If you're young and it's a first offense, it may be dropped to a regular speeding charge. When I was 21, I got a reckless ticket for 68 in a 45 in Goochland. No lawyer, and it was dropped to a regular speeding charge as it was my first offense. I definitely haven't sped like that since (I'm 29 now), and this was a different county than you. Worth noting that speeding/reckless charges aren't really a one-size fits all deal, though.

If you have other speeding charges within the last few years, it could stay as reckless, but who knows. Good luck, and slow down out there.

Reply to comment by Ew_fine in Neighbor put up a fence by Inume91

Am surveyor. Deal with fences over lines all the time. My assumption? It was either built while he was at work, so he just came home one day to it being there, or it's possible he had not ever actually had a survey before, so he had no proof where the line was and didn't want to start a spat over what would've been just his gut feeling.

Thus, he hired a surveyor after the fact who discovered the fence was over the property line and that his gut feeling was right all along. It's worth noting that most people aren't hostile, even when confronted with the fact that they built a fence wrong. But the ones who are unfriendly about it obviously are because they're generally unhinged anyway.

My response when a rare neighbor does disagree with my line markings is just "hire your own surveyor, but they're gonna find the exact same thing I did."

Turns out, they never want to pay $500-$800+ for their own survey, which is why their false interpretations about the lines exist in the first place.

I had just finished my senior year of high school when that happened, and one of my friends from HS told me he was on the lawnmower when the 'quake happened. He literally had no idea it happened until like an hour later (it was Powhatan, so we felt a pretty good tremor out that way). No idea how much it shook Henrico or Richmond tho.

My parents were devastated by the single lawn chair that had fallen over from the destruction.

You sound insulted. Wasn't insulting the fact that contractor dudes show up to Wawa. Funny enough, the line worker bucket truck fleets that clog up pumps at Wawa some mornings (not like they pump and immediately move) often block landscapers and other vehicles that require diesel to do their jobs, since the Westchester Wawa only has a few pumps that are diesel.
