You check out Web Traffic School ?

I used one of these before, not this one, I couldnt find the one I used. But I did it in VA and it knocked points off.

Yes I have dusted off my 12 speed Shwinn and will be riding it around to avoid any more tickets , so if you see me chucking along on RT 7 or 123 make sure to waive.

I'm brain storming on things I can do to reduce my points. The best case scenerio is that the judge will drop my points for taking driving school or just because he's a great guy, highly doubtful. So I'm preparing for the worst, I'll probably get 2-3 points for each ticket and will lose my license or even worse my insurance company will drop me. I guess I will have to upgrade my Shwinn to a 21 speed, I wonder is Spoon makes a final gear for my Shwinn .

Just call me machoarmstrong from now on....

.........Good job! Ask for traffic court or something on this one, I'm sure they won't even know about yesterday.

oh man, you got lucky. Good to see you get off. Since you got off this one and your record will be clear and you can beg and plead to lower the point and possibly take driving school. I know when i got clocked doing 80 in 45mph zone I was about to piss in my pants, but i maintained my composure and told him honestly i was sorry and he let me go with an warning. As for tkt in VA showing up in MD, yes the DMV is tied together in the tri-state. In fact, I got a tkt in nj and still shows in my record. Hate those jersey cops.... But yeah, i suggest go to court and hope cop don't show up and then if he does, plead and ask for forgiveness. :-)

Best of luck!

How is everything else going/?? next time you guys are in the area, let me know, i would like to tag along...

John - MD has no reciprocity with other states when it comes to tickets, meaning that any points that you get out-of-state will show up and stay on your MD/MVA driving record for two years as a violation with 0 points.

BUT, you'll still take the hit as far as insurance because they calculate in insurance points and go back three years on your driving record, of course.

I've been through it all... Good luck.
