Arlington, Virginia

Court date is set for a week from now. Even though this is a small fine, I don't want this to show up on my record which is why I'm going to court (insurance reasons). This is my first moving violation in 6yrs (last one was speeding).

Any suggestions? I'm hoping the officer doesn't show, what if he does? What should I plead?

Thanks

 

find out where the cop lives.... then the day before the courte date, club him in the legs like a baby seal. Don't be seen of course.


Next!

 

plead guilty...i dun see anyway around it...unless you wanna hire a $4000 lawyer

 

but if i plead guilty, why not just mail in the fine and save myself the trouble of going to court?

the only hope being if the cop doesnt show?

what would happen if i were to plead not-guilty

 

if not guilty you would need to defend yourself or get a great lawyer....and still you must get a good judge

i've seen people get out of wreckless speeding but thats easy with calibration tests

 

no contest, why not take a class? It wont show up on your license then. Pay the fine, take a class. That's how it works in FL.

 

hmmm.. anyone know if you can take a class to have the incident removed from your record in the MD/VA area? (i live in md but ticket was issued in va)

 

call city hall....

and was it an illegal u-turn?? if so, pay for it [with cash or class if possible]

 

illegal uturn = making a uturn at an intersection where theres a sign saying "no uturn" h:

 

ask "fourthgenhatch" -- his brother is ALWAYS in trouble with dah man. also ask BDI, he might know.
