Nah , I had priors on my record but from years back... The problem was in my situation , 14 bikes at frontage , everyone got away except me cause i got ran off the road into the bushes .. I didnt even have a chance to run.. But they origionally sited me for wreckless driving , fleeing and eluding , and wreckless endangerment or something along those lines... My lawyer got the 2nd 2 dropped , and the judge decided to change it to exhibition of speed on my first hearing.. My second appearence in court , my lawyer got it back to a wreckless driving with license reinstatement...
Exhibition of speed states
Possible penalties of
no less then 500 but no more then 1000$ fine
potential loss of driving privelages for up to a year/hardship based upon court approval
Up to 6 months imprisonment.
So needless to say , it coems down to the cop and the judge ..
I got off with my 500$ court cost and my 500 in lawyers fees...
I got lucky... my friend spent 4 days in jail for the same thing... Wheeling on bayside tho.
