Got a speeding ticket today
While rushing home because Brown was delivering my exhaust today. 
Thankfully, the Sherrif was impressed with the fact that I had velcro'd the cover over my front plate instead of not putting it on at all. That little gem turned reckless into somthing a bit more palatable.
Anyone know if VA offers traffic school?

What a drag. I rolled though radar today down on the PW Parkway and really thought I was dead. I guess I wasn't as obvious as I thought.
Oh well. Time for bad boys school. When are you putting the exhaust on. I want to hear it.

Bought my 02 on 02/14/06 and have driven it exclusively since then with one exception. I took the vette in to have the windows tinted and drove my truck that afternoon. I got a ticket in my truck. First ticket that I have had in 3 years. Everyone told me that I would be getting alot of tickets in a red vette. Turns out I can get one just as easy in a brown truck.

I think i got lucky in Sachse a few days ago. I saw screaming down HWY 78 towards home on my way back from the taco stand. Saw a motorcycle cop sitting in a parking lot turn in, luckilly he was talking to a trucker whom had pulled up next to him and was distracted. Good thing I was quick with my right arm as i applied the brakes liberally else there would have been delicious tacos all over my passenger's side carpet.
anybody else love good tacos?
lol

Sorry it happened, but go figure... we get one ticket for about every 1000 infractions, so you seem to be doing ok.
Hope you can get traffic school...
BTW, can't you just mount the RD out of view?

Why just pay the fine and admitt guilt? This is America where your innocent till proven guilty. Go to court and fight it...I went for my ticket and the cop dropped my charge to 5 miles over the limit and no points!! I was going 18 mph over the limit..They just want your money as extra revenue for the town....

To answer the original question, yes, you can request driving school and upon successful completion the charge dismissed and removed. But it's conditional. Depends on your driving record, speed associated with the original offense, and you haven't already competed traffic school. Also, check into doing the on-line traffic school. Much more convenient. Good luck.
