Yeah, ditto on a couple of things. First off, VA nails those who speed on the interstates. It's particularly bad on North 95, just after crossing from North Carolina. They like to get 2-3 cops sitting in consecutive spots. You'll pass the first victim, thinking it's safe, and wham-o!
Second, get in touch with an experienced DUI/Reckless Driving lawyer located in the county of your offense. Good Ol' Boys Network is alive and well here. See if it can be bumped down to improper driving or simply speeding but not Reckless.
FWIW, even if the speed limit is 70, I believe anything over 81 is considered reckless driving.
