RECKLESS DRIVING DEFENSE: SCHOOL BUS / PARKING LOTS

Have You Been Charged with Improperly Passing A School Bus? I Can Help

According to Virginia Code §46.2-859, passing a school bus while it is in the process of taking on or discharging children, the elderly or mentally or physically handicapped persons is reckless driving.  Like other reckless driving offenses, this is a class 1 misdemeanor and can carry significant penalties to include a substantial fine and jail.  I have experience in representing clients with this particular form of reckless driving and can help you challenge the prosecution’s evidence.

Have You Been Charged with Reckless Driving in a Parking Lot? I Can Help

Reckless driving is not only confined to Virginia’s highways, but also to specifically designated parking lots as outlined in Virginia Code §46.2-864.  Like the general reckless driving provision which applies to designated highways, this offense requires proof that you were driving in a manner so as to endanger the life, limb or property of any person.  I have experience in challenging this particular variation of reckless driving and can help you mount an effective defense against the State’s case.

Have You Been Charged with Another Form of Reckless Driving?

Virginia Code identifies 14 possible types of reckless driving offenses to include those discussed in this website as well as others.  Whatever the basis for the reckless driving charge, be sure to consult with an attorney before deciding to handle the case alone in court.
