Serious Penalties for Reckless Driving in Virginia
The Commonwealth of Virginia takes reckless driving more seriously than many people think. It can include speeding (20 mph or more over the posted limit), drag racing, failing to yield to an emergency vehicle and passing a stopped school bus. The penalties can include:
- Up to one year in jail
- $2,500 fine
- Six Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) points
- Driver's license suspension for up to six months
These are serious penalties for reckless driving in Virginia. With the close proximity to the major political hub of Washington, D.C., and three major interstates converging on our commonwealth, traffic is an epic problem in Virginia. In response to this problem, our legislature has created severe fines for traffic infractions like reckless driving.
