Virginia Reckless Driving Arrests Likely to Increase Labor Day Weekend

Richmond, Virginia area courts should be clogged Tuesday with arraignments for a large number of Reckless Driving arrests over the Labor Day weekend.

Virginia State Police will be stepping up their presence on I-95, I-64, and I-295 in and around Richmond, and local police and sheriffs' departments in Henrico, Goochland, Chesterfield and Hanover counties increasing their presence on local thoroughfares. Of course the objective is to identify and arrest as many persons as possible who are driving in excess of the speed limits, and moving rapidly in and out of lanes.

Reckless Driving charges are not just traffic offenses, but are Class 1 misdemeanors that show up as a criminal record.  

Persons facing Reckless Driving charges are well-advised to obtain the services of an experienced attorney to represent them in court. Not all attorneys can defend these cases as well as others. Experience in the courtroom, and aggressively challenging the evidence, can lead to "not guilty" verdicts, or a reduction of the charge to a less serious offense.
