Default reckless ticket question, yes it sucks

Hey guys, just had a quick question following my story here.

I was driving a ZIPCAR from richmond back to dc, and it was friday night, not many cars on 95-N, in the far left lane, doind about 80 with everyone else. Someone behind me was coming up real fast, so i decided to give it some gas and move out the lane, as i did this i got up to around 85, and right at that moment, passed a state trooper in the median.

I saw him pull out, and ofcourse he was coming for me. He pulled me over, (the ZIPCAR that i had was a 5 door Nissan Versa, nothing special, had zipcar written all over it). Came up to the window, gave him the license, didnt say much to me and my girlfriend, then as he walked away said "im pullin you cause you were doin 20 over the speed limit of 65" came back few minutes later with reckless by speed ticket 85/65, caroline county court.

Anyone know what i can expect? whats the deal with these remedial fees? have a pretty clean record, nothing serious, 21 years old... really dont feel bad about the speed i was going, i was one of the slower cars on the highway that night.

i just went to court for a reckless. one of two things will probably happen. with a clean record, u might just have to take driving school and that will keep it off ur record. or if u get a asshole judge, he might lower the charge or he'll pin u with the charge and the remedial fees i got were 1050 bucks. sometimes theyre lower, sometimes higher. it all depends on the judge and the circumstances.

Dude, that is the strech of 95 where they dont fucking play. I dont know why people dont understand the 79 mph rule on 95. I travel to and from dc two times a week at times, and I put my cruise on 79 and pass troopers all day, not once have I or anyone I told this to, got pulled over. They set their radars at 80 for dumbasses like you. Let me guess you got pulled somewhere between the ladysmith and doswell exits right?

Lol, was actually just trying to help you out. That strech of 95 is known to be one of the toughest parts of 95 around VA. The cops will sit on shoulders opposite to the medians, like a 1/4-1/2 mile past the median, they are very very sneaky to get people. And it was going over that 80mph that got you fucked.

should i get a lawyer or something? or can i just go to court and hope they might drop it from a reckless to something a little less full of shit? those remedial fees can lick my nuts, and i'll let the judge know how i feel if they decide to give me any of those....are we retarded to pay those fees or something?

Get a lawyer in that area, who works in that county. Its much easier for them to get stuff lowered, because they probably know the attorneys of the court.

Eh, you can do it, just don't do it in Virginia where they have stupid laws like 20mph over being a Reckless.

So glad to be back in MD, lol.
