Got a 15mph over ticket a couple months ago on Berthods Pass, Grand Co. side. Went to court this morning, got the book thrown at me. $300 fine, 6 points on the record and the kicker... 24 hours community service. I can't get any more violations for three years or I loose my license so ill be at the track more often, riding within the posted limits on the canyon days. No fun at all.

You're allowed 12 points in a year and 18 in 24 months I think. So you're probably not about to lose your license unless the last ticket was recent...
That does suck tho, 6 pts and $300 for a 15mph speeding ticket is ridiculous. Somehow, they just don't like you!

Im an Investigator for a law firm so "lucky" for me I get free rep. My lawyer was totally shocked when I got community service.

It doesn't surprise me in the least. The judicial system in poh-dunk towns like that frown on 'outsiders' coming in with 'outside' representation. If it were me (and it has been before --- believe me) I would hire a lawyer right out of their local yellow pages. Better results almost guaranteed.

I'm not saying that the legal representation in Hot Sulfur Springs is of Ivy League quality. But the fact remains that the judicial system in ALL jurisdictions is a 'good-ol' boy network'. They might be 'clowns' but they are Grand County clowns and most importantly --- THE JUDGE KNOWS THOSE CLOWNS.

That sucks meng. But like Ralph said, your license isn't in serious danger just yet. It's close, but you're not on "zero" just yet.
So was the 6 points a drop, or was that all of them? What a freakin' jerk, if they didn't shave at least a couple off.

I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

Yeah... I guess it should be noted that I got out of a passing on a double yellow ticket. So yes... there is more to the story as some had predicted.

you want to hear about a bad stroke. I got 3 tickets totaling 22 points in one month. Outside of that I've had one ticket for a defective turn signle two years ago and I'm clean going back to 5 years.
If you don't like me I'll shave your cat, steal your extension cords, not limited to your multiple supply outlet adapters and raid your fridge. Please don't let this inhibit you from contacting me, just be mortified;-p
Neil that so sucks!
You got pulled over for that a while ago. Did you get a continuance or did they just set the date way out.
Looks like we are seeing some of the downfalls of our hobby becoming so popular. Unfortunately not all of the riders (s) out there leave a positive face on the sport. These smaller areas are sending the word out. My bet is that even if you went up with a local attourney
I got 1/3 the fine, no comm. serv. and only 6 out of 18 points on my Leadville adventure almost two years ago. I just went up hat in hand talked skiing with the D.A.(almost got it down to 4) and the judge was pretty cool too. Even after I missed my court date and showed up the next day. That was an extra 22 bucks for the bench warrant, boy did I drive the speed limit up there knowing I would have a bench warrant out on me.
See ya on Sat or Sun Morning. My schedule just got changed with the kids so not positive. I can say that IMI is out for this weekend.
Talk to ya later
The older I get the faster I was!
Curious.. how did you get out of that one ?

How many points (and what) was the original ticket written for? As far as I knew, 15MPH over on a standard speeding ticket was only 4 points (20 over is the 6 point cut off).

Neil,
I worked in Winter Park for a couple years and the saying there was "Grand County, come on vacation leave on probation" The police there are very strict about enforcing the laws, especially with outsiders.
Sorry to hear about your license situation, at the same time I'll look forward to seeing you at the track
