Unhappy How To Do A Tune-Up On My Record??? HELP

I have a car that looks fast, and to be honest I have a big problem with speeding that has become a very expensive disease. Yes i feel it is a disease that I yet cure .

Now to the point, I have a good amount of tickets which resulted in points. Every ticket is paid in full. But has left a good trail of about 12points. I fear that my license will come to suspension soon, and of course I have to fight another two point ticket and pray it gets dropped. That would equal 14points.

Is the any program,” beside defensive driving school” that can prevent me form a suspension. I have already started my own program call STOP SPEEDING? Should I get a lawyer to help me if one can help? Is there anyway I can consolidate my points?

First of all, let me commend you for realizing you have a problem with speeding. But, let me hasten to add that speeding is NOT a disease--and it isn't because it you have a fast car. I have a Corvette, C-5 running 345 hp, and a 1979 Corvette with a 383 stroker motor with roller rockers, 373 rear end, double pumper carb, nearly 475 hp-(with a supercharger on hold to install that will give me over 700 hp)--not to mention a racing truck with nearly the same. I am certain NO police officer in town could catch me---not even in their token Charger. Yet, never in my life have I gotten a ticket or any vehicle infraction. Just because you have the power, or ability to speed doesn't mean it is a given that you should.

Another reason I exercise extreme caution when behind the wheel ( and still have a lot of fun ) is because my life has been changed by careless drivers---one that was at fault when he hit me, and another that was at fault when he hit and killed my husband a few months ago. REALIZING you have the ability to take another persons life will forever change your attitude about driving. Its called MATURITY. Sadly, there IS no class that teaches that--besides life.

The second issue--separate from the speeding--is the tickets. You cannot change the fact that you "earned" what appears to be an impending suspension. Although going to class can demonstrate a willingness to change. In the Courts opinion , everyone is "sorry" once it comes to suspension. A friend of mine says the only cure for the "disease of speeding" is the same cure that cured him----riding a MOPED for five years for losing his license for DUI.

Unless you can come up with a better "cure", I suggest you go moped shopping. Of course, you can consult with a local attorney who could advise you with the specifics of your case, but generally speaking, aside from the class, there is little you can do to demonstrate remorse aside from the cure I've mentioned (albeit tongue in cheek).

Driving is a privilege. Some people do not possess the ability to actually understand that until they've lost it. THEN, when they get their license back, they understand.

You could definitely get a lawyer, and it may help, but at the same time, it may not considering you already have 12 points. Frankly, I'm surprised you have that many points and haven't had your license suspended already.

If your lawyer can get your most recent ticket dropped, then I would guess your license won't get suspended. If he can't, well, I would hope you get your license suspended.

Either way, I would strongly suggest you slow down. Sell your car and buy something slower, or take public transportation. Your reckless driving likely endangers other innocent lives.
