IANAL, but I would just note that in VA they take reckless pretty seriously. They may reduce the fines/points on lesser infractions, but they tend to treat reckless as especially egregious. I would definitely talk to someone about this. I know a couple people who had high MPH tickets that were reckless in NoVA who both thought going in without a lawyer would be fine. Each one got screwed (and we are talking about the no lube up to your elbow type).
Now NoVA is different than Richmond, so I don't know how they handle it there.
