    This is a good reminder to never be in a hurry. You’re probably going to be looking for a job so get that load delivered and get in a good location for an MC that will accept a reckless driving. Maybe around Chicago. They going to cancel your plate and all that so…

    11 over in Virginia Im fairly sure is reckless driving. In a personal vehicle it is. Id imagine its the same in a CMV. Every day some fool blows past me in a construction zone. I understand a speeding ticket can happen to anyone but its hard to sympathize. Pay whatever it takes to fight that ticket. Probably best if its a lawyer thats local to the jurisdiction the court will be in.

    This was 16 MPH over. Im pretty sure you’d be in the hot seat in any state. I get cruising with the flow of traffic or 5-7 MPH over on your own but 16 over? Come on man.

    I live in Virginia and I know for a fact that is not true. NOWHERE in Virginia title 46.2 Article 7 does it say that! As I said about Tenn and Ga. The difference between speeding and reckless is not just the speed. It is also where and under what conditions. Cops have wide latitudes under almost every state law in this area.

    You were caught being a ###, pay it, learn from it and move on. Don't Blame the cop because you were speeding. The Lebec judge is not likely to cut you any slack. From Wheeler Ridge to Castaic is a maximum enforcement zone. Get a lawyer and open your wallet.

    He mentions a lease in his post. Is this a lease with a mega? Or is it just a company your leased too?

    Isn't there signs on the interstate saying 10 and above is reckless driving?
