Is improper driving a moving violation?
I got a ticket for reckless driving in Virginia but have an otherwise clean record. The judge reduced my ticket to improper driving—does that still count as a moving violation?

Improper driving is a charge unique to Virginia that can only occur when a reckless driving ticket has been reduced. Still, improper driving is considered a moving violation.
A Virginia reckless driving ticket can cause your
car insurance
rates to skyrocket on top of steep fines and possible jail time, so it’s great that you got your ticket reduced! It’s easy to avoid a reckless driving or improper driving conviction if you slow down, follow traffic laws, and remain courteous to other drivers.
Every insurance company evaluates your driving record using a different formula, but moving violations can often lead to increased insurance rates. If you feel you’re overpaying for car insurance, use the
