Many people who have been charged with a simple speeding infraction will often prepay the ticket without giving it a second thought. At first blush, paying $100 or $200, and avoiding a court appearance seems like the practical decision to make, but when arrested for an offense of driving under the influence, if someone had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher or they are charged with refusal to take the breathalyzer after probable cause for arrest, there is an administrative suspension of their driver’s license for 7 days. In Virginia, the mere occurrence of an accident does not mean the driver is guilty of reckless driving. Again, the Commonwealth of Virginia in New Kent has the burden of proof to establish the offense of reckless driving. Many people are confused because they feel they were not driving recklessly, that they were not weaving in the lane or having “near misses” with other vehicles, so they think they should not have received a reckless driving ticket.
