It means it'd be a really good idea to talk to a lawyer practicing in
the locale where the ticket was issued, who can give you some idea what
the local judge is likely to do (it really varies by locality and also
how serious the alleged violation).  Sounds like a fairly high-octane
traffic ticket, no guarantee of getting off with just a fine (at least
in theory, there could be some jail time -- that's from its being a
misdemeanor rather than just an infraction).  

I don't have the number, but the Virginia State Bar in Richmond last I
heard had a lawyer referral service that can point you to local lawyers
who do traffic cases.
