What is the name of your state? VA
I was charged for reckless driving (46.2-862) in Dulles access highway and the police officer wrote down "82/55 (laser)" on the summon. First moving offense, as far as I know...(Well, have received 1 ticket for parking in MD, 1 for passing the red signal in DC, which only required me to pay fine with no points on my record. but I guess these do not appear on my DMV record...? Please correct me if I'm wrong here.)
Although I was so in a hurry to catch an international flight, I feel so bad about what I've done and I'm really concerned about what I should do now....my main questions are:
1) If I hire a lawyer, what would be the result like?
The charge dismissed, or pay a fine + get points dropped off on my record, or get this down to a normal speeding ticket??
2) Is it worth to hire a lawyer to get this down to a lesser offense or should I attempt it on my own?
3) If you're for "no need to hire a lawyer," pls let me know tips/things I should know and prepare and what to say to Judge.
Please help me out!
Thank you and wish you a happy Thanksgiving!
