Then I heard the K band go off. So i hit the brakes and slow back down to the speed limit. I didn't see any cruisers so i continued on my way. After the lane opened back up to two lanes I see Mr. BlacksburgPD on his motorcycle behind me with the red and blues flashing. 49/35. You guys think I should just pay or go to court and see what the judge has to offer? I have a perfect record and a "good reason" for why I did what I did. Any help would be appreciated greatly.
u were going 14 over to pass a dude? Don't think it's going to help...really depends on the judge.. I've been to court a lot..haha some judges are laid back..some are total assholes and would say you know the speed limit..if you couldn't pass him doing the speed limit you should have gone behind him..
In botetourt I got a ticket for 13 over..I was in my neon and the damn speedo went out on the way to the store.. on my way home I got pulled over.. Went to court with a slip saying my speedo was broken.. judge said I have been driving long enough to know I was speeding.. (I had been driving for 5 months)
