I know so many people who have paid their time by going to jail on the weekends.  The writer in this piece only got the weekend, which was a pretty sweet deal.  A co-worker got 1 month, but the judge was "nice" since he's the single provider for his family (wife is a SAHM to their SN son) and let him serve his days by doing Fri-Sun in jail.  Another friend's daughter got reckless for doing 80 in a 70 on her way back to college.  They went in with a lawyer and she fared much better with a hefty fine and points on her license plus being sentenced to two driving classes.  It helped that she had a clean driving record and wasn't going over 80.

I remember when my brother was a teen and got reckless for swerving to miss a deer and ran off the road.  There was no damage to his car or any property and he wasn't speeding, but a policeman had been following a few cars back and pulled over and ticketed him.  Yeah, that's reckless in VA.  Going off the road, even with no damage and not speeding.  My parents didn't really realize how serious it was and kind of did an *eyeroll* small town VA police thing.  The judge ended up suspending his license for 6 months and he had to take a driving course that was extremely hard to get into.  He was on a waiting list for months even to get into the class.  A friend (laywer) told us afterwards that we should have just asked him to accompany us because judges go harder on teen boys but tend to ease up if they have representation.  Lesson learned.  Lawyer up for your son.      [/quote]
