So I got pulled over for Wreckless
I was coming home saturday morning around 7pm from VA. Had a good time at a house party but about 2 miles from the wilson bridge the cop pulled me over for doing 91mph@55mph zone.
Im not gonna bad mouth the cop. I know I was speeding and I did not make excuses.
I told him I drank a good amount the night before and on my way home so I can catch my 8am tee time at Hampshire greens.
So he wrote me a quick ticket for wreckless, took a breathalizer test (blew 0.04)
He said just come to court and he will tell the judge that I was being very polite the entire time and that there was no traffic in the morning and I did not put anyone in danger. That way the sentencing will not be too harsh, maybe just a good amount in fines.
I was suprised how nice the cop was. I guess its always good to be polite to your police officer and have great respect for their job.
Either way, I HATE driving in VA

yeah I got out of a wreckless by being polite, went from being initially pulled over being yelled at by the cop to getting compliments and a warning as I pulled away!

Eh.. yeah you should def go to court. I got pulled over in NJ doing almost 100 in a 55zone which was apparantly also a "saftey corridor" in the Mercedes in the left lane (which apparantly you can't drive in and is only supposed to be used for passing) 
Anyway... the cop gave me a wreckless driving ticket, and I paid it because I didn't want to have to go back up to NJ for court ...a few weeks later i get a letter in the mail from WV dmv that says btw you have 11 points on your lisence one more and you're toast. The wreckless driving carries 6 frickin points!!!!
moral of the story- fight it!

Yea he really like the car and told me he probably wouldve done the same if he were in my position. So we had a laugh. Got my ticket and went on home. Very cool cop.

I got a ticket saturday also, I was going 75 on a 40. I told him I was trying to catch up to my friends and I told him I was sorry for speeding.
He was a cool cop. He told me he did the same thing when he was my age... so thats why he became a cop. He lowered the speed to 50 on a 40 and 1 point $90.
