How do you fight a reckless driving ticket in Virginia?
I was recently accused of reckless driving, but I don’t think it was justified. I want to fight it. How do you get a reckless driving ticket dismissed in Virginia?

I’m sorry to hear about your situation! Typically, the best way to fight a reckless driving ticket in Virginia (or any other state) is to
hire an attorney
with traffic court experience.Depending on why you got the ticket, your lawyer might argue that your speedometer was inaccurate at the time that you were pulled over, that there is a lack of evidence to show that you endangered anyone, or that the speed was poorly marked, among other defenses. A lawyer might also know the judge or officer involved in the case, which could give you an upper hand.
After a ticket, your car insurance will probably go up.
