Ticket sucked. Reckless driving 82mph in a 55mph. Haven't found out the details of how much the ticket is and if I have to show up in court.
But I did find out this from the DMV:

Damn reckless driving ticket stays on your driving record for 11 years!!!
This sucks! I will definitely think twice now before hitting it on the straights on VA roadways.
MIR and VIR for me now if I want to go fast and get the adreline rush.

) because he went past Amber and pointed to me to pull over but then stopped in the right lane and got Amber to. We pulled into a old church parking lot and thats when Jesse took that picture. Pretty funning barring the circumstance .

Felony or misdemeanor! I hope it is a misdemeanor and not a felony. I may just go to court and see if the judge will drop it to like 74mph speeding ticket so I don't get a reckless for being over 20mph or anything over 80mph.

Regardless, take a driver improvement class ASAP (www.driveslow.com). Yes it will ruin your saturday (8 hour course) but it will all but erase your ticket (takes off 5 points -- reckless is 6 points).
The reason why I say "ASAP" is because if the DMV/Court makes you take it you don't get any points taken off (Voluntary=5points, DMV/Court requirement = 0 points taken off). Plus it will look good on your behalf when you go to court. As long as you don't have any recent tickets they'll probably waive the reckless part and just charge you for speeding.

Do what I do when cops flash their lights, if there are 2 of you, one of you runs and pulls off at the nearest crowded parking lot and HIDE! It's BS to pull 2 people over, one of you can still make it out alive.
i had my radar detector on when juan and dave got pulled over but unfortunatly i had gotten stuck behind another car while dave and juan got around it. no cell signal and juan (being the ricer he is) managed to throw his 2way out of his window around a corner but i was picking up a full band just before they got pulled.

yea state troopers showed up at the back of the pack shortly after you guys had done like 4-5 runs, but by then you guys were long gone.. after that the cops just "cruised" with us for a while.. luckily no one did anything stupid

Thanks.
So your saying I should take the class before the court date. Alright then. How did you find out about this driver improvement class? I already took one for an accident I was in a couple of years back but I got a list of names from the Prince William District court. Is this place legit and will Rappahannock county accept this you think?

So you took one a couple years back because you were "required" to by DMV or Court? Or did you volunteer?
Reason I'm asking is you can only take a "volunteer" (5 points off) driver improvement class once every two years. But if you were "required" to take it, then that doesn't count as volunteering. I'm guessing you were required to take it. Which means you should be in the clear to get 5 points taken off.

Chris we should take this class together so we won't be quite as bored. We should make Jesse come to as moral support
