Both of u guys need girlfriends or a hobby or somethin. Seriously dudes. RELAX.

DUDE WHO GOT THE TICKET... SH1T HAPPENS. NO ONE IS PERFECT.
SO NO 1 HAS THE RIGHT TO BE SELF RIGHTEOUS EXCEPT THE MAN UPSTAIRS N HIS SON WHO DIED FOR OUR SINS.
SECONDLY. U BOUGHT A SPORTS CAR. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS EVERY NOW AND AGAIN.
MY ADVICE, TRY FOR A DEFERRAL OR TAKE THE DEFENSIVE DRIVING COURSE IF OFFERED AS A RESOLUTION.
LASTLY BRUH! BUY YOURSELF TOP SELECT RADAR FROM ESCORT AND OR VALENTINE ONE.
I ALSO RECOMMEND A JAMMER. THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE U WON'T GET PINCHED BUT,
BUT IT WILL REDUCE YOUR CHANCES BY 80% THIS $800-1500 INVESTMENT WILL SAVE U BUNDLES LATER.
N don't stress these negatives in the forum always tag teamin on sum1 who is askin for help. Don't justify to or respond to them. Or they go on and on and on and on about how u bad of a person u r for speeding. Lol what a life to live? Lmao!

People speed once in a while, usually between 5-15 over. But double the limit in a 55? C'mon.

Tell the clerk magistrate or judge what happened. Be honest and tell him/her that you believe the fine is excessive and that you cannot afford to pay it. Explain that you are not denying responsibility, but you do not have the financial means to pay a fine that high. Most likely, your fine will be substantially reduced, and the issuing officer will not object to it. Good luck!"

This guy isn't driving a bucket, this is a relatively new $35k sports car, and he was doing double the speed limit. I honestly don't think the judge will fall for the BS and it will only make it worse, and if you don't have a lawyer to help reduce the charges and fines, he might keep the fine as it is, seeing as how you shouldn't do the crime if you can't do the time.

That's like robbing a bank, and telling the judge you don't have that many years left to live at the age of 30, and to please reduce the sentence.

Supra: You received community service? Did you have a lawyer with you, or points on the license?

I dunno man. I had to sit in traffic court for a couple hours waiting on my chance to argue a ticket. Everyone but 1 person who asked for a reduction got it. The only guy who didn't was doing over 150 on a bike, and being very argumentative with the officer in the court.

VA is tough, but it really depends on the county. In my misspent youth, I got a reckless driving ticket Fairfax county, which is has to be the toughest. I was going 92 in 55. I didn’t take it very seriously. My license was suspended at first, I then appealed and ended up w/a restricted license for 6 mos.

Judges want to see you pay, as in pay for a lawyer. Judges were once lawyers. My lawyer was around $800, the actual fine for the violation was only $160 or so.

Don’t fool yourself, this is a big deal. Get a layer. The cop will show up. Your previous tickets matter. Take a defensive driving course. Get you speedometer calibrated, then be prepared to have you *** handed to you. I pled no contest w/an explanation on my first time around, I plea-bargained on my appeal. You never know how it will end up, but prepare yourself for the worst and hope for the best.

Good luck.

Agreed that the cop will show up. You would have a chance if this was a small ticket, but not for this one. Hopefully you were really cool toward the cop, because that could make a difference in court.
dps, you think calibrating the speedo will matter for a 110mph ticket?

Let's hope his judge is having a good day then.

Research VA law.....its one of the few states left that radar is illegal. I understand why you suggested it but he doesnt need more fines on top of the speeding ticket. Heh...after the court date, he wont need one anyways.....no license most likely. (Sorry had to go there and be honest)

dpspc11 · 09-26-2009, 12:19 PM

When I was waiting for my case people were dropping like flies. People were lying and acting oblivious to their violations had the book thrown at them. Judges won't fall for that stuff. People that pled no contest w/clean records almost always walked w/just a minimal fine.

dainedazz · 09-26-2009, 12:21 PM

I guess we all learn from our own mistakes

from relationships to our trials in life to minor court cases like these

after i was off the hook with my case, i hardly hop on the fast lane. i'd hop on the fast lane only to pass someone thats going unreasonably slow for who knows why & to avoid big trucks (hate em!) but yeah basically if the speed limit is 60, best believe im doing 55 now lol

GOOD LUCK.
