    So I got a ticket in virgina. 46.2-830 officer wrote it as failure to obey traffic sign. It's a 3 point offense. I was parked on an on ramp from a full rest stop taking my 10 hr. Had already used 2 hrs of pc trying to find parking anyone know lawyers in virgina to help me fight this?

    Not an expert, but didn't know they give points on non-moving violations.

    Not supposed to. But it's how the cop wrote it up. I'm fighting it as far as I can cause I feel the same way how the heck do I get a moving violation while I'm in the sleeper!?

    no because the va trooper wrote it as a civil violation. i was parking on the on ramp just pass the concrete in the gravel. he wrote me as the same thing you got. cost me a $135 total online. but my state see's it as disobeying a official traffice device. va see's it at disobeying a official sign. so its always about what your home state see's it as on your dmv
     
    Wespipes Thanks this.
