Re: sub section 1180B

The penalty you could receive for speeding depends on how fast you are going.

going 65 miles per hour over the speed limit can be construed as reckless driving. It doesn't have to be written as reckless driving on the ticket. the department of motor vehicles considers the miles per hour traveled over 55 mph

while not being a misdemeanor it could give the DMV the right to restrict or revolt your license.

I would suggest that you get a lawyer right away.

You do need a lawyer. This is an 11-point ticket and could result in you losing your license (even if you have an otherwise clean record). Feel free to call us to discuss @2126837373.
