In VA, both those speeding incidents above would be reckless driving tickets. Which is a class 1 misdemeanor, upon which you're either arrested and taken to jail during the stop or you're issued a non-waivable summons (ie, you MUST show up to court). $500-1000 fine and up to 1 year in jail. At 90+ in FFX, Arlington, or PWC they will put you in jail overnight.
Most of the time you can't even go the speed limit cause of traffic, so it's not a concern. But, if you're from outta town, don't go >=20mph over speed limit or >=80mph EVER. The VSP lie, wait, and prey on out-of-state people that don't know this law.
You've been warned!
