Lexington VA Reckless Driving DISMISSED
Our Lexington VA reckless driving attorneys represented a client accused of reckless driving for driving too fast.

We were able to effectively cross examine the police officer who operated the RADAR in this case and made the reckless driving allegation. We exposed the fact that the RADAR used in this particular case was not tested for accuracy with properly calibrated tuning forks, which is required by Va. Code 46.2-882. The Judge granted our motion to dismiss the case.
