Reckless Driving is a serious criminal charge in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Whether you are a Virginia resident or from out-of-state, if you've been caught driving more than 80 mph then you will likely be charged with a class one misdemeanor which can result in significant penalties and a permanent criminal record if you do not successfully fight the charge. In fact, if you've been caught driving over 90 mph you are more likely to spend a greater amount of time in jail then many people who are convicted of drug possession and theft.

A citation for "Reckless Driving Speeding" in Caroline, Hanover, Dinwiddie, Greensville or Emporia Virginia is not just a speeding ticket. If you want top-rated legal representation to protect your rights and to fight hard against the criminal charge of which you've been accused. Virginia reckless driving attorney Bob Battle and his of-counsel Claude Whitehead are both former prosecutors who focus their practice on defense of serious criminal traffic offenses like Reckless Driving / Speeding.

New Virginia Speed Limit Law May Increase Likelihood of Reckless Driving Charge

On July 1, 2010 a new Virginia law went into effect that allows the speed limit to be raised to 70 mph. The speed limit has already been increased on a section of I-295. In early July 2010, CBS6 interviewed experienced Virginia reckless driving lawyer Bob Battle about the new law. As Bob explained to CBS6 Reporter Mark Holmgren, the definition of reckless driving in Virginia has not changed. Driving 81 miles per hour - just 11 miles over the speed limit - will get you a reckless driving charge, not a simple speeding ticket.

The Media Contacts Bob Battle When They Have a Virginia Reckless Driving Story

As CBS6 Reporter Mark Holmgren stated on Richmond TV, "Bob Battle wrote the book on Reckless Driving Speeding in Virginia." Bob Battle's book "The Shocking Truth about Reckless Driving Speeding in Virginia" has been featured not only CBS6 News in Richmond but also in the Baltimore Sun, and on WTOP radio in Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C.

In his article, "Speeding Costs You More in Virginia Than in Maryland" Michael Dresser of the Baltimore Sun wrote, "Battle knows his stuff when it comes to serious traffic charges in Virginia..." and "...Battle is a lawyer who specializes in getting out-of-staters off the hook for reckless driving, so naturally he urges people to hire an attorney when facing such charges. Vested interest aside, that's probably good advice. Prosecutors don't like to cut bargains with nonlawyers."
