It all depends on the judge. I was caught doing 88 in a 65 on I-66 (off of 81).. and it was my first offense. I payed a pretty hefty fine ($180 including court fee) , and then sentenced to driver improvement clinic. Once I completed the clinic, it was lowered to a 79 in a 65 which is just speeding. I did not waste my money on a lawyer. Good luck with it.
