I went through this in Fairfax, VA. I was caught on the Dulles toll road for doing more that 20 over the limit. Trust me, you are about to be in a world of pain. Reckless driving is a misdemeanor in Virginia and can have serious consequences, including jail time, massive fines, and license suspension. However, there are things you can do to minimize the pain.
First, you need a lawyer in the jurisdiction that knows the judges and the police officers in the area. I don't know anyone in Front Royal but this is absolutely critical. Bringing a lawyer in from the outside is not going to be as helpful. Once you have a lawyer, they are going to ask you to do a few things and you should follow all of their instructions. I had a speedometer calibration which didn't help. I attended driving classes for two full weekends which were expensive and painful. I did many weekends of community service and was able to secure letters from the organizations to prove my attendance. I also had a stack of personal references from friends and community leaders that basically said I was normally a good person but made a mistake in this case. In the interim, I sold the car, a 911 Carrera 4S. This wasn't required, but it was nice to show that I was driving my pickup instead of a sports car. Of course, I neglected to mention that I sold the Porsche to buy an AMG E55, but never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
So on my court date, my lawyer told me that there was a chance that I might have to spend the night in jail. I came dressed in a suit, was completely professional, and had the stack of paperwork showing the driving course completion, community service work, personal references, and the sale of the car. Of probably 5-6 people there that day for reckless driving I was the only one who had done anything like this. My attorney talked with the police office before I was called up and he agreed that I had done enough for atonement and would say as much to the judge. When I went up to the bench, it took all of five minutes for the judge to reduce the charge from a misdemeanor to a simple ticket. The ticket wasn't cheap but at least it wasn't a conviction. Every single other person who appeared that day for reckless driving was convicted.
I hope this helps! Like I said, this isn't going to be easy but there is a chance that if you put in the effort that you can walk out without spending any time in jail or having your license suspended. It was worth it to me to do that effort.
