    Where did you find a 70 mph zone in the Lexington area?

    Had to be on 81 somewhere....

    Reckless driving is a criminal misdemeanor in VA, IIRC.

    When my wife and I are rolling around town and she's driving, I'm gritting my teeth because she typically runs 6-10 over, like most people do.

    When "I'm" doing the driving, it's usually in the far right lane at 5mph under the limit.
    She's gotten used to it after all of these years. I've had to explain it more than a few times that that piece of plastic on my right butt cheek makes our money.
    DON'T TAKE CHANCES.

    I'm not in a hurry... especially off duty

    Good grief where you drive sucks you get out west a ways and you can do 5 over and nobody blinks no matter what you're driving

    I typically keep it within +5, but there’s a country two lane near home posted at 30 mph where speeds reach 45-50 regularly. I get passed on a double yellow all the time there.

    Get a lawyer. Never under any circumstances pay a ticket outright. That's admitting guilt. A ticket it's just a demand you show up to court.

    It's a money game. Hopefully you find a good lawyer that knocks it down to a expensive parking ticket or something with no points etc.

    The govt just wants their money that's why they have these revenue collectors. Give it to them in a smart way (with a lawyer)

    85 mph isn’t going to hurt a car lol.

    I’ve done 95 for #### near a week straight in my 20 year old 4runner out west where they don’t enforce speed limits, it would be kind of hard to anyways seeing as you can see down the road 7 miles... Only thing it hurt was my mpgs.

    Yea 85 is nothing for cars nowadays. I've gone 150+ in a 55 for a few miles.
