Why You Should Contest Traffic Charges
Did you know that fighting a speeding ticket or reckless driving charge may save you money in the future? It can keep you from going to jail, getting points on your driver's license or losing your license. It may also keep your insurance rates from increasing. Plus, it protects your driving record.
Under Virginia law, if you are stopped for speeding at either 20 miles per hour (mph) over the posted limit or for driving over 80 mph, you can be charged with reckless driving as a misdemeanor offense. Other common negligent driving charges include:
- Passing an emergency vehicle
- Passing a school bus
- Passing at a railroad crossing
- Street racing
- Passing on the crest of a hill
A conviction for any of the above traffic offenses will result in a criminal record, six points on your license, fines and a possible jail sentence. Your license could also be suspended or revoked.
