Uh oh, the State wants to talk to me.
Got this in the mail with a letter from the State of Michigan, I have to go a Driver Assessment Reexamination. When you see your reecord for the last 6 years on paper, it doesn't look good. At least they didn't pull for my life cause it's pages long. Wonder what they'll do to me?

Just think of all the shit we've paid to get out of. If that was on there you'd be toast.
I've said it a thousand times, you are the ONLY person I know that gets as many tickets as me. LOL
Oh and BTW, I didn't think the trooper knocked our speed down to 70 on those tickets this past May??? I guess so eh? That's was better than the eighty something he supposedly clocked us at.

I know you was probably doin a Buck Fiddy in everyone of those instances and the arresting officer knocked it back  That's the story I would go with  That sheet kinda looks like showing up on death roll for spitting on the sidewalk....

While mine are far further spaced apart, they're all for piddly shit too, just like that. I have been EXTREMELY fortunate when riding. I am not so sure about psychic stuff but the number of times I have shut it down from deep into triple digits to just 10 over or something and within seconds a cop appears has been more than makes sense rationally... Though I also do slow down when conditions are becoming blind with regard to potential oncoming traffic so that does account for at least part of that. Hopefully that trend will continue!
Sorry to hear about your troubles Otis, that really sucks AND HARD! 
Best wishes for the outcome!

Chris that don't look good man. They got 12 points on you.
Here in Ohio your license are suspended for a year when you get 12 points. Don't ask how I know this. I just do.
We have a defensive driving school here in Ohio that you can attend one time in your life. It takes two points off your record. I had to do that back in 1988, I used to be much worse than I am today. You probably knew that already lol

Yeah, I gotta agree. Most of these have to be "officer adjusted" speeds
3 - 5 mph over
2 - 10 mph over
1 - 14 mph over
2 - 15 mph over
1 - 19 mph over
1 - 25 mph over
1 - Unknown mph over (4/27/03)
Most local and county cops here won't even pull you over for a warning unless your going at least 10 mph over. That would eliminate five tickets. Most state troopers won't mess with you unless your doing at least 15 mph over. That would get rid of three more. Arkansas driving records are kept for three years, not six. I think it is 8 points and you'll be in trouble here.
Also, if you have a clean driving record IN the city or county the ticket is issued in, you can often get probation and just pay a fine. The length of the probation varies from city to city (nothing or driving school to 1 year), but after the fine is paid and the probation time served, the records are deleted and nothing is ever forwarded to the state. If you do get another ticket IN that city or county before the probation period ends, both tickets can now be pulled up and forwarded to the state DMV.
On the other hand, if you get pulled over and can not produce a valid DL or proof of insurance, they can impound your vehicle and leave you standing there. Even if you haven't violated any other traffic law.
I think that in the past 8 years, I have been pulled over about 35 times. Out of those 35 times, I got a ticket in five instances. The rest were "verbal warnings".. Only one of those ticket actually went onto my state record and it dropped off in '01. Three others I got probation from the city or county I got the ticket in. Nothing was ever forwarded to the state. So I have a clean driving record... so far.
What about the fifth ticket? It was the last time I got pulled over on Oct. 15, 2005. The town marshal claims he paced me for "quite some distance" doing 110 mph in a 55 zone (no radar was involved). Little does this yahoo know, I not only have two witnesses, but he is also taking on the REDELK! Data Research King!.
Not only do I have the complete area measured out to the foot (via GPS and mapping software), but I also have performance data from the Office of Law Enforcement Standards concerning his CVPI (Crown Victoria Police Interceptor). This data is to be used, along with the GPS data, to prove that it would be impossible to have caught me if I was actually doing what he said I was doing.
Oh, I also have an aerial photograph of the area in question that has such information a jurisdictional town boundaries and points of interest marked with a small dot and identifying notes next to each dot that corresponds to the listed GPS measurements. The tale of this event will be a future post as soon as my trail is over in one week.

Don't you mean "oral warnings" ? Lucky you live in Arkansas, most of the conversations probably start out with you pulling off your helmet and the copy saying "boy your mouth sure looks purty."
Nice sheet Chris, hopefully all those 5 overs were all breaks and not the original stops. You must either have a target on you, or maybe cut back on the FTP t-shirt wearing.

All of these tickets were in response to getting pulled over for at least 10 over and then given a break by the cop on the scene to a lesser speed. Unfortunately, they always write on the ticket the actual speed in case I try to fight them.

Believe me Rick, I have done this more times than I care to admit. Even though I don't have lace panties like my compadre from the North , I have become way more selective about running. Especially since the THP has a chopper in my area now.
But back in the day I was even known to deliberately cause a chase or 3. I can't even believe I am still alive. I'm glad I am though!!!!!!!!!!!

They want do shit. Make you take a safety class and then they knock off some points.. They could suspend your license for a little while if you are asshole or look rough. Just go in clean cut and make up some bullshit story. Tell them that you are broke and you can't afford to speed anymore at all.. And your wife is raising hell etc.....

Man I was coming home from a bike night and I had a couple of beers. This girl was on the back and she was kind of grabbing on to my netherlands screaming lets go faster. We live in a small town and kind of expected no one to really be out at 1 am. I was going a lil faster than I should have been. I was doing about 128 mph when I let off and thats when I noticed a county officer pulling out to say hi from behind some hiding place. By the time I slowed down he was on my ass and when we pulled over the girl was so drunk she fell of the bike. Turned out I was going 128 in a 35 with a wasted blonde on the back. The cop was so pissed he said i went by him before he had his radar pointed and that he couldnt prove how fast I was going but he knew I was going over a hundred. He followed us home and told us to have a great night. I was scared shitless, swore I was going to need someone to post bail.

I have never stopped but in this case I was with these guys on this one and their was no place to run too. We had just entered the Blueridge PKWY from Ashville side heading west Barney Fiffe was at first overlook. And the next turnoff was at least 30 miles. No place to run too. Rangers would have set up road blocks.
I grit my teeth when I say this. But I would have stopped on that one also.
