Screwed.
Can we have a ban on all threads relating to tickets? I swear we can't get away with one month without one popping up with someone ranting about a ticket and how to get out of it.
You sped, you got caught, you screwed up. Go to court if it makes you feel any better and plead your case. In the end you just have to admit you were wrong and face the consequences. Coming here and asking us how to get out of a ticket is juvenile.

go to court. ive been to court for tickets 4 times. unless you say something that's really stupid they'll drop most of the points (never all of them) and at LEAST half your fine. this is in Montgomery County. i dunno how strict theyll be where you got your ticket. basically just show up cause it will help in some way.
oh yea there's also the chance that the cop doesn't show up to court--but if you do, you will be excused! good luck dude.

The cop will show up, and the court will not drop anything. I agree though, if it was MD he might have a chance.

1. I will start by saying we do see a LOT of these types of thread here, hence some reactions being harsh.
2. The advice to do nothing and bend over to take the fine is insane. If you can go to court and present a clean driving record the Judge may be having a good day and feel generous. Why not take advantage of that? Of course you shouldn't lie or otherwise try to weasel your way out of the ticket... just go to court dressed nicely and with a copy of your driving record. Apologize for the lapse in judgment and see what happens. Don't be disappointed if the charge doesn't get reduced -- after all: you earned it.
Be thankful it wasn't reckless. You know that's now worth about ~$1200 in VA don't you?
