I got a ticket for reckless driving in VA. No speed was quoted but I later found out that I was cited for changing two lanes without signaling and travelling at a "high rate of speed".
No fine was listed on the ticket and I was just told to appear in court on the court date. Apparently reckless driving can land you up to a $2500 fine and a year in jail in VA (which had me sh!tting bricks for a while). Ended up not retaining a lawyer and went to court with the hope that my otherwise clean driving record would get me some leniency.
Walked away with a $250 fine + court costs and 30 day suspension.
