Defending Clients Against Reckless Driving Charges
In Virginia, reckless driving isn’t just a traffic ticket — it’s a criminal offense that can carry serious consequences including fines, license suspension, increased insurance premiums, and even jail time.
You can be charged with reckless driving for a variety of reasons, including speeding 20+ mph over the limit, driving over 85 mph regardless of the posted speed, failing to yield, passing illegally, or operating a vehicle in a way that endangers life, limb, or property.

When facing a Class 1 misdemeanor, you need more than just advice — you need a defense strategy. We work to reduce charges, protect your record, and keep you on the road.
Common reasons for reckless driving charges include:
- Excessive Speeding (85+ mph or 20+ over the limit)

- Racing on public highways
- Failure to signal or yield
- Driving too fast for road or weather conditions
