speeding ticket....need advice
I am from nj. I got a speeding ticket on rt 13 in VA right before the Chesapeake Bay Bridge going south. A cop said I was going 74 in a 55. I dont believe I was going over 68 tops because I thought the speed limit was 65. That road is a joke and changes speed limit once or twice in a 10 mile span which is a joke and a great way for the crap state of va to collect money
Long story short im looking at a $50 processing fee $10 for a local charge (bullsh*t) and $6 for every mile over which is times 19 for a total of $174. Given im from nj and not va. Im not going 300 miles to fight it just to get told tough crap then owe a court fee on top of that. Since it was out of state, will I get points on my license? I heard since it was out of state I just pay a fine. Anyone shed light on this Thanks in advance! |
Consider yourself luckey. In CA a ticket like that is about $600! Beverly Hills PD doesn't play

one of the big problems i faced is my insurance went up when i got a ticket for a seat belt so factor that into the situation, it ended up going up 50$ a month for 3years so looking back i wish i would have fought it

It will show on your license that you got the ticket but I don't know about the points. Your lucky it wasn't 75 cause 20 over is an automatic reckless in va as is 80 and over! I just got a speeding ticket a couple weeks ago from a speed camera. I was doing 7 over wtf! It was in my company car so my boss got the ticket and paid it before I even knew it happened:). He didn't care he just cussed out the traffic cam and how stupid they are lol. My doesn't go on my license tho it's just a monetary fine since they would have to prove who was driving.
Like big said the biggest worry would be your insurance. |

The speed is like that in parts of WI, You will be on a highway, 65mph speed limit, every 2 miles is a city and the speed limit drops down to 35-45. |

Get a lawyer in that area and have them appear for you and try to reduce/eliminate that ticket. Long story short I got a 24mph over when the speed limit changed from 35-55 because I accelerated before the limit sign. The officer was having a bad day or something because on top of being a real dick, he was sitting right behind the speed increase picking people off. I hired a lawyer for $250 and they reduced the ticket to a 1-10mph. I was still disappointed it was not removed but at least I escaped with my license and only 3 points removed. My insurance was unchanged as well being it was a minor violation at that point.

now even when the points go away, will it still show i once had a few points for speeding? |
In WI you get points back each year, but the ticket is public record for 5 years so it does show up here in a simple background check.
