Gauley Bridge, West Virginia Speed Traps

On Nov 19 I got a ticket they told me I had 30 days to pay or my operators would be suspended. I went to town hall on Dec. 18 with $150.00 in change to pay my ticket. They refused to take my payment. In doing so they violated The Coinage Act of 1965, specifically section 31 U.S.C. 5103 entitled “Legal Tender.” I had an attorney call their attorney and he said I could pay it on Monday. Well, I drove down there and they were closed because of a power outage. Well it’s been over 30 days. I’m waiting to see if my operators will be suspended because of this violation. I am also waiting to hear from the prosecuting attorny to see if there will be any action taken against the parties who violated my rights or is the law only for certain people? In closing, gather up your change!
I love this country.

Small town with 25 mph limit. Tickets given for 29 mph are $150.00 The officer does you a favor by not putting points on your license.This is so no one really fights it in court.

Be aware.we went camping at summersville.3 in our group alone got tickets.they will ticket you at one mile an hour over.150 dollar tickets.stay out of this town.go around if possible.they will ticket any one regarles off situation.only give cautions to their own.

The officer said he clocked me at 35 in a 25 the fine is 150 dollars that is really high stakes for a 66 year old on disabilty ss that has not had a ticket in 25 years.

Turning into Gauley Bridge off Rt. 60 the speed limit sign is located behind the Railroad Bridge and can not be seen until it is too late. Speed drops to 25 mph. Minimum fine $150.00. Out-of-town plates? watch out!
