In the state of Virginia, reckless driving is a misdemeanor. While this may seem inconsequential, it is important to remember that a conviction for reckless driving may result in:
- A $2,500 fine + court fees
- Up to one year in jail
- Up to six-months license suspension
- Up to six points off your license
A reckless driving conviction can stay on your record for 11 years and, while it is not a felony, it can prevent acceptance into a university, interfere with your ability to secure employment, and make it difficult to rent or buy a house.
Your best protection against these sometimes extreme reckless driving consequences is a qualified and competent criminal defense lawyer. The Gordon Law Firm has helped thousands of men and women deal with reckless driving charges in Virginia. We can help you.
