Yep, PSM and Jynx are right. If you dont have a good lawyer then you are ******!!! It will definetely cost a good chunk of change to get a good lawyer but its worth it. Judges frown on 17 year olds who get busted for reckless driving. Good luck dude, you may need it.

I feel for you man, but that really is bad decision making. Its like selling crack in front of police station. There are always tons cops at ANY beach. GL man, sucks what happened to you, but be more mature about where and what you do with your car.

owwwwy. my friend got tagged with an 'exhibition driving' ticket the other day when he and I went drifting. it was 160 dollars or something, but he got it down to 110. still a LOT if you ask me. and then my smart *** brother almost asked the cop 'how is it exhibition driving, nobody is watching?'
that would have been funny. but the cop did ask my friend if he thought he was being cool, and friend said 'no, actually, that one kind of sucked. I've done better.' good luck with that though, cause I'm sure here in MN if you get any serious driving violation under age 18, you cant get your full license till you are 21 and you cant have any other violations in between times. its like a 5 year learners permit. hope thats not the case there!
