What is the name of your state? Virginia
I was pulled over on the 4th of July, 2005 for reckless driving. I was going 80 in a 55 (I-264). This is my first offense of any kind ever, and I'm wondering what kind of punishment I can expect. I just want to pay whatever fines necessary and move on with my life. I've heard there'll be anywhere from 120-300 dollars in fines plus court costs. Obviously I'll need the chance to get the cash together at any rate, the court date is August 11th. Also, I expect the judge isn't going to be in the mood for my "excuse" that I'd been up for 24 hours for the Navy and was a little tired and distracted by thoughts of my girlfriend, so I expect I'll just keep my mouth shut and "yes sir, no sir" my way through it. How bad off am I?
