A:
They're probably not going to reduce it for you. And you might get some jail time. You haven't approached at the correct way. There's a better way to approach that. But honestly, a case like that requires good legal representation because you've got a pretty bad driving record and you're more than double the speed limit.
You should be prepared for 1 to 10 days in jail and a license suspension without an attorney.

A: You need to talk with a lawyer that is familiar with the court/judges in that jurisdiction. In may parts of Virginia, going twice the speed limit with a -11 driving record can result in you losing your driving privileges and even going to jail.
