Ok, here is the deal...at 4:30am this morning myself, my family, and a few guests left for the beach. I was driving my parents 04 altima with my girlfriend, my brother, and his girlfriend. Around 9:00am I was casually driving in the fast lane behind a dodge pickup truck, going through Virginia. All of a sudden the dodge pickup swerves into the right lane and slammes on its brakes. I look over to see a cop on the side of the road, then pulling out onto the highway. He proceeded to pull me over. When he walked up to the car he came to the driverside door and just stood there. He didn't say anything, look into the car, or ask for my drivers license and registration. This continued for a few moments..then I assumed he wanted my license and registration, which I then proceeded to give him. He then tells me that I was driving 85mph and rudely asks me why I was driving that speed. I told him that I was going to the beach with my family and lost track of my parents who I was following(which was completely true). I also told him that I didn't know where I was going and honestly wasn't paying attention to my speed. He then rudely and semi-angrily asks me "why 85mph!?" He then turned and went back to his cruiser. After a long time he came back to my car with what I assumed would be a ticket. Instead it was a paper saying that I needed to appear at court, in VA 4hrs from where I live, on a certain date, no ticket. It turns out I was driving 85mph in what was a 60mph zone. He then told me that it was mandatory that I attend this court session, depite the fact that it was sooo far away. This confused me so I asked again that I wasn't getting but a mandatory court appearance and he rudely told me that I had to attend. After this he said "dont get hit when you pull back onto the highway" and went back to his cruiser. I don't understand, I have a clean record and was polite as possible but he was still not lient or even polite to me. I understand that I am completely at fault, nobody else, but I am pissed that I am now going to have to take off a day of work and drive 8hrs+ round trip to go to court for a ticket. What are your guys opinions on what I should do or what I can do and what I can expect in court. Thanks...I needed to rant somewhere about this.
