Reckless in Prince William county VA 88 in a 65 46.2-862
What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Virginia
I recieved a Ticket Sunday night on I-81 in Prince William County VA. The State trooper said I was going 88 in a 65. He took my liscense and registration.He asked me the reason why I was driving over the limit. I told him " i just bought the car a week ago and wasnt used to the car and I wasn't paying attention to the speed I thought I was going with the flow of traffic".He said "You were not going with the flow of traffic". There was not alot of cars on the road since it was around 1030 pm. He said "you mean to tell me you werent watching your speed". Then he was like "what where you doing when you saw me". I said "after I passed you I looked down and it looked like I was doing 80".Before he went back to his car he asked me my age which kinda threw me off like you have my license so why did you ask that. He wrote down the wrong race(I dont look half japanes, the other half is white) and my weight is written down wrong. He took my liscense and registration . Anyways I know that does not mean anything or will help my case any.
The back round on my record is this. The last speeding ticket I recieved was back in November of 2000 when I was 18 and had my license for 3 months and That was reduced from 15 over the limit from a paced speed to 5 over the limit. Then the only other ticket I have was February of 2004 for failure to obey a highway sign in which I made a left on a no left turn in fairfax city, it was 2am in the morning. I never went to court for the failure to obey the sign I just paid the fine. I have zero points on my record.
The Violation is an 46.2-862 which is exceding the speed limit. I was 23 over the limit.
I Have a consultation with an attorny tomarrow afternoon and I am going to see what he will say about it. He said over the phone its nothing to panic we will talk abou it.
I already know about going to driving school. But I want to know if anyone has had experience in the Prince William county courts with wreckless driving tickets. What I should do. What if I chance it without an attorney and just go to driving school before I go to court. and in my case is it worth the money for an attorney. Any adivce would help me out because I have never experienced this. I have not ever seen a court room except for my first speeding ticket 5 yrs ago in fairfax county.
Thanks
