I'm guessing the guy who got 10 days was doing over 90 in a place like Chesapeake.
that's what I want to do honestly... just plea to an improper driving. I just don't want to have the reckless driving on my record, since insurance will go up. I asked the State Trooper how much reckless driving tickets run, and he says usually around $240 or $250... I don't know about that though. I mean, he wasn't really that much of an asshole or he was out to get me, he was just doing his job.
