Legal Question


I got a ticket for doing 80 in a 65 on I-81 in Smyth County Virginia. I have NC tags and I am aware that this is a notorious stretch of road for "trapping" out of state drivers. In fact, on my court date, every single traffic offense involves an out of state driver. I am certain that I was not doing 80, but I readily admit that I was doing 70-72. I want to fight the ticket out of general principal but word is that hiring an attorney in Smyth County as an out of state defendent is just stroking the system even more. Should I just pay the ticket and swallow the increased insurance costs?
