Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia

Reckless driving is a class 1 criminal misdemeanor in Virginia, so it is important that you address the situation. You have the right to go to court, plead not guilty, and make the officer prove to the judge that you violated the statute. There is a good amount of case law that discusses what is and what is not reckless under the law. As such, he will have to be very specific. If you had someone in the car with you, it certainly helps because it provides another witness who can testify as to what happened. You may wish to consult with an attorney that practices that type of law and in that jurisdiction.
