Experienced Loudoun County Reckless Driving Attorney

Drag racing, driving under the influence, and excessive speed are all actions that can warrant a reckless driving charge. Most drivers understand that these traffic violations pose a great safety risk to other drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. However, under Virginia traffic law there are several more traffic violations that can lead to a criminal charge. Many of these offenses seem relatively minor, and some are so vaguely defined as to be quite subjective in nature:

  • Driving with faulty brakes
  • Improper control
  • Obstructed view
  • Failure to yield
  • Failure to signal
  • Driving too fast for conditions
  • Aggressive driving

Speeding in excess of 80 miles per hour is considered reckless driving, as is driving in excess of 20 miles per hour over the posted limit. However, if one is accused of “driving too fast for conditions,” he or she may actually be driving within the posted speed limit and still be charged with a criminal offense. A qualified Loudon County Reckless Driving Attorney can evaluate every aspect of your charge to build a strong defense.
