Petersburg Reckless Driving Charge Attorney
As a major population center, the Richmond area is crossed with several well-travelled roads, including:
- I-95, which is the major north-south highway
- I-64, which is the major east-west highway
- Route 288, which serves as a connector between I-95 and I-64
Both local commuters and out-of-state drivers use these highways on a regular basis.
Reckless driving is a Class 1 misdemeanor, (a criminal conviction) that carries stiff penalties for those who are convicted in Virginia. The same sanctions exist for those convicted of DUI — up to $2,500 in fines, up to one year in jail, and loss of driving privileges for up to one year. If these charges are not treated seriously, and vigorously defended, they can remain on a person's record as a criminal conviction. Contact our firm immediately if you have been ticketed.
