So, I got a speeding ticket on 81 last week driving to the verona autocross. I was doing 78 in the 60mph 18 over the speed limit. What sucks is I wasn't really consistantly speeding, I just went around to pass a guy and at that 5 second interval where I was speeding I went passed a freaking copper whom then gave me a ticket. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do or tell the prosecutor to possibly get this thing reduced... a lot.

18 over isn't worth a lawyer... just pay it.

I drive it all the time, and must just get lucky. I keep it about 10 over usually and have only gotten one ticket in like 5 years, and that was a B.S. legitimate 72 in a 65
edit: btw, where is the 60mph zone? are you talking about the one right there at JMU?

From my experience, if you're driving a good ole boy special, you won't get ticketed. It's the imports that get tagged.

Does a lunchbox count as a domestic? I don't think RJ should be giving advice about how to get out of a speeding ticket.

reckless is understandable. the difference between 9 over and 18 over is negligible. if he's trying to save money, he should just pay the ticket.

Find out before you get a lawyer. Some insurance companies consider 15+ over the speed limit as reckless in their book, even if you don't get a reckless ticket from the cops. It's lame. I forget which company I had to deal with that did that.

i've seen some of the reports from my insurance company, they classify speeding in a few categories, 1-5, 5-10, 11-15, and 15+. Reckless is a speparate category.
I'd just pay it if it's not reckless - unless you can find a cheap/free lawyer
