Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia

My boyfriend received a reckless driving ticket doing 66 in a 45 in Virginia. The speed limit in that area goes from 60 to 45. He thought it was still 60 mph. Is there any way we can plead not guilty in court and get it lowered from reckless to just a 6 mph over the speed limit ticket?

The defendant should seek to speak with the prosecutor assigned to his case before court

begins on the day scheduled for his hearing.and make his case to this person for a reduction in the

reckless driving charge to one involving a speed infraction.

However, if the prosecutor refuses your boyfriend's overture for a reduction in the

charge, he should then consider requesting a continuance in the case to allow

for additional time for him to retain the services of an attorney to represent him

in this criminal misdemeanor matter,
