Reckless Driving in Virginia

Virginia defines reckless driving as "operating a motor vehicle at a speed or in a manner so as to endanger the life, limb, or property of any person." This may encompass many different types of driving behaviors, including:

• Driving 20 mph or more over the posted speed limit
• Driving 80 mph or more, even in areas where the posted speed limit is 70 mph
• Passing or failing to yield to an emergency vehicle
• Improper passing
• Changing lanes without signaling
• Driving too fast for road conditions
• Racing

Driving recklessly involves more than a mere traffic violation ticket. It is classified as a class 1 misdemeanor. Many people, especially those from out of state, think that they have merely been given a speeding ticket or have committed other minor traffic offenses. The fact is a conviction may result in a $2,500 fine, a six-month suspension of your license and points added to your driver's record, which can result in a longer suspension and up to one year in jail. If you are charged with a child in the car, you may also face child neglect charges. That is why having experienced legal representation is important.
