What is the name of your state?
Virginia
Sunday I was driving to visit family and an officer pulls me over doing 76 in a 55 (664 East right after the tunnel). My court date is Jan 27th, 2 weeks away and I have to come back from school in Richmond (20 year old college student) for a 10am court date. My driving record is good, I have not had a moving violation in 2 years.
Here is what I am thinking about doing: Getting my speedometer calibrated by a Jeep dealer (I drive a wrangler) because I think I was doing about 72 (still too fast, I know). Second, should I try to take one of them 8 hour driving classes this saturday or next? And last, I cannot afford a lawyer, but if my speedometer is off , could a 21 over reckless driving for speeding ticket turn into a regular speeding offense?
If anyone can give me some advice or make me feel a little better about this stupid mistake which will never happen again I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Clint
