I AM SO SICK OF THIS STUPID BACKWATER HICK STATE FUCKING OVER DECENT HONEST HARDWORKING CITIZENS FOR NO REASON WITH THEIR ARBITRARY LAWS AND STEALING MONEY FROM THEM. IT IS NOT MY FAULT THAT THERE IS A GIANT DEFICIT IN THIS STATE. I EARNED MY FUCKING MONEY, STOP ASS RAPING ME FOR IT YOU MONEY-GRUBBING PRICKS!
now that I got that out
In February I got a speeding ticket in the Rockville area of Maryland for going 51 in a 35. The officer was nice enough so he lowered my speed to 44 and said it dropped the fine to $65 and made it so there would be no points off on my license. Well apparently he neglected to notice that I was from the shithole state of VA and that we have backwards arbitrary laws.
Despite the officer and the ticket he gave me explicity stating that I only had to pay the $65 fine and that NO POINTs were taken off my license, I just recieved a letter from the DMV ******s in Richmond stating otherwise.
The pricks say that I now have to register for an 8-hour driver improvement course and pay an additional $75 fee or my license will be suspended infdefinatley. AND that I have 3 points taken off of my license b/c of the speeding.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It says that any person age 18 or 19 that goes between 1 and 9 mph over the speed limit has to do this!!!!!!!!
WHAT THE FLYING FUCK KIND OF RETARDED ABITRARY SHIT IS THAT!!!!!!!!!???? It sounds like they tailored the law specifically to my case so they could get more money out of me!!
I HATE VIRGINIA
If I can come up with a cohesive statement, I'm really considering writing my congressman. This is ludicrous and insulting.
I am a broke student. I don't have $75 lying around, nor do I have time in my schedule to attend some class that is probably an hour away in Reston or something.
This was my first offense, other than that speeding ticket my driving record has been perfect for 3 years.
jesus fucking christ I hate this fucking state.

Or Florida for that matter. God im still trying to clear my record up in Florida. When i moved away from Florida of course im going to drop my insurance coverage in that state.....well the dmv in Florida requires you to prove that you moved and if you didnt they suspend your DL there and make you pay a $250 fine.....fucking bull shit I have to pay this fine before i can drive in that state again.

damn sucks dude.. this may be a moot point, but do you have the officer's name and badge number on the ticket? is there anyway you can call the police station and see if he would be able to help you out at all.
I dunno, seems like a far out scheme, but hey, maybe the officers from MD can grease the wheels of the beaurocrats of VA.
and blame VA DMV.. not the state.. cos i live here and I love it

I was thinking about that, but I can't find my copy of the ticket anywhere. I think I might've thrown it away after I paid the fine, b/c I thought it wasn't neccessary anymore
state makes the laws and the DMV carries them out along with the police...I hate the DMV too

I got a 71 in 55 and had to take the 8 hour course. Its long but not that bad. I had it with a cool guy who was like "I know you dont wanna be here, so i'll make it fun." It wasn't necessarily fun, but it helped pass the time.
I would call up the frederick police and ask them to look up your license #, and see who was the officer who wrote you the ticket.
Thats what i'd do at least.
Good luck with it, the law is a bitch =/
