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.
