Are you fighting a reckless driving speeding violation in Virginia? As you may have already found out, speeding tickets for reckless driving are no small matter in Virginia. In fact, by going over 80 mph, or any speed 20+ over the speed limit is classified as a misdemeanor offense, the same as a DUI. You can lose your license, or even go to jail for such an offense. Not to mention, the penalties for reckless driving speeding in Virginia can not only hurt your record, but they can hurt your pockets as well.
Reckless driving speeding is when “a person shall be guilty of reckless driving who drives a motor vehicle on the highways in the Commonwealth (i) at a speed of 20 miles per hour or more in excess of the applicable maximum speed limit or (ii) in excess of 80 miles per hour regardless of the applicable maximum speed limit.” Credit: vacode.org
An individual charged with reckless driving speeding can stand the chance of having their license suspended, be charged a fine up to $2,500, potential jail time, and also have their insurance premiums increase, or possibly, have their insurance coverage terminated all together.
