I am just so lost and could use some help

Answer 1

For doing that speed I'd have thrown you in the slammer, keep your foot off the gas pedal jerk.!

Answer 2

yeah....count your blessings...you would have been put in jail in most other places.

pay your ticket and be glad you did not run over some little kid that could have gotten in front of you.

Answer 3

im lost too!!but i do no going 28 miles over the speed limit unless you on a legal racing track seems to me like a first degree offense.  you should just pay the 303 and always follow traffic laws.... well laws period as they are made for our safety/good, you wouldnot have wanted to hit anybody/thing going that fast so thank your lucky stars you didn't ...pay the ticket... and try to obey rules...nah i ain't no prayer book but am teachable

Answer 4

I am a municipal police chief and I have never heard of classes of speeding tickets.  Was your ticket issued through a county court or a major metropolitan area?  If so you need to call the prosecutor who is handling your case to explain it to you.  That is your best bet because if the other areas do have "classes" of tickets, each area may go by a different set of guidelines.

Answer 5

That fast, should have thrown you in jail.
