Prince George Reckless Driving Speeding 100/70 mph
Our Prince George County VA reckless driving lawyer represented a client from Fairfax who was charged with a misdemeanor reckless driving allegation of speeding 100/70 mph on Interstate 295. Our client was terrified about being sentenced to a term of incarceration. [NOTE: Any case involving speed evidence of 100 miles per hour can very possibly trigger a jail sentence] After reviewing our clients case, it appeared that the state trooper’s evidence of speed was accurate, but we were able to present other evidence to mitigate the allegation and convinced the Judge to find our client NOT GUILTY of reckless driving. Our client was happy to avoid a jail sentence and a career ending misdemeanor conviction.
