    No point - the judge would see you.

    Not fair, *555 only got me a bored cop on the phone telling me stop wasting his time.

    Goodness me - hairy bottoms at this hour of the morning! I must go scrub my eyes out while I have my shower!

    I have been known to use *555 on a few occasions and think it's great.

    As for the OP and the ensuing "good story bro" (I won't go looking for the many images that accompany that well-used tag line here); the meaning to written responses can be tricky to negotiate but here's the measuring rod: If someone has really been pissed off by you they will call you all names under the sun plus a few more, and probably include comments about your mother. Oh, and if that doesn't get your fingers typing faster than your accelerated pbm then they'll call your bike a POS. If that hasn't happened then I wouldn't be too concerned that they're out for your blood.

    A cop mate of mine ( I know, I know, but what can you do, he's a good bastard otherwise) said half the reason for the success of the *555 system is that it lets the reporter of the incident vent rather than getting wound up and doing something even more stupid than the original dropkick.

    I do about 50k a year in a tintop and know I would be tempted to execute a few pit maneuvers if it wasn't there

    I think you misunderstand me. To plead a case, is to argue your point. I would argue the point at sentencing, that I was aware of the conditions, I am quite capable of controlling a bike one one wheel, and that I was being a lot safer than someone who accidentally (the most common excuse given to the cops) hoisted the front.

    Depends on the charge. Careless driving? Probably not bother and just pony up the fine. Dangerous driving? Will argue that one every time.

    I don't know you ... so I cannot argue on your abilities. Judges see the highlighted bit on the charge sheet ... the rest is history ...

    Unless you are a professional stunt rider ... a defended court case, on either charge ... is most likely ... not going to end to your advantage.

    Oh shit yeah, get caught, and I'm fucked. I know it.

    I'm just making a half arsed argument to get some bitching going.

    EPIC FAIL!!!

    If you can win on KB then you'll probably be a shoe in for an actual court case.

    KB and Court Case are two subjects that will never marry...seperately however, each deserves a certain amount of scepticism.
    Throw away the Tutu and rise against the conformity....

    In short..I agree with you.
