Reckless Driving Lawyer in Churchville VA
A summons written on US-250 through Churchville, on Route 42 toward Bridgewater, or on I-81 near Exit 220 is heard at Augusta County General District Court in Verona.
The gap between your citation date and the first hearing gives the defense room to work the charge toward a lesser outcome.
Churchville Reckless Driving Defense
Virginia's reckless-by-speed law applies to any reading 20 mph or more over the posted limit, and to any speed of 85 mph or higher, regardless of the sign. US-250 through Churchville shifts between 45 and 55 mph zones, so a 76 mph reading in a 45 mph stretch can turn into a reckless driving charge instead of a routine ticket. A conviction carries up to 12 months in jail, a $2,500 fine, and 6 points that stay on your record for 11 years.
The firm reviews the radar calibration certificate, the officer's LIDAR training record, and the specific code section on the summons before your first hearing in Verona. That review often opens a path from a Class 1 misdemeanor down to improper driving under § 46.2-869. Bob Keefer represents these cases himself.
