Kosa So: Reckless Driving Attorney in Northern Virginia

Under Virginia law, one can be convicted of reckless driving under a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to speeding 20 miles over the posted speed limit, speeding 80 mph or above, or driving dangerously in a parking lot.  Reckless driving is also a crime and considered a Class 1 Misdemeanor—the highest class misdemeanor in Virginia.  In addition, any person who drives a vehicle in a willful or wanton disregard for the safety of others or property could be guilty of reckless driving. This language is typically cited by law enforcement to charge reckless driving involving an accident or vehicular crash.

When to Hire a Reckless Driving Attorney

Under Virginia law, a reckless driving charge is not prepayable and the accused must appear in court to answer the charge in open court in front of a presiding judge.  Appearing in court is a daunting and stressful experience, especially without an attorney. An attorney can help the accused not only resolved the case favorably, but provide guidance and comfort with the physical and logistical aspects of appearing for court. Although one has the right to represent his or herself in court, given the potentially devastating consequences of a reckless driving conviction, it is highly advisable to have the assistance of a trained and skilled attorney. A conviction for reckless driving can result in a fine as high as $2,500, a suspended or loss of one’s license, 6 demerit points, and in some cases, an active jail sentence. In addition, depending on your overall driving record, liability insurer, or employer, you could lose your insurance coverage, security clearance, and even your job.
