Get a Speeding Ticket, Pay the DA for Better Treatment - Hit & Run : Reason.com

In Louisiana you just pay the district attorney cash to get your ticket reduced or forgiven. That cuts out the lawyers, however it’s still a mockery of justice. Ray Morrogh, the CA for Fairfax County would really like this policy!

Bigfoot - I have a summons for reckless driving by speed. 85/70 I was polite to the officer during the stop. He stated that the radar showed that I was going 85 and wrote the ticket accordingly. I have an attorney. I have a clean driving record. I am hoping that it is reduced to regular speeding. My husband was sleeping in the car when this happened. He recalls some cars beeping their horn at me as we were stopped. I didn't notice this. He thinks that other drivers may have reported me and that is why I was stopped. Wouldn't the officer have mentioned that? If that is a factor in my case, wouldn't I have been charged with something in addition to RD by speed? My husband is worried that there will be some surprises come up in court but I think that he is paranoid.

Reported you for what??? Going 85? Do you seriously think someone will call the police if they see someone going 85mph?

I had a few moments of frustration on this long road trip when people were driving slowly in the left lane...I honked at a few of them or followed too closely...nothing terrible but maybe a bit of aggressive driving possibly. There was a truck going 50 in the left hand lane trying to pass another truck going up hill...stuff like that. I was definitely frustrated on 81.

What do you expect random internet people to offer that the lawyer you are paying hundreds of dollars to can't accomplish? Virginia processes THOUSANDS of reckless driving cases a year your 85 in a 70 is no special snowflake case. Your lawyer will get it reduced, that's what you hired one for...stop stressing over it.

Why are you so hostile? You are under no obligation to reply to my question. Just ignore me if you think it is a stupid question. Why waste your energy typing a response?

You very well may have been reported for aggressive driving.

But if the officer did not mention it and I am only charged with reckless driving by speed...would someone reporting me have any impact on the case? It seems like the officer would have mentioned it.
