Traffic Violations--Reckless Driving and other Serious Traffic Offenses

Did you know that the Virginia speeding ticket you were issued could be a reckless driving citation?  Fairfax County traffic violations carry serious consequences.  Some major traffic offenses are considered to be criminal acts and could result in a jail sentence, not to mention a significant fine.  If you have been accused of reckless driving, whether by speeding, an accident case or other types of recklessness, you are going to need expert legal representation from someone who is familiar with the Fairfax County traffic court.   For cases of racing, aggressive driving or operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license, there are numerous defenses that can only best be raised by an experienced Fairfax County traffic attorney. 

Every day, law enforcement officers write as many as 1,000 traffic tickets to drivers in Fairfax County.   There are only 6 major highways in Fairfax County:  
  • Interstate 66 (I-66),
  • Interstate 95 (I-95),
  • Interstate 495 (I-495),
  • Fairfax County Parkway (Route 7100),
  • the Dulles Toll Road/Access Road (Route 267) and
  • Interstate 395 (I-395).   
Police write an average of 1,000 or more tickets every day in Fairfax County.  

The Virginia State Police are more likely to patrol the highways mentioned above, but we also have many tickets written by the Fairfax County Police, Airport Police, Metro Police, Campus Police, and other agencies.    Some of the hot spots for tickets on smaller highways are Route 7, Route 1, Route 50, Route 236, Braddock Road, and Route 123. 

Virginia traffic fines can cost anywhere from $250 max  for minor offenses to $2,500 max for more serious charges such as Reckless or Driving on a Suspended License.  The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles will post the conviction to your record and, for moving violations, assign demerit points based on the offense.  For example, a violation for Reckless Driving by Speeding in excess of 80 mph will carry six demerit points and remain on your driving record for 11 years. If the citation goes unchallenged, you may end up with a criminal record, depending on the charge.
