Not going to court is a very bad idea, take a state approved online driving course, your lawyer will use this and other factors to get it reduced, he may also recommend you get your own speedometer calibrated, if its off this will also help you. Virginia state police are some of the most decent and professional police I've come across throughout the country. In va anything greater than 15mph over the posted speed limit can be wreckless driving, automatic court date not just a cash ticket.
