oh fuckz, man If i only knew, I hope I'd get to be on tv like OJ.

 

Hide away lps work bro they work

 

The whole 'Calibration' defense doesn't work anymore, they calibrate the units before and after each shift like clockwork. People need to learn to get over it; on top of that most prosecutors bring it up before the court anyway.
I thought they made the max 12 months suspended license.


My advice OP, talk to the commonwealths attorney about pleading guilty to speeding 15 over, and it dropped for taking driver improvement. Stating that you sped up to pass another vehicle will only made you look bad to the judge. He will simply tell you that slowing down and getting behind the car would have been safer and saved you a ticket. Good luck!

 

Heh military cop cars aren't lol barely have enough money for oil changes

 

199 is a 60mph zone there..........

Or were you on the Busch Gardens end of 199? Both ends are in York County.

Either way, I would just stress the fact you don't have a record. You are a good student, ask the court to put you on probation for 6months in return for dropping the charge. Getting a lawyer wouldn't hurt, you are facing a maximum of 1 year in jail and or a $2500 fine...

Last person I saw get a reckless, even without a record, got 10 days in jail. He was in his military uniform and asked if he could take a driver's improvement class, the judge responded with, "I don't think that'll do you any good."

Don't seem high and mighty. Make it sound like you learned your lesson and that your parents are giving you more hell than jail would be. Stuff like that should help. Last time I got a reckless I told them it could prevent me from commissioning in the military and it was reduced to improper equipment or something like that, but that judge was throwing things out right and left. I've never seen a judge that lenient before.

 

Nope, still 6 months.

 

i love when judges don't know the law.

Maybe that area sucks balls, very few people actually get inherently fucked in CC court for reckless.

 

LOL. I double checked just to be sure, still 6 http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp...0+cod+46.2-392

Circuit and District are two different animals. I've heard a jury in Charles City will throw the book at you.

 

I think the cop may try to prove the fact that you knew you were speeding (if your GPS tells you when you do 63 and you are in a 55 zone) and you selfishly sped up instead of falling in behind him. Which makes you an ignorant ass anyways.

 

Norment has done work for me, and my family, yea he's got enough sources of income coming in. Just the fact he's co-owner of Grafton dodge can help just because he won't have to technically buy a car. That's how my family knows him since my grandpa used to work at Oyster Point Doge while Norment was also a co-owner. He used to be co-owner of Kaufman & Canoles but now he's just a lawyer. That and to add from W&M and the Senate.

But he got me out of a lot of shit earlier this year... which was stupid to begin with.

yea it was by BG and Water Country.

I'm already going to take a drivers improvement class, I'm going to explain how I learned my lesson. But I also don't want to make it seem like I knew I was driving really fast, because really, I didn't know. I sped up a little, got to where I could pass the car to the right of me, let off the gas, than passed the car. If I was past 75mph it probably was only for a second or two.

Also what did he have to do to get 10 days in jail? I know a few people that have gotten reckless and all of them got dropped after a probationary period, drivers improvement, and no lawyers.

Yes, I'm trying to get at the worse... But I can't really deny what happened though. That's why I put before learned to just slow down and get behind the car or merge in the right lane far in advance. Even though that's what I wanted to do but their was a car behind that car and i wouldn't of made the exit by the time i got behind the car. Also I can't hide the fact I was speeding. The radar got me, that's why I'm in court. I also wanted to not the fact i was flying down the road going 90mph.

An Improper Driving to me is way better than reckless.
