Business Description
Reckless driving in Virginia is a serious traffic offense that goes beyond a simple speeding ticket or moving violation. Classified as a Class 1 misdemeanor, it can result from driving 20 mph over the speed limit, exceeding 85 mph regardless of the posted limit, or engaging in other dangerous driving behaviors such as racing, improper passing, or failing to yield. Convictions can carry severe penalties, including hefty fines, a suspended driver’s license, points on your driving record, increased insurance rates, and even potential jail time. Given the significant consequences, it's essential to understand the laws and consider consulting a traffic attorney to protect your rights and mitigate the impact of a reckless driving charge.
