Oh right, he didn't mention that, or a past history. So they'll definitely stress he isn't a responsible driver then and put the blame on him. This sounds far from clear cut - i would definitely get a lawyer to represent me for this if there's an option to do so. Byron - Never walk into a court room depending on one party to say one thing, or thinking it's gonna go one way because you think what you are saying is right. At least here, they usually fudge through any explanations and really just stick to what the points of law are and whether they were broken, and you really got to watch these kind of things when they say it's a just turn up and you can talk for yourself kinda thing - they have the advantage of knowing the law and you don't so they might get you to say one thing which you don't realise puts you in the doggy poop.radionate said:What about the fact that you didn't have your liscense with you? Or that you had no insurance? Those are major no brainers. That has happened to you before.

Danny said it all over at Tough Pigs. Playing this off with a "golly gosh" attitude is not the way to go at all.
Yes, to a degree, but I made sure to tell the trooper the other driver was speedin'.Luke said:Oh right, he didn't mention that, or a past history. So they'll definitely stress he isn't a responsible driver then and put the blame on him.
Well I talked to the District Attorney the other day, and he told me it won't be that bad and I won't need a lawyer---he even pulled my leg with a joke, lol.Luke said:This sounds far from clear cut - i would definitely get a lawyer to represent me for this if there's an option to do so.

Use caution Byron.Janice & Mokey's Man said:Well I talked to the District Attorney the other day, and he told me it won't be that bad and I won't need a lawyer---he even pulled my leg with a joke, lol.
Oh, I am, thanks. I have people in law enforcement who know stuff like this helpin' me out, and I've told 'em about that in even more detail. So they'll let me know about anything fishy, or what I should/shouldn't do.Super Scooter said:Use caution Byron.
The DA is on the other side though right ? I mean i take it they'd rather you didn't have a lawyer. Take independant advice, although i guess you have with the state trooper, but if anybody even casts the slightest shadow of a doubt and you can afford representation then i would go with a lawyer if you can. I'm guessing these court people mess about the normal people wheras the lawyers have been through it tons of times. As said, just be careful and don't go along with anything unless you are fully aware of everything and it's conotations.Janice & Mokey's Man said:Well I talked to the District Attorney the other day, and he told me it won't be that bad and I won't need a lawyer---he even pulled my leg with a joke, lol.
The other driver was speeding according to *you*. I am certain that the people in the other car will not claim to have been driving too fast, and honestly, how do you know they were speeding anyway? Even a car going the speed limit would seem to be coming at you pretty fast if you were driving in their lane... which by your own admission, you were. Frankly, if you hadn't been in the other lane, speeding or not, there wouldn't have been a collision of any kind.Janice & Mokey's Man said:Yes, to a degree, but I made sure to tell the trooper the other driver was speedin'.
