Reckless Driving/Speeding and Other Serious Traffic Offenses:

Anyone who has driven on the interstate highways in Virginia recently may feel that Virginia should change its state motto from "Virginia is for lovers" to "Virginia is for speed traps!" Law-enforcement officials in Virginia are making no bones about their crackdown on speeding, aggressive driving and drunk driving on the highways of Virginia. Virginia has over a dozen different “Reckless Driving” statutes.
Motorists that believe they did nothing to endanger themselves or other drivers may still find themselves facing Reckless Driving charges. For example, a motorist passing a school bus or driving 75 mph in a 55 mph zone or 81 mph in a 65 mph or 70 mph zone can and will be ticketed for Reckless Driving. Reckless Driving is not merely a traffic infraction. It is a criminal offense- a class one misdemeanor- the most serious class of misdemeanor in Virginia with maximum penalties of one year in jail, $2,500 fine, and a six-month suspension of your driver’s license. Not only will your insurance go through the roof, but you will have a permanent criminal record! Security clearances could be lost, and on every job application that you fill out for the rest of your life, you will have to indicate that you have a criminal record.
