first, i want to say thanks to all who are not being negative. i know i ****ed up. but for those who want to wish evil apon me are *******s.

second, i have been going through a lot lately. not going to go into it but i don't know how much lower i can get. might as well just build my coffin.

third, on the ticket for violation it states "23109 (a) vc - speed contest w/ misdemeanor circled". it states my speed later down as 120+ but doesn't state any other codes

It sucks so bad. however, it sounds corny as hell. but maybe he saved you from getting badly hurt since you were gonna keep racing until you got pulled over. it hapens all the time.
however, DUDE go to the drag strip. Hope you buy a lex next time you get a car

Man atleast there was no wreck or anybody hurt. We all have made mistakes and when I was your age I was doing much worse so dont feel so bad just learn from it. Each day is an opportunity to learn and progress ourselves.

I'm not going to give you a hard time about it. We've all done stupid things, all I would say is I hope you learned something (though I'm not going to specify what I hoped you would have learned here).

Advice: you might consider changing the OP to leave out the speed, some po-deptartments do watch the more popular forums (& this is one of the more popular forums out there). Note, changing the OP may not help you if some1 against you has already printed the pages.


Question: were you doing said high speed on a regular road way? or on a highway of some sort?

it was on the I-8 freeway in san diego, ca.

did some research on the code and street contest penalty for the first time.

the maximum penalty for taking part in speed contest is:

1. a $1,000 fine;

2. 90 days in jail;

3. a six month license suspension; and

4. having your car impounded for 30 days. (about 2.5-3k)

You're 18. Get in your car you paid for and leave. Time to fly. Be a big boy and get out of the house, live independently.

*flashback* () When I was a boy...... () when you got within a few months of your 18th birthday your parents persuaded you to "start looking" for a place to live.

Now that was the kick *** 80's/early 90's where people could function on their own without a support group and a double shot mocha latte, but still...... hit the road man and get going or live under their rules and their roof. Those are the choices.

Ok it was on the freeway, still very stupid, but at least not on a city street. my advice, first erase that youtube video of you doing donuts, that can come back big time to haunt you, and any other stupid stuff you might have posted. Suck it up big time, have the parents park the car, go out and get a full time job, or two part time jobs, and just work, eat, sleep etc.. and be a saint all summer, when your parents see your commitment, you have a chance to get the car back in the fall. good luck!

you are extremely lucky. if you lived here in colorado springs. they impound the car and the local fire department uses it for fire training purposes.

just be glad you didnt crash or worse.

Relax bro Im also a "street racer" fortunately im a little smarter than you and dont race I most of the time just watch but we go to industrial areas check the roads and there is no potential for cross traffic to make an unsafe illegal act as safe as we can I have friends that have been caught in various acts of street racing for example big burn outs actually making a pass etc and they all were initially arrested bailed out and went to court got a fine the threat of jail time probation and a suspended license but if your car was already released from impound as far as i know they cant tell you you need to surrender your vehicle for 30 days my advice to you is the best advice that you are going to get LAWYER dont stress on it to much just smarten up and dont do it again learn your lesson while your young take what you can from it and move on

No you are not, that is what lawyers are for. You better take a defensive driving course ASAP to show you are willing to correct your ways proactively.

Everyone can we please not bash the guy, we all have done stupid things when we were young.
