What speed is considered reckless driving in Virginia?
I just moved to Virginia and I’ve never driven in the state. I used to get pulled over for speeding a lot; luckily, the police were pretty lax where I lived. In Virginia, how fast can you go before it’s considered reckless driving?

The speed that is considered reckless driving in Virginia is either 20 mph over the posted limit or more than 85 mph on any roadway.
In Virginia, reckless driving is a Class 1 misdemeanor that goes on your permanent record. If convicted, you also face:
- Up to a $2,500 fine
- Six points on your license
- Up to 12 months of jail time
Since you just moved, you have 30 days to switch your car insurance policy over to your new state. While you’re updating your policy, hop on the
