Re: Driver Improvement Courses:
I got a reckless by speeding ticket June of last year in Loudon County leaving chik one night and the sherriff said he clocked me at 102/55. I had +1 on my driving record before I got the ticket. I had to get a lawyer because of the speed which cost me $1500 and took a Driving Improvment class at NOVA and passed it so I got the +4 pts because from what the intructor said you only get a total of +5 on your license. I got the case continued once cause your granted an automatic continuance the first time around, however the second time I had a lady judge the one my lawyer said we didn't want, we pleaded with the prosecutor and if I served 1 more day in jail the fine would be lower. So all in all i paid like $300 for a fine got like months in jail with 53 days suspended which left me seven days to serve however you only serve half that so I served from Friday night to Tuesday morning. Wasn't that much fun but you gotta do what you gotta do and I took it like a man and served my time, definately won't do that again, I can't afford it and it isn't worth it.

Re: Driver Improvement Courses:
I thought the max in VA was +5 points? Back in 2003 I got a 152 in 55 ticket on 66 heading back to DC. ( I was on predidential duty and was not allowed more than a hour from DC and I was in warrenton) SO I hauled ass down 66 got caught by a ffx cop. He not only towed my bike on the spot, didnt care that there was a anthrax alarm, discarded my credentials, and left me standing on the side of 66 but gave me a ticket for 182 in a 55 not 152 in a 55 like he said in courtSO... longer story short I was let off of my ticket re-imbursed for my "storage" charge by ffx police from willow run or whoever they were that towed me but gave me a " public apology". It was a good result from a shitty stupid thing I did.

Re: Driver Improvement Courses:
+1
I got a ticket on 95 doing 82 in a 60 in a highway safety corridor. I had a pretty steep fine ($600) but I didn’t get my license suspended or anything. The judge did tell me if I got another ticket in the next year she would suspend my license.
Sure enough I got a ticket in Fairfax six months later. It was 20+ over but the cop gave me failure to obey a highway sign. The judge summoned me to court like a year later lol and suspended my license for 3 months I think. I don’t really remember though because I still drove every day.
