Farmville is a small *** town, was it a state or county officer that pulled you? Either way, anything over 85 is really a bad deal.

 

Have your speedo recalibrated via hptuners to lower the speedo to a lower indicated mph vs actual, go get your speedo calibrated at a station that provides the service, and voila..

 

does that really work?


arent they onto that trick by now? i guess it is reasonable doubt but cant a judge say its your responsibility to make sure your car is operating correctly?

 

Yep, anything could change your speedometer, tires are a common one.. I mean if you're goin 95 in a 55 you're pretty much **** outta luck, but if you're doin say 80 in a 55 and you're speedo is 6mph low, you'll get off the reckless driving ticket, etc..

 

You must be really stupid. I knew of their reckless driving laws when i turned 16. i've gotten over 100 tickets in my lifetmie, but NEVER in VA. Although i do try to avoid that hell hole of a state when possible

 

... Talk about calling the kettle black.

 

NO JAIL FOR ME FOTHER MUCKERS!!!
i got a $500 fine and my VA license suspended for IDK 90days
I took a AAA Driving class, what a joke that was.
Some how the car had 235/75R16 on it : and that threw the spedo off by 10%.
i think thats about the tallest tire that can be put on without modding anthing. it was about 1/4 inch from rubbing the bumper and 1/4
if any one in PA needs a spedo check take it to Powl's Speedometer & Auto Care in Lancaster PA, DO NOT take it to Northeast Speedometer Services. They dont check the accuracy, they check the function.
thanks for all of the ideas/help

UMM OOK
iv been working on cars since i was 14 years old but i dont go talking smack 2 people that dont know how.

 

think he was a statey (Had the big hat on)but not sure it was dark n u know how cops love their flash lights

 

Congrats! Looks like you got off a little easier than my buddy! $500 fine sucks but it definitely could have been much worse. Glad to hear it all worked out for you.

 

was $500 you paid for everything or just the fine?

 

VA got me for 10mph over and said they could write me for wreckless driving if they wanted to. *** hats.

 

just the fine
they got my GF brother at the same time for doing 3 over! then they gave him a DUI check, got the info of the 4 other people in the car and gave him a ticket because the person sitting behind him didnt have their seat belt on

 

Considering the location of Virginia I guess there is a heavy influence from Washington DC. No wonder they are a bunch of fascist, jack-booted thugs.

 

VA. is in the process of putting the SWASTICKA on all police cars.

 

I live in Virginia and have had 0 problems with police, and I drove my Camaro daily for 6 years here. Not saying people haven't had bad encounters with Virginia cops but they really aren't that bad here.

 

Try driving through without VA plates. I was followed many times, eff um I go else where for vacation.

 

I got 101 in a 65. Things didn't end well. Punished to the fullest extent I would say. I try to stay out of VA.

 

You must walk funny!

 

My wallet sure does after that financial rape.
