Reckless Driving

In the Commonwealth of Virginia, being charged with reckless driving is a significant event. Because it is classified as a Class 1 misdemeanor, conviction can lead to incarceration for up to 12 months, with a fine as high as $2,500. You may also lose your right to drive in the state.

A reckless driving charge can be issued for any of the following driving behaviors:

  • Speeding in excess of 80 mph
  • Speeding 20 mph or more above the posted speed limit
  • Driving too fast for current road conditions
  • Racing
  • Passing or overtaking an emergency vehicle
  • Passing a stopped school bus
  • Passing on the crest of a hill
  • Passing at a railroad crossing
  • Passing or driving two vehicles abreast
  • Failing to signal
  • Driving with an obstructed view or defective brakes
  • Causing a collision with another car

If you are involved in a significant accident, one driver is almost certainly going to be charged with reckless driving. If you seek to defend yourself on reckless driving charges without a lawyer, you may make matters worse. This is one time you need to rely on a professional.
