My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Oregon
My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: Oregon.
I got a ticket for two offences at the same time. Any advice /help is greatly recommended.
I dont live in Oregon. I have VA licence. I am travelling from WA to CA.
But I got a ticket in Oregon.
I got a ticket with two offences ( and two base fines ) on the same occasion.
Offence 1 # 811.111- $287 This is my first ticket. Speeding.
I am travelling from Seattle to bay area. So the max speed on the road was 65.
The traffic was flowing at 70. I am also going at 70. But suddenly the max speed reduced to 60. And exactly at that time, due to application of brake,
i lost control on cruise control and it seems like i speeded to 80 ( from 70) for 30 seconds.
Exacly at that time, police seemed to see me. He said iam going at 81 where I should go at 60 and gave me a speeding ticket of $287.
Offence 2# 811.145- $287 When i saw the police , i felt bit nervious as it is first time and as there is ample space
on left side of left most lane on the high way, intead of taking to right side, i tool extreme left giving complete way to all lanes and stopped my vehicle.
For this also i was charged $287. I am a decent careful driver. I used to drive in Seattle, WA. I was always careful . So never got a ticket. This
is my first long drive from seattle to bay area. I hold licence form VA. I moved to CA. I want to know if there is any way of reducing the fine or
not adding points to my insurance.
My problem:
Now that I am in CA, I cannot attend for trail in OR.
My main problem is to avoid getting points on my record. This is my first ticket with two offences. I have VA driving licence.
If you think, as this was the first time i received a ticket, driving class may help, how can request to take a driving class help as i dont drive in OR and the incident happened in OR on my way to CA.
Should i contact any attorney and fight or send a plea through mail describing my situation ?
