Happy Thanksgiving Everyone firstly.
I was driving back home to UCLA today from Lone Pine, CA and I was in Kern County. The roads were empty at it was before 7AM and not a single soul in sight on straight roads. I was being stupid and I should not have been doing this but I was pushing my rental car to the limit, doing more than 110MPH on a 65 Limit zone.
Soon thereafter I saw the siren lights and pulled over. The cop asked me how fast he thought I was going. I said 100. He said 112 and wrote me up for just that, 22348B infraction clocked by radar.
He asked to see my license and registration and I pulled out my International License issued by my home country. He said I had to have a California license and after a little debate he took my license. Just so you know, as long as you are not a resident in CA, DMV allows you to drive in CA with an International License.
He took down my particulars and gave me the citation. I just want to know what my options are right now.
I might want to buy a car in the near future and I dont want a super high price floor for my insurance. I also do not want to drive all the way down from UCLA to the middle of the stupid Mojave desert for a court appearance in the middle of the school week.
I admit it was my fault. But I want to move on and I would never think of doing something like this again - lesson learnt! Please help me [:D]
