yeah, if I were you guys I'd be thanking that guy from the bottom of my heart.. I hope that was your idea, and not your moms.

I would definately get a lawyer and go to court in an effort to get it thrown out. I would specify to the lawyer that you want it thrown out and not just reduced. Or, if reduced, to a non moving violation. IE: Improper Equiptment. (If you realy do think you blew a tire) That way, it won't hurt your record and also won't affect you in the YEARS to come. IE: Possibly getting a job where they may take you driving record into account or anything like that.


I have even been to court before where the oficer was not present. The judge said he was going to reschedule the court date. My lawyer went and had a 30 second converstion with him, and it was dropped, not reduced! If it wasnt for him, I would have had to go back another day and face my Wreckless driving charge.

Either way, good luck getting things taken care of.

Steve

I really think the tire might have blown out. We were on a straight!

Thanks guys, I will be getting a lawyer ASAP. I still just can't beleive this happened. I think about it all the time. But I guess there is nothing I can do now but look ahead toward something newer and better.
