cool. Lol It seems like a good data logging unit and recoding 60' and quarter mile times is cool but keep in mind, you ain't just gonna magically unlock a lot of hp by plugging in a tuner. This ain't no diesel. There isn't 300 hp hidden in emission restrictions. If that were the case then it would be worth throwing a stock truck on the dyno and tuning it. Taylor might could benefit from this but you are also talking about a straight plug in tuner that will be gaining power from stuff like: retarding timing, leaning fuel, and raising boost. but how much would you trust that thing to safely and correctly change those on the fly with no "testing" to back up the data? I know plug in programmers do this on diesels everyday with no problems but do you wanna be the first person to test it on your truck? Lol I'd like to see more details on the tuning system side of it first

 

I completely agree. Very interesting but I'm definitely waiting to hear real world reviews. And even bully dog or sct tuners for my buddy's f250 6.0 wasn't worth a shit. But a local guy that does all the stuff for riff raff diesel put some custom tunes on his truck and he's putting out close to 500hp and 1000tq now. Yes his 6.0 is bulletproof. I was wondering now that the ecu has been cracked if the guy at our local shop might could design custom tunes for my truck. But yes, I know, you're not going to get crazy gains from any gas truck.

 

Did you just say 6.0 and bulletproof in the same sentence!? That's the biggest piece of crap engine ever built! Yes, even worse then a rotery.

 

x999999999. one of the worst engines ever!



also like gid said, no ecu/tuner i going to do much to our engines. I i would not get something that just came out this week.
