[SuperBoy]

Player you will be fine, that's not that bad...... fine might be high... but you will be ok..

I got a reckless driving ticket on my motorcycle here in VA. Anybody in the area know what the fine or punishment may be? 84 in a 55. First ticket in 2 years.

You could get a 2,500 dollar fine, up to 1 year in jail and 6 months loss of license not to mention a signed risk for the next 3 years when it comes to your insurance. GET A LAWYER QUICK.

What were you clocked with? Radar can be beat easily. Just make sure you ask for EVERYTHING, Officer, Equipment calibration records, records of officer training on the equipment, then its just a matter of asking the right questions, like how far away was I when you saw me. Now do the math, at xxx amount of speed you should have been moving this many miles per hour....So if he tells a lie or didn't quite know how far away you were then the math will make him look stupid and the ticket will be dropped.

I got a 92 in a 55 4 years ago in Chesterfeild. Ended up not getting a lawyer and i ended up getting a restricted license for 90 days, a 200+ fine, and they shreaded my license infront of me. But what was interesting is that after all that it never went on my insurance. My advice is to get a lawyer.

Interesting point because the 5 points I got taking the driving course online cut my insurance quote in half...literally...so I'm guessing the reckless driving charge obviously hasn't shown up...I just think that might be a court thing though...maybe the system is slow and so my insurance hasn't seen it yet...my thought is that it will catch up to me eventually...

Don't know where you're from..but this shit doesn't work..and the guy who said that they will drop the charges if you get a lawyer is wrong too. If it happened to you before, please believe you were lucky..it is NOT the norm. Shit is a game and about money..plain and simple.

I have been stopped more times that I wish to count..and always go to court with a lawyer (Have legal coverage through my job). I have never had charges dismissed...always reduced.

The worst was 120 in a 55 on my bike... (I was prolly doing 75-80). The lying ass cop says he paced me ..at night at 120 . I just knew this one was gonna get dismissed .

Judge offered me $100 fine, no points . I wanted the lawyer to try the case..he pulled me aside and said "I will do whatever you want..but I advise you to take the deal"....
told me that he didn't care if I had a video tape, 5 witnesses, and two actuaries. I was most likely gonna lose..cuz the cop is considered an expert, and they will lie or say anything to win.
Would've been like $500 plus suspension for six months, and surcharges.. ..All for some BS I didn't even do..

So I took the deal...and always do.
I have seen many, many people with less shit than I was accused of... get far worse punishment..all because they didn't have a lawyer.

Sooo..get a lawyer, and take the deal.

I got caught up coming out of the HRBT eastbound near oceana. .

???? ???? huh.....dude the Hampton roads bridge tunnel (HRBT)is nowhere near Oceana....

did u mean Ocean View....?

With a reckless driving charge in Virginia, especially in Virginia Beach, the judges have the option to send you STRAIGHT TO JAIL, so have your attorney on speed dial just in case. If the law hasn't changed, I think it requires a mandatory court appearance.

right and right again.....

u cant prepay reckless driving and ur ass can do jail time.....

i had a ticket in VABCH on a bike a couple of years ago....

78 in a 55.....20 miles over is reckless by the way.....
