Use commonsense..
Obviously, the first reply from an attorney says the same old crap - "Reckless driving in VA is a serious felony offense with jail time, fines up to 2500.. blah blah blah"
All I would say is use your common sense, do a lot of research on the Internet, listen to people who have posted their experience. Then decide if you need a lawyer. A lawyer would obviously talk about the worst case scenario. If they were to arrest and suspend everybody with Reckless driving charge, what would happen?
I had a reckless driving ticket at 87 miles on a 65 road in Faulkner county. What did I do? Did a LOT of research on discussion boards, spoke with a few people who went thro the same. I went prepared to face the Judge - With excuses, driving history, educational background etc etc etc. But when i went to the court, the DA offered to convert every body's reckless driving charge to a speeding ticket IF, they were just a few miles over the speeding ticket limit and had a clean history. So she gave me and everybody there a $100 fine, and 6 points. (Go to class and wipe em off). I dont know if all DA's in all countys would do this though.
So all I would say is - Do a lot of research and decide - If you want to spend 500 bucks on a attorney or spend 5 hours on research.
