Speeding 20MPH over the limit, or over 80MPH no matter the speed limit, can be charged as Reckless Driving which is a criminal offense in Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Federal Courts. Reckless Driving is punishable with jail, a fine, and or suspension of your privilege to drive.

Distribution of Marijuana
