Can they take your bike if you were doing 30+ the speed limit? Just wondering cause I got caught by a stinking airplane.

 

Depends on how long they were watching you, and how crazy you were riding... usually 25+ is reckless. It also depends on where you were doing this (highway, side streets, crowded streets, school zones)

Now, if you were weaving in and out of traffic doing 30-40 over the speed limit through a construction zone your bike is impounded and your in jail for the night haha. But if it was on the freeway, and not a lot of traffic than usually a ticket will do them just fine. Its all gonna depend on the scenario and the cops mood about the subject.

 

I would consult with an attorney about your states laws/penalties/fines/jail/impound and situation.

 

you got busted

 

Im from VA.... I know those signs are everywhere on the freeways but never belive them! Now I DO!!!

 

It's pretty tough to confiscate a motor vehicle unless it was used in the commission of a felony (real hard)or that the vehicle was purchased from monies obtained in a felony (easier).

 

Believe it....... I had an enjoyable day in the plane just last week *Wink* Man I love Vascar!!!


Oh and BTW, I cant speak for other states but in Va, I wont take your bike for 30+ over.. Hell I wont take your bike for 40-50+ over.... however you can expect jail time when you come to court.

 

I know they can take your car when you double the speed limit (no it hasn't happened to me )

what kind of day was it? Was the traffic busy to where you can fight it or at least say you were going with the flow of traffic? dunno just my two cents

 

Well the kicker is I was going with traffic (I was passing people though). The only thing is I was on the interstate I-4 through Orlando and the speed limit is 50mph which is BS to begin with. I thought everything was 70 (which is what I told the trooper that stopped me).
I was speeding but not as bad as they would believe. The whole ticket thing only took like five minutes and he sent me on my way. Said I had a court date.

My record was spotless before this thing, I just don't want the points.

 

Get a lawyer, it will pay off in the end and hopefully ease your mind.
