Lost my drivers licence yesterday night after speeding through a redlight in the early morning hours with not another soul in sight, except a policevan with lasers and nothing better to do... Cops said it's suspended for 5 years atleast or I could appeal it in court. Had to call a friend to come drive me and the car back home...
Would appealing this even be worth a shot? I know I was in the wrong, but 5 fucking years?!
I'm obviously driving to work tomorrow, but what are the odds I'll get pulled over in the next few years? What are the consequences?
I think I've been pulled over just twice in the last 3 years for not wearing a seatbelt, so pretty "safe" driver.
This makes no sense. I’ve had my license revoked before and that was after a shit ton of infractions. 2 seatbelt tickets and running a red light do not equal a 5 year revocation.
Aiden Perez
Are you a fucking idiot. It's a ticket. not a 5 year suspension, unless you were drunk.... People are morons.
Lincoln Lewis
did he take your license too? lol wut
Cooper Parker
5 years sounds extremely harsh. how fast were you going?
Luis Barnes
>pulled over just twice in the last 3 years for not wearing a seatbelt >Lost my drivers license Cop here. You didn't lose your license for this reason. Tell us the truth about your record
Dylan Wright
That's a ridiculous punishment. You should only be fined. Get a lawyer and appeal to the dmv for a restricted license. Btw if the dmv has not issued a notice that your license is suspended, it's not.
Blake Cook
sounds like you need to learn your lesson. you'll get a chance to practice and drive better in 5 years time.
Jason Russell
either you're a liar, a fucking retard, or theres something you're not telling us. A police officer cant revoke your licence, that has to be done by a judge, and theres a lot of court and paperwork involved.
Cooper Phillips

Tyler Miller

Nathan Rivera
Cops can't take your license away. Only court can do that. Have a nice day.
Make appeal Trade reduced sentence for guilty plea in out of court settlement
Jaxon Nguyen

Evan Wood

Grayson Howard

Anthony Price
Not a ticket or anything, got a court date, and he took my license. Like took it and didn't give it back...
I'm EU so not sure how miles/kms transfer, but I was going kinda fast 210-200 km/h through 60 km/h sign. Again, it was early morning and not another person on the roads anywhere.
You're a shitty cop then, or NA cop. Guy took my license and never gave it back. Just said "no" when I asked for it...
Levi Adams
Lawyer up. It should just be a fine but if your lawyer is worth any salt it will be thrown out on a technical with court costs to pay. (cost you about the same as the ticket) But yeah, calling bullshit on the revoke; there is more to the story.
Benjamin Sanders
>210-200 km/h through 60 km/h sign Ah, a retard then! Makes perfect sense now.
Joseph Cooper
>Just said "no" when I asked for it... That wasn't a cop... You were just robbed dude lol
Elijah Wilson
>210 km
Well...
Brody Bennett
If you were going that far over the speedlimit it's fair to lose your license. Even if there's nobody around, that's just obscenely fast.
Christopher Scott
Heard this happening in the EU before, based on what I know at least consult a lawyer, most will do a consultation for free or not much up front.
Unfortunately my law degree is from the states, so I can’t give you much advice.
Justin Thomas
>210-200 km/h through 60 km/h sign
where you live?? id go to jail over that. nevermind losing my license. fucking moron
Michael Allen
In USA you can be arrested for going 30 over speed limit
Daniel Anderson
Why the fuck do you think he took your licence. You were going 140km/h over the fucking speed limit. You should be happy you werent jailed you huge faggot
Kayden Campbell
Why? On principle, If he’s not a risk to himself or others why punish, especially this harshly.
Honestly if your ever at fault for an accident you should have your license revoked, not because your driving is to much for others even though your safer than most mongoloids that got their license from a Cracker Jack box apparently.
Jaxon Lee
>130mph in a 35mph zone >not a risk bruh...
Oliver Morris
>speeding through a redligh >pretty "safe" driver You are a danger to yourself and others. Why aren't you in either jail or a psychiatric ward? Take a bus, ride a bike, call an Uber, fucking WALK TO WORK. Suffer you pathetic antisocial looser.
Julian Ramirez
>I know I was in the wrong, but 5 fucking years?!
Scum like you should be hanged based on attitude and world view alone.
You are the reason I am tempted to rig ar15s and DIY caltrops to my fucking car.
How god damned hard is it to follow basic fucking rules? Like 5% of roads have speed limits that are actually too low and thats because they expect people to average 10 over. If you had your license suspended you were doing > 20 over i.e. reckless. You deserve this shit cunt and I am very glad that cop fucked you.
Lincoln Morgan
There is a little law called reckless endangerment. Its when you pose a significant rick to yourself and those around you. A great example of that is going 140 km/h over the speed limit in what i presume to be a residential area due to the speed limit and blowing a red light. Play stupid games, win stupid rewards
Kevin Campbell
I mean I got a mandatory date in court, but where does the 5 years comes from? From what I know police can't make up random years your license is revoked for on the spot... unless he was guessing?! Either way I was not getting that card back.
Sweden, but I'm from Norway
Charles Phillips
what country?
Christian Taylor
Listen op if you go to court over this you are likely to have jail time served. If you don't want to go to prison I would recommend that you learn to start walking
Jacob Morales
Cops are not judges as much as they like to pretend they are.
Oliver Lee
GET A LAWYER THAT IS FAMOUS FOR GETTING SENTENCING DOWN. how many more infractions or moving violations do you have? one red light doesnt get your shit pulled. you sound like a fucking dimwit
Noah Rogers
You are full of shit if you claim you stop at every redlight in the middle of the night and wait at every stop sign when there is NO ONE around! no one fucking does that. sure I was going fast, but still, same shit. Get off your high horse, faggot.
Kevin Myers
Get a lawyer but yea reckless driving is like 6 months they'll take it not 5 years lol
Nolan Ross
What the fuck are you on about, why the fuck wouldn't you stop at every light and stop sign. If you don't shit like this happens. Thousands of people die because of people like you, and yet you claim to be the wronged party here
Leo Garcia
Plenty of places that are 35 that aren’t residential, assume harder faggot.
Kayden Williams
>150km/h over the limit >running a read light
I do not mind if OP risks his own life - can do that any time on the track. Driving like that in most likely a residential area is just reckless and OP got lucky losing his license was the only thing that happened
I am not the one on the horse, but I am stopping at redlights even on bike
Dylan Lopez
Why do you assume it’s residential? Literally no indication by op, plenty of backroads are 35.
Elijah Collins
>Scum like you should be hanged based on attitude and world view alone.
YEAH
Christopher Robinson
>speeding through a redlight in the early morning hours with not another soul in sight, except a policevan Yeah not a soul. dumb fag
Colton Brown
Where lmao. 35 is a school zone speed here my fag. So where were you caught
Mason Sullivan
I call bs, no one in their right mind stops at a stop sign on a bicycle if there’s no traffic, I’ve done that in front of cops on the side of the road, they don’t even blink an eye.
Parker Diaz
What fucking cucked back roads do you have. All our backroads are 80. Anyways you're still retarded and i hope you go to jail
Gavin Hill
redlights
Jason Reyes
Anyone who had used their car or driven a company vehicle for work understands there are consequences to breaking rules of the road. But you are magically exempt for what reason? You can go not just double but over triple the limit while running a red light? Do you understand empathy? How would you feel if a careless driver killed your mother/wife/daughter? You are the reason police take drivers licenses.
Wyatt Turner
you're a retard
Henry Bennett
>210-200 km/h through 60 km/h sign bad luck ali
Jace Gonzalez
Not OP faggot, do you just assume all facts?
Plenty of backroads and unimproved roads are 35. What school zone isn’t 10~20mph? I’m calling bs
Unless you live in Texas, all roads there are fucking 55+ even if there shit from my week there
Matthew White
Still not op
Gavin Howard
Same thing bro
Isaac Morris
you gotta suck off the queen
Dominic Peterson
what shithole country do you live in?
Angel Clark
I do this all the time, if it's dark out take ur plates off dumbass. If you pass a speed trap just gun it, by the time they get their ass in the car you are long gone, just hide somewhere local, once just pulled in a garage, put the plates back on then walked home. They arrested me but had no proof so i got let go.
Angel King
Im Canadian you absolute retard. Any road here that is not in a city center is 80km/h unless otherwise posted. Our school zones are 30-40km/h
Chase Evans
As an attorney, this makes no sense. That being said, get an attorney if you're worried about it.
Mason Hall
Since when is this? I’ve always stopped at red lights or stop signs. Maybe I won’t stop 100% at a stop sign but I’ve never just blown right through them. You sounds like an idiot / piece of shit
Matthew White
Also miles per hour, kek you must be an ameritard. Im sorry but i along side the rest of the world use the metric system.
Chase Baker
Amerifat residing in Toronto, can verify >Unmarked roads are 50KM >City street vary from 20-60KM, based on residential density/schools/churches/etc >Highways are 90-100KM >Average 'country' road is 70-90KM
For easy conversion: 100KM approximately equals 65MPH. Slightly more than half.
Landon King
Op is human trash.
Evan Baker
In my experience driving around in Austria, Italy, Slovenia and the Balkans speed limits coupled with traffic lights usually means there is shit that needs serious control at that spot.
Roads with just an exit or the like with nothing else for hundreds of meters before/after usually just mean a reduction to 50/60/70 and then you are free to go again the usual 90/100.
Inner-city in most european countries the limit is around 50/70
Jeremiah Myers
ALWAYS APPEAL TICKETS THE RESULT IS ALWAYS LESS PUNITIVE THAN ACTUALLY PAYING
Liam Sanchez
All pussies who whine on Yea Forums... Eat my nuts
Thomas Wood
idk where you live doe
Brody Gray
I'm pretty sure the cop that op has been insulting actually saved his ass, he would die pretty fast running 200+ kmph on 60kmph designed streets
Oliver Cook
Thanks user. Appreciate the hand
William Rogers
You're in Europe, cops don't even have pepper spray (assuming you're in the UK). Just run next time, cuck. I don't understand how crime isn't rampant over there. Scared you're gonna get hit by a stick?
Eli Perry
>man pointing gun at traffic.
Camden Brown
So 5 fucking years is justified?! Are you all on crack?!?
Carter Lee
Also Canadian, you're definitely mentally challenged
Jackson Parker
Look OP I'm gonna tell you something then I'm gonna level with you
I lost my license about 10 years ago due to a seat belt violation with my roommate (we got it at the same time and so I gave him the money to pay mine while he was paying his and instead of paying mine he bought a handle of rum and never told me) so once I moved to Kentucky from Indiana I drove on it without knowing my ticket was never paid off they decided to suspend my license after about 8 months (I was young and didn't give a fuck) so after living in KY for a year I decided to travel around finding work and driving like a normal person I haven't gotten in a accident or been caught speeding but that's just because fate has smiled upon me for the most part but saying that(or typing that) I must say if you're gonna drive with no license I must say right now ALWAYS make sure your car is in working order (no burned out bulbs on license plate turn signals working these are biggies!) If you have friends make sure that that have a license when they are in the car with you because if you do get pulled over you can feign innocence and say you didn't know because you have a new address and didn't get the mail telling you that it's suspended. I got pulled over on a night that it was snowing BAD and the only reason was my license plate light burned out on the way home from work and this cop pulled me over and I feigned innocent and said I had just paid like 600$ to get everything in order the day before and I was "told" that my state ID would suffice until I got the okay to get my new license the officer let me off with a warning and said to get it in order but honestly I could have lost my car and the random paraphernalia I had but instead I got to drive home and get high.
That being said please make sure before you drive you act like a paranoid person and check your everything and drive the limit and act like based God is watching you and you'll do fine. Please don't get caught user
Jayden Flores
Where in Canada faggot
Justin Roberts
What Canadian uses mph. Also what speeds do you drive at then, because for me and i pass alot of cops on my way to work every single day, its 100 on the highway. 80 on the grid. 50 on the main streets in town. 40 and 30 respectively in residential areas
Hunter Foster
You went 140kmh over the speedlimit at the of the day, you should be greatful youre not sleepin in a cell tonight
Gabriel Sullivan
This is the biggest load of shit ever. I once got 4 tickets in year and it still wasn't suspended. Running one red light isn't a 5 years suspension. Learn to lie better fucking retard.
Isaac Scott
>nothing better to do buttmad at being caught being an idiot
