It is possible to have your reckless driving charge reduced. It also depends on what kind of violation you committed, as there are more than ten types of reckless driving charges in Virginia. Your charge can be reduced from a misdemeanor to an infraction. Attempting to have your charge reduced alone is not recommended. Hiring a lawyer who has had prior experience representing clients in similar situations can greatly boost your chances of success. They understand how to assess the evidence and present your case so that you can have your reckless driving charge modified and face less severe consequences.
