Reckless Driving Lawyer in McGaheysville VA
Radar enforcement along Route 33 between the East Rockingham High School zone and Resort Drive produces most of the reckless driving cases that reach the Harrisonburg docket from McGaheysville.
The gap between the citation date and the first hearing gives the defense room to work the charge toward a lesser outcome, which is why the case calendar matters as much as the charge itself.
McGaheysville Reckless Driving Defense
Virginia's reckless-by-speed law under § 46.2-862 applies to any reading 20 mph over the posted limit, and to any speed of 85 mph or more, regardless of the sign. Route 33 through McGaheysville drops from 55 mph to 45 mph entering the Massanutten Village stretch, so a 66 mph reading during ski weekend traffic 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 the first hearing. 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.
