Airplane ticketing drivers getting more prevalent

Recently in the last 2-3 years, at least on Florida hwys, airplane traffic monitoring is getting more lucrative. It is like a growing cancer which is tough to beat. CB's are useless except maybe for truckers. Planes are now targeting those cars getting a bit close to those-cars that will not move from the left lane, regardless. Then when all attempts fail, the car behind the slow left-laner will dart around the right lane and speed up to pass. Now the airplane copper signals two tickets, one for following to close and one for speeding.

Be that as it may, I am sure Porsche drivers have gotten tickets while on trips. There are attorney(s) claiming they can assist in these ticket-trials reducing penalities and too that the driver doesn't need to travel hundreds of miles for a court appearance.
Questions: Can any Porsche drivers attest to the fact that these attorney(s) can do what they say, that is, this process is not a gimic? And too, provide an attorney's name that they have used with some success? thanks.

I havent gotten too many out of state tickets, but certainly in NY whenever I get any kind of traffic violation that involves points I always goto Jeffrey Ziff and hes been pretty successful in getting a few dismissed.

My brother recently got a reckless driving ticket, where a cop actually went the wrong way down a one-way street and gave him a ticket. The attorney got it dismissed.

I think its definitely worth the money if you find the right guy.

I paid an attorney in NC, and he really didn't do much for me. He kept me from getting points on my license, but it still showed up on my record and jacked the insurance rates.

It was for speeding and following too closely, even though the car I was "following too closely" was BEHIND me and was never in front of me.

This is the kind of thing, that is, pay a bunch of money to an attorney, and come out worse or maybe about the same than if you would have taken the punch and gone to school to remove the points. There is a lot of bragging about these attorneys and how they seem to do well for truck drivers, but one never knows how much fact those stories really are. One thing for sure, those white lines are your only defense against tickets, and the plane pilots love spotting easily spotable Porsches.

^^better yet, lets get medvedev to outsource us some of his ICBM's. We can just have him launch those at the planes overhead. They can only go about mach 1.5, so that might take too long.

MIRV's?

SAM's are a good thought, but i'd imagine they're quite heavy. Will throw off the weight distribution in the 997.

Planes time your speed between the infamous white lines. Then 10-20 miles down the road where surface roads have access to expressways, there comes a state trouper. Usually there are 4-5 trouper cars waiting. The truckers know, but it is difficult to get information from truckers on CB. They all seem to have certain channels that non-truckers can't seem to find. I have tried with a CB and a police scanner, both are useless, the only defense is to respect/honor those white line.

Point A to B ticketing has been around for years . It's usually done in daylight and one can see the white lines . Camera ticketing also exists at toll booths and I'm surprised it hasn't reached into the moving violations area .

Bottom line -- Public roads have rules and high speed driving is safest and acceptable on the track .

The airplane clocks the speed from the sky and a large presense of troopers await the speeding driver .

No cars travel faster than radio.

HAHAHAHAHA

i'm american, born and bred, but that is ****ing faschist.

Here in ontario, you can only be booked for speeding at an instantaneous speed, they have to catch you in the act of speeding, they can't say you travelled X amount of distance in Y amount of time and since X/Y = > the limit, you were speeding.

we do have a law now that if you are caught speeding doing 50 over the limit (50KM over, limit on highways is 100km/h(~66mph), meaning if you're going ~90 or so you fall under this law) the POLICE OFFICER can suspend your licence and impound your car at the side of the road. Without trial. And you can't appeal the officer's decision.

But this is ****ing canada, i expected that kind of authoritarian socialist bull**** here, knowing they do that back home makes me sad

I can't wait to get some cherries behind me going 50 over. I ALREADY lost my licence and car, so wtf is the point of pulling over? its gonna be a fun summer

uh buddy,
i suggest you slow it down too, metro just got a fixed wing and durham has one too (or was it peel....in any case it nailed my friend a few years back).

Also, time/speed/distance ticketing has been around forever...VASCAR anyone?

were you on gtcars/TSR ?

No one is talking about highspeed driving. or breaking rules Only driving around one of these slow left lane drivers who has been keeping pace with a right lane-truck for a couple miles. Often it takes some mild acceleration just to get around the turkey. Why those slow turkeys don't stay in the right hand lane is a mystery. I have heard from some that they like to get drivers a bit aggravated that seem in a hurry. These slow-driving trouble-making turkeys never get ticketed.

Exactly, and these people are just as a big problem as people who speed excessively.

Speeding is an everyday expected point of less, whether +5 or 50 over. (I am not condoning speeding)...and the passing lane is designated for faster traffic. People who are traveling slower than the average speed of traffic and not being courteous to passing drivers should be held accountable for their actions as well.

There is a guy driving a 1997 Mustang somewhere in my area that has "Slower Traffic MOVE OVER" as a large front window decal. I love it!
