Re: need traffic law HELP
That's for wreckless driving, which this guy might be getting. Winchester rocks. There aren't many cops that know ---- about cars, and there's no emissions testing. Drive a half hour east and you have emissions testing in the same state, I love it. I know better than to speed in Manassas or Fairfax, that ---- is begging for the bone.

thats not for reckless driving as you pointed out... the fee for the ticket is still like 300 or something, but they now have a 1500+ court charge fee...so your normal 360 speeding ticket is now like 2k when its all said and done.... so all you travelers watch your speed, cause you could buy a new project car by the time your done

Reckless driving results in an annual fee of $350 for 3 years, on top of the original reckless driving fees and court costs. However, if you show up to court with a lawyer that knows his *** from a hole in the ground you can get the additional fees thrown out, because they're technically unconstitutional. You can't charge only VA residents and not people from other states because it's too hard to track them. That's bullshit and VA knows it. It's a way to tax without calling it a tax. It's illegal for them to do it, and 90% of the time they get thrown out if you make a stand.
Yeah I'm from Winchester but I'm in Harrisonburg now at JMU. Do they really have a 16 ticket quota per shift? That's ------- bogus.

Yup, quota blows ***. And it's a bit more than $350/year extra depending on the ticket/prior ticket. And the court system can't throw the extra fees out, because they are "licensing fees" enforced by the DMV, has nothing to do with traffic court. Henrico County is the only place in VA where you can't get them, as their court system as a whole has ruled them unconstitutional. But that is just one county

and they are working on a system now to get out of state drivers with the same fees, big talk in the adjoining states like MD, but all together the idea is bull ----, but hell im not going to be speeding thru there thats for damn sure.

Man that's a 180 turn from what I heard a few months ago. Last I heard a VA court was sued big time by a lawyer that got a reckless ticket the first day the act was put into action and he was working on getting rid of it everywhere.
