Hey, I live in VA. There is an extra fine for residents, but the reckless driving charge applies to
anyone driving in VA (resident or not). 80 mph + or 20 mph over the posted speed limit (with limited exceptions) is statutory reckless.
There is a hefty fine (and even jail time in some cases) for reckless, so $2500 is not unimaginable to me.
Where in VA was this? You need to retain an attorney if you can't make the court date.

I hired a lawyer to go in my place.
I got 85 in a 65 back in 2002 or 2003, good thing i was in the process of slowing down....
I was in college at the time in upstate NY and there was no way I was going to make the court date because of school.
My parents had to hire an attorney (broke *** college student, though i did pay them back during a summer job), I faxed a copy of my class schedule and student ID and the prosecutor had a hard on for the school i went to (RIT), so i got out of it with nothing more than a few hundred dollar speeding ticket, and lawyer fees.
Still virginia is FVCKING gay about speeders, they think they're on some sort of crusade from god.

When I drive from TX to PA, VA is arduous because I never go over 75mph there...
...as some of us close to Louisiana say about Louisiana: "It's like a foreign country". The same goes for Virginia.
