My husband got a ticket for driving 85 on I-95. The speed limit is 65, and that makes the ticket worth 5 points! As such, he is required to take a driver improvement class.
Anyone ever successfully fight to reduce the penalty? He’s in his 50s, no other tickets for many years... |

| Not that you asked, but I'm fine with your husband getting a ticket for driving 85 on I-95. And also anybody else who drives that fast. |

| That’s a reckless driving citation correct? You may to seek a legal consult |

Isn't that automatic jail time?
Loss of license for a year? |

| I have not driven on 95 anywhere locally in 20 years that was not terribly congested. I can’t imagine even be able to go the speed limit. 85!!!! |

| If I remember from an earlier thread (you might want to search...if I remember, I'll try to check after my kids go to bed tonight), anything over 80 is considered a reckless driving issue and the points, driving class, etc are mandated. My recollection from the last time is that that person was not able to get out of the above even with a lawyer. |

| What does the ticket say he was charged with? |

| VA or MD? I'm guessing MD as in VA that's a court date and reckless driving charge. |

| Where was 95 so not congested that you could even go 85? |

| 95 is so dangerous. People shouldn’t drive that fast on 95. I got hit on 95 & it was completely the other driver’s fault. It took a year to recover from the injuries. Frankly I hope the reckless driving charge gets enforced. |
