What code section was he charged under?46.2-852? General Reckless or 46.2-862?Reckless by Speed? There are many others, but to be honest it would depend on the code section used and the evidence of said "reckless driving".

Ps. Court costs/ fees go way up in Circuit Court. The costs up in Circuit Court may just be more than your $100 fine/costs in General District Court...then add in the fine upon a conviction.
