I still had a mandatory court appearance, which I had a lawyer appear on my behalf and had the violation reduced.

20 over and they charged you with reckless? That is pretty ridiculous on their part, Ron.

News flash for you. In NC anything 80 or above is a mandatory trip to the magistrate. I know this how.... Well, I will not bore you with all the tale but a no $hit, he said to the 3 of us, "how much money you boys got" at 1230 am. That was the driver's bail money. The rest of the story can be told over a cigar and a bourbon. Most states I have lived in 20 over regardless as to teh speed limit is also reckless driving.

Wow....In Illinois, Statutory reckless driving, based on speed alone, is 40 MPH over the limit.
