DO NOT WAIT....HIRE A LAWYER!!!!!!!! I was going 81/55 and was basically told by the judge, prosecutor, lawyer, etc that if i were going 83 or above that i was basically looking at automatic jailtime. Virginia doesnt screw around with speeding....they are VERY VERY strict. You should...
Hire an attorny....see if one has a payment plan if you cant afford them totally. It doesnt matter if you have a clean driving record or not. It just means you havent been caught before. If youre going that speed the judge knows this wasnt the first time you've gone that fast. 88 in a 55...
Well maybe you got VERY lucky and found one of the few countys in VA that dont take reckless driving so seriously. But I doubt it. If you dont want to hire an attorny then dont. If there's the potential for jailtime then the judge will tell you that and ask if you would like a continuance...
Check into getting a lawyer. Dont mess around with not paying just because its not your state...it will come back to haunt you somewhere in the future!
I got 81/55 in the county next to york county. Look online for lawyers in the area. They offer free advice and you really do need it...
You really will have to hire an attorney....at least for the second charge. VA doesnt play with reckless driving. I had an 81/55 and my lawyer said that anyone going 83/84 or above was looking at jail time...even if its just a weekend. Go to the DMV and get a copy of your driving record to...
GET A LAWYER. Dont wait til the last minute...GET ONE NOW!!!! The option for jail time is VERY REAL. VA doesnt play around with reckless driving. In August I got a 81/55 not too far from Spotslyvania. I've had one ticket in 12 years of driving and was a positive 3 points....the best you...
PLEASE HIRE A LAWYER!!!!!! I got 81/55 and my lawyer told me that I was at least okay since I was going under 83. He told me that with 83/84 and above that jailtime was a possibility!!!!!!!!! HIRE A LAWYER. I hired one in the town that I got the ticket in. I had a great driving record and...
In VA if you get a reckless driving ticket I was sure that its mandatory that you show up but the officer should have told you if you were required to appear in court or not. I'd call the court clerk and find out first. You dont want to assume you can just pay it and then get in trouble for...
Hire an attorney even if he doesnt want to contest it. They really can make better deals than you would be able to. I got a 81/55 and my lawyer said the prosecutor would rather the state get your money than your insurance company so they reduced my ticket to 74 which is a normal speeding...
you only get 2 points for going over 100 in CA?????? Anything over 80 is reckless in VA and is 6 points.
The judge allows you to plead not guilty, guilty, guilty with explaination and no contest. Unless you were havaing an emergency i would plead guilty with explaination. not guilty at that...
There may not be a prosecutor in your case if you were going 74. I think they only bring a prosecutor in when its reckless and a criminal charge. So on that level you'll be okay. There were others in the court that were going at those speeds and had so so records and they had a 200-300...
Where in VA did you get the ticket....some places are more strict more than others. I just went to court today for a reckless driving ticket 81/55. I had one other ticket in the 12 years I was driving. Unfortunatly VA has a low tolorance against reckless driving. If you have a reason for...
Update on reckless driving ticket in VA.
What is the name of your state? Virginia
I just wanted to post this in hopes of helping someone. I notice people post to just say something and its often poor advice or snide remarks.
I received a reckless driving ticket in Essex (Tappahonnack) Va...
What is the name of your state? Virginia
I would appreciate any advice. This weekend I received a reckless driving ticket going 81/55 (46.2.862) in Tappahannock, VA (which is evidently in Essex County). I honestly did not realize I was going at this speed. I was driving and had another car...
