Street racing charge

[louie]

lol u bs to them and they find out your screwed, no doubt.

[Nepolian]

well... you break the law, you get caught, you confess, you get charged. simple as that. I doubt the cops would give the smallest piece of ant shite wether they are "good guys" or not.

Maybe if they denied breaking the law and the officers couldnt prove it they couldve gotten away with it

^ Tell it like it is mate

From what I have read, it sounds kinda like racing and it was on the street? really is it not!?

Does it really have to be over 45kph to be street racing?

Anywhooo, end of the day. If you really think you have been hard done by, get yourself a solicitor and take i to court. Just realise that it can go pear shape for you (your friend) as well.

Yes his been told that aswell. Thanks for the quick responses. Ill just pass it on that he should get a good lawyer and fight it even if its a small chance cause the police prosecutor would eat him alive if he doesnt.

let's see what evidence we have here;

-no record of speed
-cop didn't see anything

His evidence is he "heard" them but yet can't prove it was them he heard.
If he saw them doing it, his word will win every time. but hearing it from over a crest? Gtfo

as long as they didnt admit to anything any lawyer who specializes in traffic offenses will have it thrown out of court.

usually sending a summons to appear in court will have them drop it.

His a good guy

What is this supposed to mean?

Anyway, they were speeding, and speeding in tandem "egging each other on", which is more dangerous than regular speeding. When you're concentrating on your friend's car, you're not focusing on the road. It is street racing, whether or not overtaking or a finish line is involved.

They confessed to speeding, despite the lack of evidence. Therefore, they are now considered guilty, despite the lack of radar gun.

Don't break the speed limit on public roads, and you won't get fined/suspended. Tooling around with another car should be kept to the track, not the street. It's that simple.

Yea they did admit to speeding. So they're pretty much stuffed? Is it possible for a lawyer to negotiate it down to a speeding fine or negligent driving?
Whats a summons? Is that when you get the police officer to come to the court house? The police officer said he'd be there.

Well, the guys have been charged and unless the go guilty, everyone will go to court. Given the currently environment in regards to speeding and street racing etc...and the circumstances of this particular story, I'd say the police would be quite happy taking it to court

[TheSaint]

start by trying to negotiate - failing that - ask for an adjournment to get legal advice
at least that will buy you a couple of months to prepare either a guilty plea or take it to trial

[tripleuse]

still dont know why people admit to speeding without evidence, its just asking to get ****ed over.

'Good guys' can still kill people breaking the law, and having a history of speeding and other 'minor traffic offences' won't help, especially after they confessed everything.

Just give them good advice - deal with the consequences and try to be mature enough to understand that the law isn't there to put them down but to protect every other person doing the right thing. There's no excuses and there's no come-back to that kind of reality check.

The only thing they can do is try to have the charges and suspensions reduced (alleged speed etc).
