Did you receive a reckless driving ticket in Virginia?

In Virginia, reckless driving is a class 1 misdemeanor (similar to a DWI or assault and battery conviction) and carries several possible punishments, penalties, and serious long-term consequences.

Virginia traffic laws are among some of the most severe traffic laws in the country.

First off, once charged with a reckless driving ticket, you cannot pre-pay the ticket. It is mandatory that either you or an attorney (on your behalf) appear in traffic court.

Failure to appear in court can result in the judge issuing a warrant for your arrest.
So DO NOT miss your court date!

Secondly, if convicted in court, the MAXIMUM penalties for a reckless driving conviction in Virginia are as follows:

• Six (6) demerit points offense that stays on your VA driving record for eleven (11) years
• Potential jail sentence of up to twelve (12) months
• Driver’s license suspension up to six (6) months
• Potential fine up to $2,500
• Auto insurance premium increase for three years
• Security clearance problems
• Loss of job, putting your career on the line
• Permanent criminal record (Class 1 misdemeanor)

• We cannot stress this enough, but we STRONGLY recommend that you complete a 4-hour Reckless/Aggressive Driver Course course, PRIOR to court, for any of the following tickets:
  • Reckless Driving
  • Aggressive Driving
  • DWI/DUI
  • Possession
  • Driving on a Suspended License
• Persons charged with reckless driving tickets (or driving violations that contribute to aggressive/road rage behaviors) may enroll prior to their court date or as referred by their attorney or as ordered by the Court, in a 12-hour education program (8-hour DIP Course and 4-hour Reckless Course).
• The 8-hour DIP class is a preferred pre-requisite for the 4-hour Reckless/Aggressive Driver Course. It is not required to be completed first but recommended to be done in that order.

• The 4-hour "Reckless/Aggressive Driver Course" addresses the many causes of reckless driving, the psychological aspects of aggressive driving, teaches methods to avoid situations that encourage dangerous driving behavior, and gives tools that help us implement the skills we learn in the driver improvement program. The participant will learn skills that can be used in everyday driving situations to safely negotiate the crowded roadways.
• Traffic court preparation, coaching, tips, and guidance provided
• The course is commonly ordered by judges throughout Virginia. In fact, half the students are referred by their experienced attorneys to attend prior to court

  • DO NOT lose or misplace your certificate. There is a $30 fee for re‑issuing certificates.
• It will be your responsibility to present your certificate to your attorney/judge/court.
  • If you received a letter from your attorney or court, or have the police issued ticket, bring it along.
• This class is not a Driver’s Improvement class, it does NOT give you good points on your driving record
