I got pulled over for going 76 in a 55 (just before the 28 exit off I-66 west). I had to go to court for that crap, and it was a 6-point violation (reckless driving).

Last time I looked up the laws, there was nothing beyond reckless driving for going 20 miles over, but it's a misdemeanor which I believe means that the judge can give you jail time if he feels like it.

Qaz -- I got a 77 is a 55 on 267 awhile ago and went to court as well. They said nothing about reckless driving or jail time. Don't know what my record in VA looks like as I had just gotten my MD license switched to VA the day before.

2112 -- Sorry to hear about the cast. You know I was just playing though ... laugh

I got 71 in a 35 but my buddy's dad used to work with the cop and he said they had no evidence since he paced me and not radar. I was zoned out and look to leave for the beach the next day
he turned next to me!

Tony,
You are one lucky SOB.

Next time your out here, I will buy you a drink or two at the Car Pool.

I have good news for you as well. I got a real job again! It's a long bizzare story. It pays the same as I had when I worked for the dot com place, and it's my specialty, radio goods.

Im real happy for you.

As a tip, send the commander of the SPD troop a nice gram on paper. Stating how a trooper had treated you well. Gave you some good advice ect. Forget to mention what you had been stopped for.

sign it with your name. Stuff like that goes into his file and looks good at review and promotion time. It also gets read during line up.


I did that years ago with a speeding ticket. About 6 years later, I met that trooper in the Hempstead Court, and he remembered me and that letter. I got a note back from the commander of that SPD Troop saying how nice it was that someone said something nice about his cops.

I told you the story about when I got pulled over by the Herndon cops when I had the guns on. That caused a letter too, and a nice reply. Nice works.

Keep it safe
Jack Crow in VA. smile
