Speeding

VA – Have you ever known anyone to go to jail for reckless driving by speed?

- 75 to 45 – Montgomery County, VA – Has violations on several occasions, but irresponsible expulsions in the past – currently license suspended for non-payment of fines, but was not suspended at the time he was arrested – Thinking of hiring a lawyer, should go to prison – WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I think the speed reckless driving is a serious crime in Virginia and is going 30 mph over the limit. I found some questions and answers for you on the website of a lawyer in Virginia (there are other answers on the spot, took the immediately relevant): (link below) P. I was only speeding, but the officer wrote me for reckless driving. What happens? A. In Virginia, speeding in excess of 20 mph over the limit or over 80 mph is reckless driving legal. P. What are the penalties for reckless driving for speed? A. The maximum statutory penalty is twelve months in jail, six-month suspension of his Virginia driver's license or six-month suspension of his privilege driving a motor vehicle in Virginia if you are licensed elsewhere, plus a fine up to $ 2,500. If your privilege to operate a motor vehicle is suspended in Virginia for a period of time, the Virginia DMV report the suspension to the state that issued your driver's license. Most States honor suspensions in other states and suspend the licenses of their own citizens in notification of a suspension out of state. The real pity that you can realistically expect varies considerably jurisdiction. In some counties in traffic court judges will begin to jail at 90 miles per hour at speeds above 100 mph is a virtual prison certainly in most jurisdictions the privilege. Some jurisdictions suspend driver license (or driving in Virginia by other licensed facilities) at a rate of 85 mph. A 90 mph or more that the suspension is quite probable.
