Default Well this sucks

It was one of the first nice days here in Va. Was doing down the highway, almost no cars, enjoying the sun and the scenery. Just then i notice an unmarked trooper looking strait at me from the side. I always for some reason let off the gas every time i see a cop regardless of what i'm doing, and look down at my speed. 80mph+....f*ck....get pulled over, tells me that i could lose my license and he could take me to jail right now. Ended up just getting a ticket for reckless driving at 93mph. Apparently he was pacing me. It sucks cause i wasnt even tucked in, i was just going for a ride and didnt even think to look down at my speed. So i went to court last week with my lawyer. Told my case to the judge about my clean record and how i need my license to get to and from work. The good news is i not going to jail, he made sure i knew that because at the speed i was going, he usually puts ppl in for at least the weekend. So i ended up getting reckless driving by speed which is a misdemeanor, $200 court fine, Va civil fee of $1050(its in the Va courts right now getting appealed), 90 days restricted license, plus court cost.

So i will be missing the first part of the riding season this year. So guys, when you are out and about. please make sure you pay attention to everything around you, including yer speedometer, regardless if you think you are just cruising along. Dont end up like me.

That sucks man. Don't mess around here in VA. Espically 64 and 264 in va beach. I have never had a problem only got pulled once but got lucky I actually stop in front of another cop that had somebody else pulled over. Long story on that one.

I get my ass in the carpool lane on the highway and will run about 65ish 70 on the speed o. I see some people that get pissed behind me but they usually pass. Becarful in Va beach at night espically on the highway lots of little honda's and things want to race you. It can get frustrating becuae you want to blow by them but you got to keep you self under controll.
