Research that model then get back at me. Fine ~$100 is better than the fine of the other. I do A LOT of I95 driving North and South and wouldn't go without one anymore.
The kids with the turdboxes would get the $25 ones that don't go off until you're on top of the officer

Obeying the speed limit is much cheaper.

30 over in new kent? Lawyer up ASAP. Best case scenario, they treat it as a speeding ticket. Plead no contest, tell the judge you're sorry, you were just really excited to see your GF.

You think a 95mph summons was written to meet a quota (even though there are no quotas for Troopers) at the end of the month? Do you think it wouldn't have been written at the beginning of the month?
I'm trying to think of an excuse that would get a warning for 95mph, but I'm coming up with nothing.
And how about "I drive a Toyota?"

I lived in New Kent for 20 years. You are screwed. A close friend of mine just so happens to be the Commonwealth Attorney's daughter.

Re: 1st Time Reckless Driving Summons - Need Advice
I was on my way to Va. Beach for a little vacation time with my girlfriend, she flew from Iwakuni, Japan for my bday. I wanted to leave early in the morning to beat any kind of traffic. Around 6:30am, I was traveling down 64 and a state trooper pulls me over near Kent County. He tells me that I was doing 95mph in a 65mph. I have to admit I was speeding but wasnt swerving in and out of traffic, just straight up cruizing lol. I tried to reason with him, saying that I was getting tired from the travel, was in a conversation with my girl and didnt really notice how fast I was going.
This is my first reckless/ticket, driving record is clean as a wistle. I have taken a drivers improvement class, advice from my recruiter. Soo, now Im just worried about the outcome.
By the way, how much would a traffic lawyer cost?

save your cash, first time offense. ask for a court appointed lawyer. Then get it reduced to speeding and take driving school. Pay 100.00 - 250.00 fine depending on your record.
Ask me how I know.

I did take a drivers improvement course and my record is soo uber clean, including criminal if that. Just made a careless mistake. I dont think a court appointed lawyer would actually do there job, right?
Damn this reckless is mind fucking me right now. lol
