Well, if he can afford the Veyron I'm sure he can afford the ticket. Doesn't it count as reckless driving at that point and not just speeding?

In most states it would, yes. Maybe the cop was feeling generous.

if you look at the top of the ticket, it's cited as a misdemeanor (not a traffic infraction) so it's definitely a reckless.

Well, at least he made good use of the car's performance... would have sucked if he got pulled over doing "only" 120 mph

I thought that reckless is a felony?

Even a typical police helicopter will get left in the dust by a Veyron. But if you own the car you pull over. A ticket for 210 MPH does not approach the shitstorm you'll face if you try to run and they get your plate number.

Umm...no, he was merely cited for exceeding the 65mph maximum speed limit.

Not reckless driving.
