Good thing I don't have any driving offenses (yet.)

Great site! They showed my ticket for radar detector--dismissed. A virtual impossibility in VA as simple possession is prima facia proof of guilt. One of my better triumphs in traffic "court."The above site is pretty cool. You guys know you can log on to the courts and get case information. Try this for size if you already did not know about this. It works for all states that I have found..........

Slow down, Rocket! Jeez!Very incomplete, I think because it's only getting records from some jurisdictions.
For example, both of my speeding tickets I got from the Oregon State Police showed up from the early 1990's, but NONE of the other 7 speeding tickets and 5 other moving violations from city & county Law Enforcement from the same time periodshow up. So they must have only gathered information from our State Police.
And yes, it's all public information. I'm not sure if I like a company putting that all out there for free on the internet, though. I'd rather if someone wanted to look up my DOB they'd have to work harder to get it, like actually go down to the courthouse & lookup the records there.

All that in 2-1/2 years! How did you not lose your license! :shock: I remember those days of stupidity and how long I drove being only one ticket away from losing mine. In SC now six traffic tickets in the past five years is grounds for refusal to issue a CWP. Argue all you want about how that is unfair but it is the rules. :cuss:I DID! Finally. It took almost losing my license to do it. Back when I was 21, I had 9 speeding tickets, 2 other moving violations (running stop sign and improper lane change) and 3 non-moving violations (failure to change address, excessive noise, bad headlight), all within a 2 1/2 year period.
Luckily my careless driving ticket got dropped or I might have had a bad driving record. As it was, my auto insurance was so expensive I had to start riding a motorcycle to afford the insurance for a couple of years.
After the last traffic judge I got to "visit" with, I finally realized that my privilege to drive was at stake, and finally started sticking close enough to the law.
That was 15 years ago. My record has been squeaky clean ever since (except for that suspected terrorist event that got me a littering ticket a few years ago, but that wasn't a traffic infraction )
Sounds like johnnyb is almost in the same situation I was in.
johnnyb! Slow down before it's too late!
