I’m going to travel to West Virginia this fall for a football game. I’ve never driven in the state before, but I like to drive really fast. What is considered reckless driving in West Virginia?

There’s truly nothing quite like a game at Mountaineer Field, so make sure to enjoy the experience! Just don’t speed.
No set speed is considered reckless driving in
West Virginia
. Ultimately, whether or not you are worthy of a reckless driving ticket is up to the discretion of the officer who pulls you over.
In West Virginia, reckless driving is a misdemeanor, which is likely to appear on your permanent record. Those who are convicted also face penalties including:
  • 5 to 90 days in county jail
  • Fine of between $25 and $500
  • 6 points on your license
Since you’re headed out on a road trip, adding
towing and labor coverage
