Reckless Driving
Under Virginia law, exceeding the speed limit by 20 mph or going more than 80 mph in a 65 mph zone is classified as reckless driving.
Reckless driving in Virginia is classified as a class one misdemeanor, which is a criminal offense transferrable to your home state. A speeding ticket is normally punishable by fines of $5 per mile over the posted speed limit. However, the maximum penalty for reckless driving is $2,5000 plus a six month loss of your Virginia driver's license and 12 months in jail. The charge can also result in increased points on your driving record and increased insurance premiums. With so much on the line, it is wise to turn to attorneys who are dedicated to getting the best possible result for you.
