uhh...you do realize that VT_453 is a donut cruncher....i mean police officer? (sorry J...i had to )

it is purely up to the discretion of the judge on this.....but it does depend on what he wrote him for, wreckless or such. but having additional tickets on record doesnt help.....

I understand where yer comin' from. I got a speeding ticket on 5-81 by a state trooper who was in the median at nite time, he was hard as hell to see, i just went right on by going 70. Well at court i wasnt offered DIP class, so i fought it like hell b/c i didnt want that on my record, keep in mind this was my first offense. So it ended up in some higher court other than traffic court, and i asked for DIP class and i got it, soo shoot for that if any thing else!!

Where does the safety zone end on 81? If you were in the safety zone I would say your screwed, but that zone may end at Christiansburg.

Safety zone is from Ironto to Roanoke. Well, actually closer to Salem than Roanoke. Suspended license isn't the worst thing in the world. I had a friend that drove on suspended license for a while, he was just really careful and didn't do anything stupid. Just be sure not to pass the same trooper. If it was Eddie Bowen, I can tell him to tell the judge to go easy on you, if not, good luck.
