I also wonder why you are trying to "beat" the ticket.
You are guilty. End of story. Take your medicine like a man and pay up.
If you were racing on an empty interstate, I don't think this is so serious. You mentioned a weigh station, so I assume this was a highway and high speeds on those are not such a sin. That you were baited into it is slightly troublesome.

Hmm...I never saw this thread.
I have MUCH experience in VA with tickets.
Don't speed on the 267 Toll Road or I66. If you feel the need to go ballistic, choose 395 or the Beltway. I know everywhere the cops sit on 66 and most places on 267. They tend to congregate there b/c there are more places to hide.
However, 66 from 28 to Mannassas, you can open it up. Just be sure to watch in the median gaps.
I got off in Alexandria 95/55 with a $250 fine only. However, I hired an attorney. I've seen people jailed in Fairfax for that. Arlington is the best place to get busted because the prosecutors will talk to you freely. I've pled every charge down, to be honest. Plead to improper, pay the fine, always in Ckt Court on appeal. I cannot remember even showing up for a ticket date for speeding. Just not even worth the waste of time. I do a no-show, then offer to pay the District Court fine on an improper charge to the DAs. They only want to get their money, really. That's all any state particularly cares about.
