Since the officer has no way of determining my speed, this can only leave the endangerment of life, limb, or property.

thus, since there was absolutely no traffic on the road, and the judge will have to assume i was going the speed limit, how could this be so?

furthermore i looked up some internet legal advice and if the officer cannot prove any of the above then i'm free.
An officer could give you a reckless for erratic lane changes, weaving in lanes, peeling out at a light and speeding etc.
any person who drives a vehicle on any highway recklessly

When you were in court for your other infractions previously, did you take time to listen to the other cases? If you have, you may notice that a lot of this depends on the judge's mood at the time, which officer is the one who nailed you, what you look like, how you dress, how you act, what your driving record is, and whether or not you are representing yourself (bad) or have an attorney (good). You want as many of those factors as possible to go in your favor at the same time.
Get a GOOD attorney (several people here can make recommendations) and have them coach you on how to handle the rest of it.

Get an attorney...In Fairfax, you can't plea bargain with the prosecutor without one, which is nonsense I know.
You can get reckless for not signaling, so they can give it to you for almost anything..The judge will almost always believe the cop...One of the previous posters is right..It all depends on the mood of the judge, the cop, there impression of you, lawyer, etc......
If you get a lawyer, you may be able to get it reduced to 'improper driving', which is a nothing ticket compared to reckless.
Good luck
