People never cease to amaze me. A guy in Canada thought it would be cool to record the below video while flying along on his motorcycle. Not only is he weaving between cars (down the lane divider), but he also hits 185 mph! I’ve written before about posting things on the internet. It can definitely […]

Many of my reckless driving defense clients maintain active security clearances. In the Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, Stafford area, lots of folks either work for the government or for a federal contractor. And of course lots of people from the DC area receive reckless driving tickets while passing through our area on I-95. One major concern people […]
