    Default Reckless Driving Charge for Doing a Burn Out

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Virginia, Harrisonburg area.

    Hello,

    I'm very new to posting here but have read great threads hopefully someone can help.
    I was pulling out of an intersection on to a high way in my dads mustang gt. I will be honest,
    I have it a lot of gas and did a pretty loud burn out. I'm not saying I'm innocent or trying to lessen
    My charge. I am completely aware that that is reckless driving in Virginia. My question is this.
    What can I expect to happen to me, my dads insurance, and my dads record. At court hat can I expect?
    I had a speeding ticket 3 years ago I'm now 20 almost 21. I was very polite to the officer and he said I had
    A pretty good record. Will it help if I take a driving class before court? I need some advice also on
    How to handle this. Anything will help.



    Thanks guys

    For a reckless driving charge in Virginia? Very serious consequences. I strongly suggest a lawyer.

    As Mr. K says, reckless driving is a crime. Depending on how you come across to the judge, he might just throw you in jail. You can also expect some amount of license suspension. The best outcome you can hope for is to have it reduced to careless driving. I would at least consult with a lawyer unless the CA is willing to go ahead and recommend reducing the charges.
