Reckless Driving Charges in Fairfax County, Virginia
In Fairfax County, Virginia, reckless driving is a broad traffic offense that is often used as a catch-all by police officers. In order to prove that reckless driving occurred, it needs to be proven that the driver was intentionally driving at a speed or in a manner that could endanger the life or property of another.
In some cases, a driver may believe that he or she has only been given a speeding ticket, but if the driver was going more than 80 miles per hour, a police officer may charge that person with reckless driving, which could mean a possible license suspension or jail time.
