What is the name of your state? Virginia
I got a ticket in (Prince William and?) Manassas County doing 95/60. I was a bit surprised because I have a 94 Nissan Pathfinder with 185,000 miles on it and didnt realize it could even pass 80mph. On top of that when I was fumbling though my wallet to find my registration the cop noticed another liscense. The cop told me to hand it over and asked me if I used it to get into clubs. I told him no and that a friend left it in my car (hes out of the country now) and that is why i have it. He went back to go check the SS# and told me about how the name that it gave him didnt match up with the name on the card. He then told me that if my friend wanted it back that he would have to pick it up at court (but hes in Japan right now...). Didnt tell the officer anything other that hat.
So the first thing I did was take the 8 hour driver improvement classes and replaced the sensors on my speedometer (along with 3 other things.) Now I dont know if I should get a lawyer or what I should say to the judge. I plan on explaining to him the condition of my car, the glitchy speed sensor, and how this was my first real traffic offense. Ive had tickets before, but they were for expired tags and a no turn on red. Ive been driving for 3 years and I plan on taking a record of my history to cout. And also should I be worrying about the police officer also charging me with about ID since he didnt give me a ticket when he pulled me over?
Is there anything else the judge will take into consideration? Should I maybe tell him about how im involved with community around me or my grades?
