What is the Difference Between a Speeding Ticket and Reckless Driving?

Virginia has some of the most stringent traffic regulations in the country. As such, a traffic citation can be upgraded to a serious criminal charge of reckless driving if an individual is:

• Driving faster than road or weather conditions permit;
• Driving 20 mph over the speed limit; or
• Driving over 85 mph (regardless of the speed limit).

If a traffic citation is upgraded to reckless driving, an individual may face steep penalties, including:

• Class 1 Misdemeanor or Class 6 Felony (if the conduct results in a fatality);
• 6 Demerit Points;
• License Suspension or Revocation;
• Fine up to $2,500; and
• 1-year jail term.

Many defendants are shocked to find out how serious reckless driving charges are. If you were ticketed for reckless driving, speeding, or another traffic violation, it is critical to reach out to an experienced Virginia traffic ticket attorney who can negotiate for lesser charges or fight for a dismissal.
