What is the name of your state? VA
After all the crap I had to deal with last year when I got pulled over on 495 doing 85 in a 50, I vowed I would never go 20 over the limit again. And for a year, I did really well at paying close attention to my speedometer.
Then on Sunday, outside Lexington, VA, I got pulled over for going 22 over - 77/55. Another reckless tkt. I've already dealt with the initial bout of depression and self-criticism and I just can't beat myself up anymore. 22 over is a major improvement on 35 over. So at least I know I tried.....
I'm thankful I wasn't in Fairfax County again, cuz I've heard they're harder than almost anyone in the country....
A couple concerns; now I have a record with reckless. I can't afford another lawyer. So I'm taking a driver improvement course and pleading no contest. I already know my speedometer is off by 3mph (55 = 52, 65=62).
This is a small country county, so I'm just placing myself at the mercy of the court - what are the chances of "jail time"? for 22 over? with a record? with a driver improvement course?What is the name of your state?
