I have a question about speeding tickets

[mlmpetert]

Tryful & Monleydad - are you guys talking about me? When did i say it was legal or something about a 60 zone? Also i bump this thread from 2007 (didnt realize it was that old until now) when i added my question about speeding tickets to it so that may be adding to the confusion.

And regardless if im guilty or not id prefer to get out of this ticket, even though i doubt that will happen. I never admitted to speeding or anything, but i dont think it really matters much anyways. Also i very much realize trying to fight it will only get me nowhere but with a bigger headache.

Ruskins and FPRLG - im pretty much set on going off of your advice. I went to DMV yesterday to title a new car so I also got my driving record run off of your advice. In VA you have 3 options at DMV:

Employment - 3 years of your driving history
Insurance - 7 years of your driving history
Personal - 11 years

I opted for the 7 years because i had a few zero tolerance type license suspensions (not driving related) when i was a rebellious adolescent. It costs 8 dollars to run your record regardless of the time period you pick and I may still get the 11 year check run just in case it looks better then I think. Oddly the Illegal Lane Change ticket I got 2-3 years ago wasn’t on it. I double checked it on this VA court check system and nothing!

Somehow I got lucky and it never got recorded! The guy at the DMV was really cool and I talked to him for a while and explained what I was trying to do and he thought the 7 year was probably the smartest route. He also told me I have 5 good points which is the best you can have and from what he could tell my record looked spotless. The most amount of bad points you can have is 1000 or maybe 999. Not sure how you can get that bad maybe a few duis and a couple reckless drivings.

Also the best time to go to the DMV is about an hour before they close, my wait was less than 2 minutes.
