        Penalties for Reckless Driving in Fairfax, Virginia

        With many commuters passing through northern Virginia on a daily basis, excessive speed is a common problem on our roadways. Reckless driving, a serious traffic violation, is constituted by a number of factors, including:

        • Driving more than 80 mph or driving 20 mph or above the speed limit
        • Causing or contributing to an accident
        • Weaving in and out of traffic
        • Failing to stay within a lane of traffic
        • Careless and imprudent driving

        Many reckless driving citations are given to drivers who simply are trying to arrive at their destinations as quickly as possible. In Virginia, it is important to note that exceeding the posted speed limit by 20 mph or more constitutes reckless driving.

        Reckless Driving Defense for Fairfax, Virginia Motorists

        Reckless driving is a criminal misdemeanor offense that can result in up to $2,500 in fines, a six-month driver’s license suspension, and up to a year in jail. Further, six points will be added to your driving record for the criminal violation (if licensed in Virginia). By working with traffic ticket defense lawyer Mark Nicewicz, you may be able to save your driving privileges and minimize the consequences of your citation.

        Fairfax Traffic Violation Attorney Representing Out-of-State Drivers and Students

        Out-of-state drivers are subject to similar penalties as Virginia residents cited for driving in a dangerous manner. They will be liable for fines and potential jail time. While the Virginia courts cannot suspend your out-of-state license, Virginia may suspend their right to drive within the state.

        Not only will this cause great hardship for commuters, it may impact their license in their own states as well. Additionally, Virginia will not assign points to an out-of-state driver’s record, but he or she may receive points from his or her home state. A driver’s home state may assign points to the license, or choose to suspend the license and driving privileges, as examples. The law office of A. Mark Nicewicz can help protect your license and privilege to drive.

          Reckless Driving Penalty Defense Fairfax County Attorney

          A person charged with reckless driving, including out-of-state and foreign (e.g., Canadian) drivers, will have a permanent criminal record that will be indexed in the NCIC criminal database if convicted of this type of offense. For Virginia residents, the conviction will also be added to a driving record for 11 years, and six demerit points will be applied, which will adversely affect insurance rates and ability to switch policies. The penalties are even more severe if you have prior convictions for any type of traffic offense, especially other reckless driving infractions.

          Attorney Mark Nicewicz will explore every detail of your case to see if the police acted properly when they pulled you over and if your actions rise to the level of reckless driving under current law. In some cases, he may be able to get the charges dropped or reduced to the lesser-included offense of improper driving, which is not a criminal conviction and caries much lighter penalties.

          Having an experienced lawyer on your side can be the critical difference in these types of reckless driving cases. In order to have a reckless driving charge reduced to improper driving, an application can only be made at trial for this change since a law enforcement officer can only write a ticket for reckless driving.
