Reckless Driving Charge Reduced to Improper Driving in New Kent County

A young Virginia woman charged with reckless driving was "more than pleased" with our efforts in negotiating a plea agreement wherein she entered a guilty plea to improper driving and avoided having a criminal record for reckless driving, a Class 1 misdemeanor.

The defendant was returning to Hanover County from a concert in Hamption Roads early in the morning with two friends. They stopped at a rest area in New Kent County, and as she was preparing to re-enter the I-64 westbound highway from the rest stop, she accelerated too fast. When she realized how fast she was going she slowed, but by then it was too late. A state trooper had clocked  her doing 91 mph. 

In Virginia, driving at a speed in excess of 80 mph can lead to a reckless driving conviction.

 



Mr. Stelly regularly appears in the courts of the City of Richmond, Henrico County, Chesterfield County, Goochland County, and Hanover County.
