Error on Speeding Summons Spotsylvania, VA

[TheresaTeee]

I received a summons for speeding in Spotsylvania, Virginia. The radar said i was doing 62 in a 45. I know i wasnt over 57 but that is a moot point I was still speeding.

The summons has space for physical description and states that I have blue eyes when I do not. I clearly have dark brown eyes, can I use this as a cause for dismissal. This is my first offense, I have a clean driving record**************..or am I better off just paying the ticket and consider it lesson learned**************...

No, sorry. It has no bearing on the offense, just an identifier for the DOT

Your better off to appear and ask for leniency - driver's school, probation if you do not want to contest it. The insurance increase will be huge....you will most likely lose your good driver discount and get a big surcharge...

Theresa, I am posting this here because you don't have your pm activated. You replied to a post in child custody. Your "advice" was wrong. You should not reply to a thread UNLESS you can back up what you say with the correct statute from the state in question. It is irresponsible.

Your virilic rant is not appropriate, nor is you lack of ability to READ the case law or look up statutes yourself. No one here owes you any research and this is a forum for consumers to share experience so you are furthermore offbase...

Start you own thread - quit hijacking...

Excuse me, but what of my advice was wrong? Are you saying that my entire custody case is wrong? This was done through the courts, these are the things I was told by the judge, the children's advocate lawyer and personal experience.
My PM will be activated so that you can respond.

Excuse me...But was I even talking to you?? I think not!

This forum is to provide LEGAL advice for those in need ....if you want to "share experiences" join a support group for the driving impaired.

Oh and cepe...I didn't "hijack"...I was talking to the OP

"virilic" ??? What word is "virilic"???

You are wrong about what the forum is for: yes, it is for consumers to share experience, but the legal info needs to be VALID, or else it's pointles.: How would YOU like it if some numbskull gave YOU invalid info?? This is why statements given as fact should be backed up with references/citations.

Damn near all of it.

Are you saying that my entire custody case is wrong? This was done through the courts, these are the things I was told by the judge, the children's advocate lawyer and personal experience.

Was it in the same state? The same county? Instead of just blasting around, why not provide references so that everyone can benefit from your SAME STATE experience? If it's not in the same state, it's completely pointless.

You are better off just paying the ticket and considering it lesson learned.

So I see!
I therefore and hereto print a retraction.

Excellent advice - so instead of taking driving school or getting a possible deferment she can incur a $2000+ insurance increase. Excellent legal advice and brilliant legal strategy.

OP given your clean record and a citation not in excess of 80+ on the freeway - I would highly consider either contesting it - speed limit justified by 85% speed, current calibration within 6 months or plead guilty show your driving record and ask for driving school or deferment to keep the points off your record. You will see in court the judge will be often be fairly decent to those who show up in terms of leniency. It is almost always worth your time on a case like this.
