Virginia Reckless Driving by Speeding Defense Attorney
In the state of Virginia, speeding is taken very seriously. Driving 20 miles per hour over the speeding limit can result in a misdemeanor charge of reckless driving. A misdemeanor reckless driving charge is more than a simple speeding ticket. It is a criminal charge that carries with it the possibility of jail time and other serious criminal penalties.
A person may be charged with reckless driving in Virginia for many types of dangerous driving. Examples of reckless driving may include:
- Driving with faulty brakes
- Passing a stopped school bus
- Racing
- Inattentive driving
- Failure to maintain proper speed for adverse road conditions
- Driving 20 MPH over the limit
- Driving 80 MPH in any speed zone
