Just be thankful you didn't get that ticket in Virginia. Just a few notes:

If you are cited for 20mph over the speed limit . . . you may be facing the very serious charge of reckless driving. In Virginia this is a criminal violation and a mandatory court appearance. The judge has the option of fining you up to $2500 plus one year in jail. Jail time is unusual but does happen.
If you are a VA driver, you will be subject to the reckless driving $1050 surcharge payable to the VA DMV on top of the court fine . . .
