I was on a trip on Highway 395 in the Sierras and drove at times 130. On the way home did the same but when I got into this small hick town after looking around as always at the light I took off and immediately was pulled over for exibition of speed. Heck I didn't even get to the speed limit! Of course the only vehicles around me were semi's and pickup trucks so I believe I stuck out like a sore thumb. Hey a rich guy in a Porsche what do I do, Oh yeah pull him over. And this was first road trip!

 

Yep, & I live in Texas, lol.
Cost me mucho dinero to get it taken care of without having to go back.

 

I was lucky and only had to do traffic school on line! It took me 15 minutes.

 

California allows you to dismiss a speeding violation ticket with only a 15 minute on-line course?? That sounds incredibly lenient for such a control-freak nanny state.

 

Virginia is ridiculous. I once got a ticket for driving with a radar detector and I was driving below the speed limit with my cruise control on. Cop admitted I was not speeding but I guess he couldn't resist the out of state plates and the easy revenue.

 

If you were a member and could access Off Topic, this pic would be just like a fellow by the name of "Riad"'s avatar. His mug ends up being photoshopped in all kinds of unbecoming ways, so you may want to consider deleting this, should you suffer the same fate....

 

That was my first thought too!

 

In California if you haven't had a ticket in two years you can go to traffic school. I've done this many times through the years. This time I was informed that I can do a website school. They allow you to scan through it as many times as you want and who couldn't get a 100 on a test like this and finish it in 15 minutes! Yeah I thought it was real stupid and way too easy!

 

I was caught well into triple digits in northern va and had to get a high priced lawyer to keep the jail time low. Spent 3 days in the Fairfax Jail and 1200 dollar fine, 60 day loss of license. It was considered an excellent deal.

First Prosecutor tried to give me 25 days. I refused and filed a continuance for the second hearing for that sentence.

 

Be a political donor.
1 State and U.S Rep
2 State and U.S. senator
These people can make problems go away!

 

Simple answer: it's not. Except that VA state laws says 80mph+ or anything 20 over the limit is automatically reckless. It's ridiculous, but I tell you what: I definitely watch my speed when getting close to +20/80.
