2 mph away from reckless, I'd personally get a lawyer.

 

where in arlington was this? the only place i can think of that they regularly have a speedtrap setup is on George Mason Dr. ??

 

I'd start looking at lawyers and possibly get your speedometer calibrated.

 

she got the ticket in the street that connects glebe rd to lee high way. Little side street that runs by the Marymount University Parking lot.

 

I know where you're talking about my mom got a ticket there about 3 or 4 years ago and she just took the ticket and nothing else happened, but hey the age difference is what makes the difference.

 

oooo, that's not a good place to be goin nearly 50mph

You'd probably want to fight it...Lawyers are expensive but it's probably a good precaution

 

Don't waste any money on a lawyer. Its 18 over, a 4 point ticket. You will not lose your license. It may be worthwhile to go to court as some judges may give you a break and drop it on the condition you go ticket-free for one year........or you could skip going to court, prepay and forget about it.

 

Take the time to go consult with a lawyer or two. If the lawyer says there is a very very good bet that they can drop the charge down some, then lawyer up so that you can knock the charge back some (and save some money on insurance).

Take a lawyer's advice, but I've always heard (and in my speeding case, it was good) that if you take the driving classes beforehand it always looks better then waiting for the judge to order you to do it.

 

Most lawyers have free consultations. You really don't have anything to lose if you decide to call them up.

 

I once got a ticket back in high school that was a few miles from becoming reckless...all I did was pay the ticket. Of course the people in my car helped pay it too

Arlington traffic court is nothing like Fairfax so unless they got really strict in the past 7 years, it might not be so bad.
