Long story short, 89/60...it was 12:40am very tired (using poor judgement), highway was clear (i-95 in Woodbridge) and just wanted to get home asap...first offense.

Please keep the "well you should have gone the speed limit dumass" posts out of this thread...I'm aware of that and people that know me...know I drive slow most of the time.

Just wanted to know if anyone can suggest a good lawyer....or if I even need one.


TIA

 

what were u charged with?

 

reckless driving (89 in 60) in the highway safety corridor zone (literally 1 mile before it was over).

I'm aware that fines are doubled in that zone...and I'm ok with that...just want to keep the license.

 

Joseph W. Thelin (703)385-2880 has an office in both pw and fairfax. awesome guy.

 

Thank you....I will be making a call asap.

 

not the one i had, god he fucking sucked. he kept me out of jail, but i couldve did that. shit

 

Do you remember the lawyer's name?

 

no i dont, but i remember his offic location was right behind the shell at 95/123

 

I'm starting to get the thought that VA police consists of a department that survives by the work of fucking fundraisers, next thing you know they lock you up for heterosexual concentual sodiumy fucking peeping toms...attempt at comedic relif .

 

While your trying to make a joke, VA used to have a law on the books prohibiting an unmarried man and woman from having consensual sex. While the last person to be prosecuted for such an offense was in like 1847, the VA Supreme court didn't declare the law unconstitutional and remove it until January 2005.

I imagine alot of people on this board are guilty of the above law several times over before it got removed off the books.

As for the original poster, good move on getting a lawyer. I imagine that you will get little, if any mercy from the court for commiting that offense in a Highway Safety Corridor. Even with a lawyer, bank on at least some type of license suspension in addition to a stiff fine.
