Reckless driving in Virginia covers a wide spectrum of behaviors that pose risks to public safety and property. Under Virginia law, reckless driving involves operating a vehicle in a manner that shows a deliberate or careless disregard for the safety of people or belongings. This definition allows law enforcement and courts to assess each situation individually.
Examples of reckless driving in Virginia include speeding excessively, driving aggressively, participating in highway races, making reckless passes, failing to yield, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Additionally, actions like texting while driving or engaging in other distractions that hinder safe vehicle operation can lead to reckless driving charges.

- Heavy fines ranging from $250 to $2,500, contingent on the seriousness of the offense.
- Court-ordered suspension of your driver’s license.
- Potential imprisonment for up to 12 months.
- Addition of six demerit points to your driving record.
