    Default Advice Needed for 18 Year Old Driver

    My question involves a reckless driving ticket from the State of: Virginia

    My daughter lost control coming down a mountain road and hit the guard rail. No other cars were involved. She was charged with reckless driving for not adusting her driving for road conditions- it was wet and foggy. She wasn't speeding, but I know her inexperience for this type of driving was definitely a factor. She is a good student with a clean driving record.

    How do we best handle this situation? Report to our insurance? Contact a lawyer? I'm at a loss about whose advice to trust in this situation.

    Thank you for any information you can give me.

    Your insurance company WILL find out about the accident, whether you contact them or not, so a preemptive 'stike' might be best; better you notify them as opposed to them finding out (they might figure you were attempting to hide this from them).

    Also, contacting an attorney might not be a bad idea; s/he may be able to get it lowered to an infraction with less/no points and minimual fines.
