Speeding Ticket

So a couple days ago, I was caught speeding a fair amount over the limit. This is my Second speeding ticket in my driving history. Well, on the ticket, where it says how fast I was going, and in what zone, under it are 5 letters. This is a Nebraska ticket so im not sure if their all universal in every state or not.
The letters are V A C R M. He has R and M circled. What do those letters stand for?
Just curious, if anybody could lend me some info

I would if I was more concerned. Im just curious to what they stand for. Seeing anytime its a speeding violation, one of the letters are always circled.

My GUESS is he got you on Radar, and it is a Misdemeanor because you were 20+ over the limit.

Traffic laws and penalties vary greaty by jurisdiction. You know how much you were over and in what jurisdiction. You can probably find the relevant statutes on the internet to see what your maximum fine is (If M is for Misdemeanor, that COULD mean possible jail time in some jurisdictions if they throw the book at you).

Having another recent violation might raise the stakes as far as your fine & license status.

Definitely seems like a code for how the officer caught you.

I'll guess V is for Visual; A is for Aircraft, R is for Radar, and M is for Misdemeanor. Maybe C is for Car (i.e. they paced you in the squad car).

That makes the most sense. Seeing he did catch me by radar, and it was a Misdemeanor.

M could be measured mile as well. Could also be Moving violation.

I got tagged on Tuesday last week. I'm doing the driving school online right now to get it dropped. Then today, I was with a coworker and we decided to drive down into this old trailor park (paved road, land was for sale). We drive till the road ends, turn around, and there is a cop. I figured out the problem though...

Reckless motion, got it.

Is reckless only given over a certain speed?
