51 in a 30 zone. Why no, Mr. Officer, I wasn't aware I was doing that.

Failure to obey a sign won't put points on your license. Reckless Driving (+20 over the limit) is 6 points/11 years if they want to really push it.

I'd pay the $87 and drop a few pennies to your favorite wishing well/saint/potted plant.

Not quite... it's 6 points and *one* year...

The "11 years" is how long it stays on your driving record (most things disappear after 3 years).

IIRC, there's also a substantial fine (I want to say something close to $10K)

In addition +20 over in VA is a CRIMINAL offense. My one day fighting a ticket in FFx co court I saw a few reckless cases end with the offender escorted away in bracelets.
