[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP's post is inaccurate -- it's three tickets totaling $760:

One for 11-15 over the speed limit
One for 16-20 over the speed limit
One stop sign violation

Even if there was an effort to impound vehicles or take away licenses, this person would never be a priority.[/quote]
It's not inaccurate. She said it's nearly a thousand dollars of tickets related to moving violations. $760 is nearly a thousand dollars and those are all moving violations. [/quote]

I agree with this poster. The tickets themselves were probably less than 150 each. There’s a total of 3. 
The rest are fines for non payment. [/quote]
Per the reddit poster who found them and posted a pic, they are:

11/29/2025 - Speeding 11-15 Over Limit - $200 
10/25/2025 - Running Stop Sign - $200 
07/24/2025 - Speeding 16-20 Over Limit - $360[/quote]

Virginia isn't going to lock up someone for that. You might need to retake the written exam. It's super easy to pass. I think you need a 85%. [/quote]
Why does everyone think we want people locked up? Even OP has said she doesn't want to see people sent to jail for this.

And the driver isn't from Virginia. They're Maryland plates. Not sure why everyone keeps citing Virginia.[/quote]

Probably because two-thirds of the drivers with the most outstanding tickets in DC are from Virginia, so we need to get Virginia drivers under control.[/quote]

Keep in mind a fair number of the Virginia tags were likely owned by people who live in Maryland. The post ran a story about that the other day.[/quote]

Sorry, I don't buy it. It actually works the opposite way, where VA drivers often try to dodge the car tax by registering their cars in MD. [/quote]
