Q: I was pulled over for going 83 in a 70 in VA. What will I likely get in court?
Was charged with reckless driving. We had been driving all day from NC to VA looking for an apartment due to a military move. I was exhausted and just hadn't paid attention to my speed. This is my first offense and I have court on Monday and I'm very nervous. I have to bring my kids because my husband will be at doctor's. What will I likely get in court?
