A reckless driving charge has lots of possible outcomes. A conviction could lead to jail time, license suspension, and a hefty fine.
Today in Stafford County traffic court, the judge handed down a bunch of alternative sentences. For people who had perfect driving records and a low enough reckless driving speed, they were offered driving school to get the charge dismissed.
Here’s the key: this option might not be available for you. The facts and circumstances of your case must fit the judge’s rubric for the driving school outcome. And the problem is that even the same judge can have slightly different standards on different days.
Traffic school is definitely a possible outcome for reckless driving cases, but you can’t count on it. Your best option is to contact a traffic attorney. An attorney with experience in the court where your charge is pending can guide you through your options and help you get the best result possible.
