Man your Lawyer must play golf with the judge.

Your one lucky dude. Glad it turned out for the good for you.

more states should adopt these policies!

VA is not so easy on speed or street racing violations. You don't even want to get caught around here street racing. If you do and depending on the violation and circumstances, you can kiss your ride bye bye. I suppose all this was put into place because of too many vehicle accidents, injuries, deaths, at least for N. VA and other metro areas of the State. I recall this year, March, 2008, VA repealed traffic laws/fine structure put in place several years prior. Fines were as high as $2500 - $3000 for a simple speeding offense, 6 demerit points and taxes were assessed (for us poor residents) on top of the base fines/court costs which could have totaled upwards of $1050/year, for as long as points remained on one's license. Factor in license suspension and the impacts that sentence may hold, driving around here became (and still can be), an "expense privilege".

Seth, get a good lawyer (which you probably have done) and have them try and litigate/defend the best they can. I wish you all the luck.

well your driveway should be legal enough. :rock:

I just want to know where I can do a good burnout!:burnout: I'm not into all this top speed stuff!

don't just get any lawyer. get a DAMN GOOD lawyer. i've been in this situation a couple times and wound up with just a couple of points on my license each time after my lawyer worked his magic.

VA is tough. In Va Beach 71 in a 55 (On the higway) was an automatic 4 days in jail regardless of driving history.

OUCH.Look on the bright side though, at least you get to spend a few days being somebody's bitch.:dontknow:
