Total Sign Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 cruise at 25? lazy? get an attorney = problem solved. Going rate for a not crazy ticket is 750 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin5s Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 cruise doesn't work at 25... it's a safety thing so that you don't drive through residential zones with your cruise on... it won't turn on til 30... (at least on EVERY car I've owned) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going rate for a not crazy ticket is 750 or so. NO!!! Go to court then see what will happen. If the charges are bad, and you want them reduced, then ask for continuance and tell them you are going to get a lawyer. Trust me on this one, there was a guy who had about 5 tickets and he went in and they took off 4 of the offences w/o an attorny. I paid 750 for a guy i didnt even need at the pre trial(and i had street racing,speeding, lane change,and disobeying road markers, so it prolly wont cost as much as mine did). Dont waiste your money just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(at least on EVERY car I've owned)My 95 Jimmy (w/ electronic cruise) will set a 25MPH, but nothing below that. It's great for going through 25 MPH speed traps. smile.gif I think my car does as well, but it's been so long since I tried setting it at that low of a speed I don't remember for sure. But I'm 100% sure on the Jimmy, as I've done that a number of times on my g/f's campus w/ the cops out and about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 well, i have an 04 wrx, and my cruise is available at 25 mph. maybe lower, thats as low as ive tried it. graemlins/jerkit.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFKINPowerz Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Just pay it. Regardless of how fast your are going the judge is still gonna ask you if you were going over the speed limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
