Well, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, any offense that is I think 15 over the limit, OR, any speed over 80 mph, is reckless driving, and it can get pricey.


Sounds like I chose the right country for driving - ugh!

80 mph = 128 kmh, that's not very reckless on an empty highway.

BTW all this court business sounds like a LOT of needless paperwork. Here they don't care about your motivation, they just say 21 - 30 km/h too much is this amount of fine + so many penalty points, 31 - 40 is another, etc.

It is paperwork completely run amok. I got my first ticket in Maruland in 1970 something. At the time, I was taking my younger daughter to herseback riding lessons and mentioned the ticket to the mother of one of the other riders:

"What are you going to do?

"Pay it, what else, they got me on radar.

"Oh no. don't do that. I have had several tockets and I have never paid a thing.

"Huh?

"You go to court and you explain it to the judge. Tell him anything. Then they cancel it.




Now she was young and attractive so I figured maybe that was the secret of her success. They didn't cancel my ticket but they did substantially reduce the recorded excess of speed.

The victory parade is ongoing as of now, on KDKA's website.

The band is starting to march - initial crowd estimates are now being revised to up to 300,000 people in the 'Burgh. I am sure traffic is a mess.
