HOW MUCH HOW MUCH TELL US!

I got a warning about 3 months ago, first pull-over in about 7 years. He sent me off with "nice color." :D
80 in a 55. VA laws makes that a mandatory court appearance. :/

Did you also get reckless driving along with that? I know some states it's added when above 20 mph over posted.

They most likely used a precut kit and didn't wrap the edges.

Actually, looks better than Xpel on parts of mine. The shop I took it to were nice guys and did great work, but now 1.5yrs later it seems the edges are peeling and catching some dirt and makes them visible.

Is that normal, or does that suggest they didn't wrap the panels properly?

Anything over 20 in VA is almost always reckless driving. I'd get a lawyer to reduce it. It's well worth the $$
Which county did they get you in?

That sucks...hopefully they let you plea it down to a lesser charge.
I hope so. I'll be honest with the judge and just say that I recently got the car back and was out enjoying the nice weather. I was passing a pickup when I crested the hill and saw him, then immediately pulled over.

Did you also get reckless driving along with that? I know some states it's added when above 20 mph over posted.
Yes. in VA anything 20 over the posted limit, or anything over 85. The trooper could have reduced it on the spot but was by the book the whole time. He did say that the judge in that county generally reduces reckless tickets down based on the conditions and driving record. And as I said before, its been nearly 12 years since I was last pulled over.

I mean. That's a lot 🤷‍♂️
Certainly wasn't a little. Completely my fault, and I'll accept the consequences.

Take a Certified Driving Improvement course before court. Take that certificate along with your DMV record assuming its a +5. And like you already have take responsibility, its a rare trait.

Or hire an attorney and take their advice.
He can do that too. I have +5 points too and I’ve gotten my reckless reduced to defective equipment. Didn’t need a lawyer nothing. I was just honest and asked for it to be reduced & 💥… those points help a lot around here. Had a good 👩‍⚖️ Just women looking out for each other… (kidding)

Slow down peeps. Today was my last day speeding.:giggle:

Installed Vland clear tail lights. Ordered them from Vland-official on Friday afternoon and they were on my doorstep today. Can't beat that. Fitment isn't the best, but you have to be up close to notice it. I'll see if there is any adjustment in them tomorrow. I ran out of daylight

And for those wondering, yes they're DOT approved
