Be happy you are not from Virginia, as I believe the new state laws would require a $1000 fine on top of what you have to pay if you were a state resident. I believe we have a road construction funding problem here in my fine state, and this is the state's way of getting cash.

I'd fight it.. since I-75 doesn't go through Virginia at any point.

[tarheeljks]

i know that they love raping out of state drivers for traffic violations.

[wiper]

yeah, my girlfriend was saying that if i got caught doing the same speed here in ohio, it'd probably be $200ish...

*shrug*

i'm just glad it wasn't $1,471...

[AggieAce]

next time do 99 obv. get your money's worth

[lefunque]

Sorry to have seen this thread so late, but I had a similar experience in VA and managed to get it reduced to speeding without lawyer intervention. Something the staties will not tell you, is that spedometers can be miscalibrated by a few MPH especially on older vehicles. If you go to a garage which can measure how inaccurate yours is, they will bring down your recorded speed to match.

Maybe it's not too late to appeal?

quick update, in case anyone cares: just got the ticket in the mail today...i was convicted of reckless driving, and owe a fine of $471, to be paid before July 16, or else my license will be suspended and/or jailtime and/or reinstatement fees...

fwiw, i never sent a letter or anything, just the ticket in an envelope...

*shrug*

kinda expensive, but then, from what everyone has said, that's Virginia...

In regards to the road construction VA was originally going to tack on an extra 75.00 on each driver's annual registration. Only instead they decided to charge only "aggressive" drivers. Which means all moving violations went through the roof! Be careful BBV.

i thought in VA it was 20 over the speed limit is reckless driving and over 100 is intent to kill... i got caught by a "statie" goin 84 in a 60 but he let me off the hook without a warning (holla!). i doubt u will get the maximum. what road where you on? 95?

[/ QUOTE ]

BTW you were going about 95. You were lucky as balls the guy caught you doing only 84.
