So due to a very stupid situation, I am looking at 3 years no license.
Last month I was entering onto the interstate, and right where the 2-lane would end I had looked over and noticed that there was a truck pretty much right next to me. I threw it down a gear and sped up so he wouldn’t have to nail his brakes. The zone I entered on the interstate was 55mph, and I entered at 66mph, and then slowed back down to the speed limit once I was clear. As soon as I started slowing down, a Trooper came hauling ass up on my car and pulled me over. He then had a total asshole attitude, and told me that my actions just cost me a couple hundred bucks. Gee…. Ya think?!?! Now I knew that I only had a few points left to give, but thought I would be ok so I just went ahead and paid the ticket. Well, yesterday I just got a letter in the mail that states that I have lost my license for 3 years. It is 3 years because I lost my license back when I was 18, and the law states that you will loose it for 3 years if you are a 2-time offender within 5 years.
Now that I’m pretty much screwed for 3 years, I went ahead and requested to withdraw my plea of guilty so I can fight this ticket. The lawyer fees are going to leave a mark, but I have no other choice. The really shitty part about this whole deal is that every ticket on my record was caused by little speeding here and there while I was just going with the flow of traffic, and picked out of the crowd. I just wanted to throw that out there before you flame my driving habits, because I actually haven’t been picked up for anything serious or stupid driving in over 5 years. All but one of those on my record is for 10mph or under….
Pretty shitty deal, huh. Here is a picture describing what exactly happened:
