Not you dont declare guilt if you sign it....you are simply acknowledging the charges and "Promising" to show up to court on you own accord.

First and foremost, learn how to type correctly. Just a little FYI, 'c' is not a replacement for 'see'.

You should of never signed it. Yet VA is crazy on some laws like that.
If he didn't sign it, he would have gone to jail right then and there.

This is correct.



Did your friend have a lawyer? Hopefully your lawyer will play 20 questions with the cop to find the out the fact that you were nowhere near your friend going 102 and the judge will see it. But I wouldn't count on it. Good luck. And if you get found guilty, keep appealing it. The money you'll spend in lawyer fees up front will be nothing compared to the fines you'll rack up and increased insurance premiums for the next five years. Take it all the way to a jury if you have to.

Actually, when I was 16 I got a ticket for 'racing' where you turn right on Cedar Road from Battlefield. It's got one lane, we weren't speeding, not following each other too closely and honest to god I was just driving home. But the cop wrote us both up and we went to court and it got dropped and wasted everyone's time. So there is some hope. My lawyer was hot and had huge boobs, so that might have played a part in the verdict.

I will hit up the summary for him..

- him and friend coming home "race"
-cop follows them home and gives both tickets for 102 in a 60
-he wants to know what everyone thinks he should do?
-he got a lawyer that is saying he is shit out of luck...

I think that is bout it??

-Absolutely hire an attorney, without a doubt... but it looks like you already have (although your post was hard to read).

-APPEAL the decision, as Ritz said. I'm almost willing to guarantee the judge will find you guilty the first time around. It looks bad, honestly. You know how many times they see things like this and hear the same tired excuses over and over. No one pleads guilty to it, so of course they automatically assume you're just giving yet another excuse.

Good luck! The new laws are tough. I spent time in jail for 107/55 on my motorcycle, and this was like a year and a half ago before the crazy laws. I wish I had appealed, but my attorney convinced me that I was lucky that I only got a weekend and 40 hours of community service (and a hefty fine). I wish I had just kept appealing.

Also, remember that your attorney is working for you! Don't be afraid to tell them what you expect them to do for you.
