70 in a 55, fifteen years clean out the window

Had a ticket like that in my pickup years ago and was a Virginia resident as well, went to court with my clean driving record and a letter stating my speedometer was off. Judge had me take a DD course and told me no tickets in his count for a year and nothing would show.

Did as he said and never did show up, it is worth the time if you can and to be honest I would not say nothing to the court system until the court date.

Lawyer yes, court system no.

 

My experience with tickets I that all the DA cares about is collecting money...so they usually have no problem changing the ticket to somthing that won't go on your MVR...usually for a little more than the cost of the ticket. Its a legal shakedown where everybody wins

 

Thats sucks, if you were going down a steep grade you could try to plea it down to a coasting violation, still have to pay the fine but no points on driving record. Have to go to court on it and the issueing officer has to agree to it, the judge wont do it

 

Not true at all . An attorney can settle with the prosecutor before the court date and the issuing officer has nothing to say about it . Been there , done that .

 

Tell them it was your driving Batchelor party
Getting it out of your system before jumping back in a truck.
Kidding of course..
Let us know how it turns out for you.

 

Be sure that you have reported this pending charge to your prospective employer, as not reporting it may be cause for them to terminate employment if and when it shows up on your record.

 

how is 70mph in a big truck a high rate of speed? so what i am deriving from your comment is that even if the posted limit is 70,if driver is doing 70 in a big truck,that driver is driving at a high rate of speed?
