Reckless driving is a serious charge in Virginia, and it requires a serious defense. Unlike many states, a conviction for reckless driving in Virginia can carry severe penalties, such as the following:
- Up to 12 months in jail
- License suspension of up to six months
- Up to a $2,500 fine
- Six points on your driver's license
If you are charged with traveling at 90 miles per hour or higher, the Commonwealth's Attorney will almost certainly seek a jail sentence. In addition, the prosecutor will also frequently object to the issuance of a restricted license.
If you are facing reckless driving charges, your first step should be to secure the representation of an attorney who understands how to mount an effective defense against such a charge.
