I have an out of state driving lc, living in va since 3 mths. Got reckless driving tkt 95/65 when I was driving alone on a hwy in a rental car. I am taking driving class next wk. I have one stop sign ticket from two years ago in my driving record -3 pts only. What are my chances of not going to jail? Obviously this is my first offense. I am very shaky right now. Pls post some needful information. I am definetely going to seek a local attorney for that court day. The only thing I do not want is jail.

Re: reckless driving ticket

Jail time is only one component of this charge. Indeed, most court will assess a day in jail for each mile above 90. However, this is a gross generalization.

The first issue is to attack the charge and then, should that fail, to mitigate the damages.
