His ticket was a super speeder offense, got it knocked down from four points to zero so good for him. He had about the same outcome as me, except I did not have to go to court. My fine was actually higher which is surprisingA friend got a ticket for 74 in a 45 zone last month. Had court yesterday. No lawyer; he just wanted to get a fair plea offer from the Solicitor. (He had to come to court in person; they would not accept a guilty plea by mail with a payment sent ahead of court date.)
Not quite a super-speeder offense, but still pretty big as far as speeding goes.
He also had a clean 7-year MVR. His last recorded ticket was 20-something years ago.
RESULT: Nolo plea, Reduction to 14 mph over limit, no points on license, should have no impact on his insurance rates.
$400 fine. No defensive driving, no probation, nothing else. Just the fine, and done.
