Reckless Driving: What It Can Cost You
Virginia is tough when it comes to traffic laws. Police officers may issue tickets for reckless driving, as opposed to just normal speeding, when offenders are going 20 miles per hour (or more) over the posted speed limit. This 20 mile-per-hour overage limit is much more stringent than many other jurisdictions.
Reckless driving charges in Virginia are categorized as “criminal” offenses, which can result—should you be convicted—in up to 12 months of jail time along with a $2,500 fine. Additionally, you may lose your driving privileges for up to a year.
In some cases, the officer may decide to impound your car on the spot if he or she gives you a ticket for driving recklessly.
How To Protect Yourself In A Reckless Driving Case
The likelihood that you’ll be convicted of reckless driving in Virginia can be mitigated by factors such as:
- Your driving record
- The weather and visibility at the time of citation
- Traffic conditions at the time of citation
- Your reason for speeding
While there may be other factors that may reduce and/or avoid a reckless driving conviction in Virginia, an experienced lawyer may be able to help make the process easier.
An Irving & Irving reckless driving attorney may help you by taking all factors into account as he or she prepares a thorough defense that aims to see the charges against you removed completely.
