Hey Matt... have you had many tickets in the past? I mean I was pulled over in Harrisonburg by city police for 56 in a 35 (RECKLESS) and the cop kept it at that. BUT he did say that the judge at the courthouse he usually deals with (i dont' know if he is the main judge or what) is softened up a little if an online drivers improvement course is completed before the court date. Shows a little bit of responsibility/remorse I guess? Being overly polite to the cop is a help too of course...
Because I had taken that online course, and the cop mentioned by cooperation (which Im sure you did also), the judge dropped it completely and told me just to slow down lol... It was also pointed out that i was going downhill on Neff so I don't know if that played into anything or not. But Im pretty sure that online course thing did it for me too. Might not work but it was direct advice from the cop that pulled me over. He could have saved his time and just let me go.
damn that was a long post. You're court date has probably already happend by the time i submit this shit.
