    Default Criminal Speeding on Top of a Traffic Violation

    My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: Maine

    [INFO]
    I've made a pair of terribly bad decisions: I've run a red light, and I've been pulled over for criminal speeding.

    I'd like to make a point that I am not 18 yet. I have no excuses for my actions, and accept the punishment and fines for both. These did not occur on the same date, however they are fairly close to each other. I was not arrested, and my 6 months had been up for an extended period of time.

    [QUESTIONS]
    What I'd like to know is, my license will be suspended for the first crime, and for the second, will these suspension times stack on each other?

    (Example): First crime's suspension is for 2 months. Court rules that I be suspended for 2 months for second crime.

    Will this add up to 4 months?

    How will the court feel towards 2 crimes like this?

    Does the state of Maine give any options such as defensive driving courses/community service/essay of safe driving to reduce fine/points added? I've heard that some states have options like these supposedly.

    Also, I've researched this, but as a second citation I'd like to ask what I should do when I go to court. Dress appropriately and appear clean I already know, but what should I say?

    Thank you for helpful replies.

    If you start out your request for information from volunteers by SLAMMING them, you're not likely to get any assistance whatsoever.
    If you don't want an argument, don't incite one.

    I'm not slamming any volunteers on here... I'm just not in the mood to argue... I simply pointed out that I'd 'Please' not be accused of those things. But if it bothers you, I'll delete that part. No hard feelings.

    Can you inform us of what "criminal speed" was and the statue your presumably violated? The red light is not a big issue (I assume a monster lobster was attacking your vehicle forcing you to run it). 2 good legal resources include google scholar and www.lexis.com (free reg. gives you the ability to search from today minus 10yrs in time).
