Its supposed to be in Missouri too, but my laywer makes it all better without my need to go.(BusaBret @ Aug. 22 2007,07:16) Don't know about in Oregon but Alabama all "Reckless" driving tickets are a mandatory court appearance.
WOOOOOOOWWWW !!!!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME ?(craigntx @ Aug. 23 2007,13:31) ya, that guy runnin in phoenix might be charged, or has been charged, because those tv station choppers collided and they croaked.

here yea go i work with a couple other soldiers that are from oregon and they told me if you drive threw oregon and you arent from there then the cops pull you over almost every time they see outsiders. my buddy said when he got stationed down in ft hood texas and switched over and everytime he took a trip home to oregon he has been pulled over for speeding even when he wasnt speeding so he doesnt drive there anymore...(Rockin C Racing @ Aug. 22 2007,09:18) Recently in Oregon a new law was passed that anyone in excess of 100 mph will have an $1100 fine, vehicle impounded, and arrested for reckless driving. Any time you are arrested, you have to appear in court, can't just write a letter.

I was reading down through these posts and wondering when I was gonna see this sage advice!
GET AN ATTORNEY!
Worked wonders for OJ!
Just don't get caught doing it
My buddy called me last night from Lynn County in Oregon. He has been on a bike holiday by himself through the States, and was on his way back through Oregon when he noticed the cherries behind him. He was nailed at 106 mph in a 60 mph.He said they had cuffed him,read him his rights, put in car and went back to the station, and bike towed. Was finger printed, spent some time in the cell...bla bla bla. Finally was released with a court date, and an $1100 fine. *Did I mention he is 45, and grey hair....so he doesn't portray the average squid on a bike in the officers eyes.
His question to me was, he wonders why he now has to go all the way back down to Oregon in October for a court date? He said why not just pay the fine, and be done with it?
Now I know we are all law abiding citizens on here and never speed, but maybe someone can explain his circumstances a little better to me, as our laws are little different here.
Cheers,
Tony
Exactly...100+...unless that cop is driving 600hp engine...he is just wasting his time...
Well, at least now I know to never ever ever go to oregon.
thanks for the heads up.
