About Virginia Reckless Driving Guide
Virginia's reckless driving laws, in plain English
Author
Tobias Noyes, Editor and owner of Axis Driving Courses
Tobias Noyes is the editor of Virginia Reckless Driving Guide. He is based in Richmond, Virginia, and owns Axis Driving Courses, which provides the Virginia DMV-approved online driver improvement clinic and the 12-hour reckless and aggressive driver education program — the courses Virginia courts and the DMV send drivers to after a ticket. The questions these pages answer are the ones drivers ask him in the weeks before a court date.
Pages on this site are checked against the current text of the Code of Virginia and the Virginia DMV's published rules, and each shows the date it was last reviewed. Tobias is not a lawyer, and nothing here is legal advice.
This site links only to official sources — the Code of Virginia, the Virginia DMV and Virginia's courts. It sells nothing, and Axis courses are not sold or linked here.
How pages are written and checked
- Every statement of law cites the Code of Virginia section it comes from, with a link to the official text at law.lis.virginia.gov.
- Fines, DMV demerit points and licence consequences are checked against the Virginia DMV and the Code of Virginia before publication and re-checked when the law changes.
- Each page shows the date it was published or last updated.
- Pages describe how the law works in general; they are not advice about any particular case and are not a substitute for a Virginia attorney.
