Speeding ticket VirginiaWhat is the name of your state? Virginia Well I must say that I have had a clean driving record for years I am 42 years old. In the past 2 months I received 2 speeding tickets. The first I paid. Today I received a ticket for Speeding 65/45 Code Sectoion 46.2.878 by laser 840.2 ft I looked up Code Sectoion 46.2.878 It states... § 46.2-878. Authority to change speed limits. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this article, the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner or other authority having jurisdiction over highways may decrease the speed limits set forth in § 46.2-870 and may increase or decrease the speed limits set forth in §§ 46.2-873 through 46.2-875 on any highway under its jurisdiction; and may establish differentiated speed limits for daytime and nighttime by decreasing for nighttime driving the speed limits set forth in § 46.2-870 and by increasing for daytime or decreasing for nighttime the speed limits set forth in §§ 46.2-873 through 46.2-875 on any highway under his jurisdiction. Such increased or decreased speed limits and such differentiated speed limits for daytime and nighttime driving shall be effective only when prescribed after a traffic engineering investigation and when indicated on the highway by signs. It shall be unlawful to operate any motor vehicle in excess of speed limits established and posted as provided in this section. The increased or decreased speed limits over highways under the control of the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner shall be effective only when prescribed in writing by the Transportation Commissioner and kept on file in the Central Office of the Department of Transportation. Whenever the speed limit on any highway has been increased or decreased or a differential speed limit has been established and such speed limit is properly posted, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the change in speed was properly established in accordance with the provisions of this section. I was wondering what would the best thing to do? What type of error invaladtes the summons? Also the above Code Section only talks about the authority to change the speed limit. Not the violation. But I'm sure I am reading it incorrectly.What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? |

| I would take the online voluntary 5 points safe driving course and then show up for court and try to get a reduction. You were very lucky you did not get a reckless driving ticket. The problem is this violation is six points. |
