so as most of you saw i was going down to va this past weekend i met not one of you guys booo... but i saw a sick silverstone z i was on the strip at va beach but anyway back to the story i was half a sleep driving with the cruies on at like 65 to 68 on a 55 my friend goes theres a cop passing im like so.... he flys around and pulled me over saying his "back radar" caught me doing 78 in a 55 hes like im writing u a ticked i was like can i get a print out of my speed he was like no ok i go so if i was doing 78 as u say how did u manage to drive fast enough to catch me and manage to point your "back radar" at my car when there was 3 cars behind me and in front of me there was a few cars also he starts to say uhh uh uhh im going to write u for 72 so you dont have to come back and just call and pay. i was like fine then he goes nice car and leaves man i was madd at the local diner the girl says since its a hot car and your out of state he figured easy ticket who would come back and fight it lol i would i have a clean license skuooz the spelling please thanks gabe


p.s so you guys think i should fight it or pay it was a trooper how dose trafick court work down there its in the town accomaack ?

 

Pay it. It's damn near imposible to fight tickets here. It's a commonwealth, so we get alot if not most our revenue from tickets and such. All fighting it is gonna do is pi$$ you off. lol

If it makes you feel any better i got a ticket this weekend for 51 in a 35 on a road tha twas 45 last week. The cop even told me they just changed the speed limit!! having lived here my whoel life, and gotten a ticket for just about everything shy of DUI, i'll just pay it.

Just be happy he was cool enough to not give you a wreckless (20+ over) they will chuck ya in jail with a quickness for that here. When you would of had to go to court!

Plus a wreckless carries the same points as a DUI!!

 

If you have nothing else to do then fight it

 

That hurt my eyes to read...somebody post the MC grammar pic! lol

 

 

 

lol u guys suck so just pay how many points will it be

 

72 on 55 = 4 points i believe..

 

pay the damn thing and get it over with

 

Yep!! That's correct!!

 

Id say fight it. If he read you at 72 and you are sure that you are going 65-68 MAYBE the officer's radar was not calibrated that day, so you can fight saying that his gun wasnt calibrated.

The cops need a certificate that the radar gun was calibrated everyday to make sure it works.

I dont know its up to you to fight it or not.(but im in MD so its not as bad as VA cops)

 

The "calibrated radar" fight is just as pointless as the "my speedometer was outta cal" fight. The judge is gonna laugh, give him his fine, then move on. Now he paid a fine, and missed work, and drove to VA!!

If a cop is gonna tell the judge his elaborate "rear radar" story, then i can gaurantee you he's gonna have all his ducks in a row, including up to date radar cal. Plus like everything, i'm sure they can "calibtate it" and make it legit before court if it was outta cal when he gave the ticket. This is revenue for the state, so if the cop says it was calibrated, and shows him some sort of paper saying so, he's gonna buy off on it!

 

Go to court and blame it on The Fast and the Furious and GTA.

 

LOL No *****!!!

 

I hate to say it but you are better off just paying it. I tried to fight a ticket down here and I ended up getting the full fine and missed half a day at work.

 

I must say from personal experience, if you never ever plan on returning to VA and have a NY DL. Dont event bother since NY does not record out of state convictions. However if you will be returning to VA anytime pay it. I have only received 3 tickets in VA and now owe them $2700.00 for not going to court. First I was pulled for 72 in a 65 in pulaski, VA (on my way to TN from DC) in 2002, then it was 84 in a 65 in Shenendoah, VA (on my way to TN again) in 2004 (reckless, speeding in excess of 80 and driving on suspended) Then finally got flicked in 2007 (HOV infraction). So in closing if you have the dough go on and suck it up and pay it or take it to court and hope the trooper doesnt show (Back county cops always show). If you never plan on returning, forget about it just don't ever go back to VA.

 

The next time you ask for a print out and the officer refuses, tell him to write on the back of the ticket that he refused to show you the radar printout + have him sign it and bring that to court = automatic win.

 

i asked him for it he sed no lol ill pay it called 2day was told 145 for the ticket but they sed points would be ny points ?

 

I hate VA with a passion

 

what are the points in ny??
