Out-of-State Drivers: Virginia Is Different

Drivers coming from Maryland or Delaware may be surprised by Virginia’s reckless driving law. A driver can be charged with reckless driving for going 20 miles per hour or more over the limit, or faster than 85 miles per hour. Reckless driving is a criminal misdemeanor in Virginia. A conviction may also be reported to your home state’s licensing agency, so it is important to understand the possible consequences before you pay or appear in court.

Why Not Just Pay the Ticket?
