Jesus. Please take care of yourself op. That's traumatic AF.

Idk if anyone remembers but a while back a man jumped off a bridge into traffic on 76n. I saw the scene, it was brutal. Didn't hit me until a couple days later and really fucked with me.

Anyway, talk to someone if you need and take care of yourself.

Thanks for being a good neighbor 💜❤️

I'm a lawyer (but I'm not your lawyer!), here's what I'd tell my friends: you're charged with a class one misdemeanor. Although jail time is highly unlikely at this speed, fines and your insurance premiums would make a conviction quite pricey. Also, do you plan on applying for jobs or housing that would ask about a criminal record? You really want to be disclosing a misdemeanor for something as dumb as reckless by speed? A local lawyer can normally plead this down to simple speeding or even a non-moving violation. You'll probably have to take a driver's course. That's worth it by my calculations.
