How did the stop go? Where the police cool with you or where they excessively angry/upset? Where you respectful to the police officers during the stop, and how did they clock you? Where in VA where you and was it a county cop or a trooper?

You definately need a lawyer, expect to pay probably minimum $750-$1000 for a good one. I was able to get a first time ticket reduced to improper driving (3 points) with a $500 fine. I was going 140+ in a 45mph zone. However the officers where unable to clock me and cited me for reckless general. I was very lucky, and needless to say can't imagine my speedo ever topping 100 again. Not only was I lucky to get the ticket lessened, I'm lucky to even be alive...

It mostly depends on how the cop feels about the situation, and your lawyer. I went to court fully expecting to lose my license for a long time, and fairly sure I would face jail time, but the cop was awesome and agreed to a plea with the prosecutor.

In Las Vegas your hiney would be sitting in the Clark County Jail for reckless driving facing prison time PLUS about a 3,000 ticket

Well...what if I had been on the road with my kids at that time? Think about that. Someone could have been on a long trip at that time of night and had their kids with them and you come along and wreck them.

How would you feel then? This is why there are laws.

According to this CNN report, in Virginia it's a fine of up to $2,500 and mandatory jail time.

You won't go to jail but you will get reckless driving added to your record, a huge fine and lose your license for a minimum 6 months (or until your 21, which ever is longer). Dumb dumb dumb, but it sounds like you learned your lesson.

The copy of the ticket which you received should have contact information for the court clerk's office to which the case is assigned. You may be able to pay the fines in lieu of going to court. Give them a call and see what you would have to pay.
