Default 3rd...that's what people out here normally drive. They usually only get

you for reckless if your "really" speeding or have been drinking.

Default tell me about it.. cost me $800+ total to reduce a 86/55

I drove up to the country courthouse in New Kent County and asked for the closest lawyer's office. I paid him $250 and he promptly called his friend, the prosecutor. I also paid for a speed calibration and to "fix" some faulty equipment. The judge lowered the offense to something like 70/65 but somehow managed to raise the fine. I had to pay because a reckless offense will kill your insurance rates and stays on your record for 11 yrs. It's BS to equate speeding on a smooth straight highway with real reckless driving.

Sounds like it's time for a V1. Most everyone in VA runs them despite the law...
