It's $100 for radar, plus your speeding ticket, plus whatever else the cop decides to write you for. So the average Z will get written for illegal exhaust, lowering springs, two broken tail lights, and assaulting a police officer.

And I heard a while back that some lawmakers were trying to make radar detectors illegal... that failed. Then some other lawmakers wanted to make a radar ticket, even if you were only speeding under 15 over, reckless.

Should be a $40 ticket. Court cost is $61 if you fight it and lose. ******* Virginia.

Red__Zed · 07-26-2011, 08:17 AM

If you prepay, it's only the $40 though.

m4a1mustang · 07-26-2011, 08:30 AM

OK, but here's the deal:

You WILL lose.

And you'll have to pay the speeding ticket and all of the other tickets they write.

Red__Zed · 07-26-2011, 08:33 AM

Potentially. But you can prepay the radar and it's only $40. They're also probably not running rdd's through skyline anyways. It's only Vsp you have to worry about, and they don't hang on skyline.

Don't think I will be able to make it to this cruise

Any chance these roads are so twisty that only going 35 will actually be fun?
The ticket stuff is ruining some of the fun. Damn fuzz!

Red__Zed · 07-26-2011, 08:47 AM

Skyline is ok at 35-40. The view is fantastic though.

Yeah, you can have a bit of fun even at that speed, and it is some of the greatest views around. Plus we have a few guys running up front as blockers with a variety of donut types

When I got a federal speeding ticket, they made me enter my plea in a seperate room before entering the courtroom, so that I had to commit before I saw whether my officer was there or not.

Tasty donuts, stunning views and hungry cops, it doesn't get any better.

mdztuners · 07-26-2011, 10:10 AM

I gotta be careful, still on PBJ from my last ticket (60 in a 35)

shadoquad · 07-26-2011, 10:16 AM

pbj is awesome. Virginia lacks pbj in favor of calling every driving offense reckless.
