If you completed a Virginia driving school as part of the PBJ then that will show up. If there is no conviction then it should not appear. If there is a conviction for anything, then it will be reported. But if it was dismissed, and you did not do driving school then nothing would show up.

MD law will determine if it's considered reckless or a misdemeanor, but I'm pretty sure it's not. It should come in as speeding 20 mph or more which is still a 6 demerit point violation just like reckless.

You should pay the fine/costs and the reinstatement fee to the Virginia dmv so you are able to drive in Virginia again. If you failed to pay that then your privilege to drive here was suspended by law.

There are usually procedures to contest the ticket and that information is often on the ticket itself.

In Virginia that's not reckless driving. It must be 20 mph or more over the limit or over 80. So 81/70 is reckless even though it's 11 over but in a 25 zone it would need to be 45 mph to be reckless.

Usually this means that you do not need to appear in court and you can prepay. If you do this you are pleading guilty and you will be found guilty and all of the associated consequences (insurance increase, points, etc) will attach so I personally almost never think it is a good idea to plead...

I was not in the highway. But Inside companies property to pick-up load for the first time in that place.
When I went in to pick up load I've noticed a sign that said, "cars only", it was too late to back up. A 48 ft. flatbed can cause max damage, especially on rush hour.... View More

Not enough details. The cost of a summons depends on what you are charged with (this governs your potential range of punishment) and what the facts of your case are, and where you got the charge.
For instance a car club name banner.

Most likely all of those tickets will show up on your Virginia driving record and you will have a negative point balance. You can do a voluntary driving school which will give you five good points, and that will help offset all of the points you are getting.
