Question Fellas - NOVA Ticket
Hey Guys,
I live in Loudoun county and the cops there/here seem to be pretty chill (for the most part) until I got my M4, now left and right... I get pulled over, "sir, where is your front plate", "sir, you are going too fast", "sir, please don't flip us off" and so on... But couple weeks ago I was driving my truck and I got pulled over for failure to obey highway sign (speeding), I tried explaining to the officer that I made a left turn from one of the streets and from the point that I made the left turn to the point he caught me speeding there were no visible speeding signs and that the ticket has no merit, politely of course. I have a good driving record and he really didn't seem to care... So my question is, should I take this to court or should I just pay the fine and suffer the aftermath of insurance and the other pleasantries? |

No, but seriously, I was looking at a possible "surrender a license" in another state for exceeding top limits while on my way to FL some years back when I was foolish, young, dumb and...well you get it! Was never told to get a lawyer but I figured there was no way I was walking into a southern court, an out of towner from up north, and leave it all up to my good looks and chance that I could lose my license. Result, had a deal done before hitting the courtroom with a local lawyer and the DA. Worth every penny.

I'm not sure these two statements are reconcilable.

I don't know if this applies to where you live but when I lived in NC there is a city wide speed limit unless otherwise posted. There are also signs that clearly state this. Look into that if your argument is going to be 'there was no speed limit sign posted'

Note to self stay away from Va PERIOD. The harshest traffic laws in the area.
A place where if the posted speed limit is 70 mph and you get caught doing 10/11 over it's reckless which is counter to most reckless driving for doing 20 mph over. I have my speed limit reminder on my M3 set at 79 mph just because of VA. |

He's got you there Snipe4real
but yeah... maybe if you're stressed, just snag a traffic atty, see what they can manage. You probably walk away with something decent, or like others have said maybe the cop doesn't even show to the courtroom. I don't think they are that expensive at the end of the day anyway. Good point made about the "standard" speed limits, I had forgotten all about that.
