Life sucks...big time
I just picked up my new 335i sedan a few days and I already got ticketed for reckless driving. Was going pretty fast. And now will probably get my license suspended for 6 months. Does life suck or what? :mad:
Anyway, it's a Montego Blue with beige leather, premium and cold packages, and Sat/Nav. At least it was fun driving for a few days. I'll try to take some pictures soon and post. That's all I'll have to show for it. It's an awesome car. Intoxicating! I moved up from a 2003 325i to this. |

damn! You had to have been caught going atleast 95mph+ to know you have a good chance of a suspended license. You better lawyer up and get it pleaded down, take a class or something.

To you now, this situation sucks hard, but look at it as a possible blessing. You could die or kill others driving reckless, heck death can even happen when your paying attention. So try to learn from this and drive more responsible when you get to driving again..for real!

That does suck. I agree with HRC, but I won't preach - none among us is immune from the occasional lapse in judgement.

I gotta be honest. A cop can pull you over just because he wants to, and that's the charge he will use. It's one of those blanket charges that doesn't need much evidence in court and it certainly stings.

You should've been adhering to the break-in procedures
Oh, well it happens. Drive carefully next time and good luck with everything. I know our local speed limits/cops are draconian.; Save some of that turbo power for the auto-x and other venues

BK is right - it is a police state here. I was going 82mph on I66 which has a speed limit of 55mph. There was hardly anyone on the road so I thought I'd hit it a bit.
BK- I am making my rounds talking to various lawyers. If you liked your lawyer then yeah, please send me the name. |

I dont know about by you, but for reckless in NJ, you need evidence. You can be going the same speed for both reckless and careless(excess of a speeding ticket) but if theres no other cars on the road its only careless driving.

Slightly OT, but I need to find a track where I can legally open it up, just to get it out of my and my E90's system. I don't want to race anyone, and don't want to wear out my brakes and tires with a bunch of twisties, I just want my car to enjoy very high speed without worry that I'll be pulled over and thrown in the slammer.

That scares the hell outta me. I can't recall a single time of having fired up my E90 335i and not gone at least 82. I don't even shift into 6th until north of that speed. My car regularly sees triple digits on the speedo.
Some of you may think it's nuts, but I don't consider that reckless driving. I have enough track experience to be in the advanced solo run group now. I drive more like a German than an American -- both hands on wheel, elbows bent, focused on the task at hand, scanning ahead and behind for 5-0 and for clueless drivers, radio off, etc. etc. |
