Is Jail Time a Real Risk?
Jail time is a possibility for anyone accused of reckless driving in Prince William, but the likelihood of receiving jail time depends on several factors including how fast you were accused of speeding and your previous driving record. Judges will typically give jail sentences to drivers who were traveling above 90 miles per hour. A poor driving record also increases your likelihood of going to jail. Those convicted of reckless driving at 85 mph or less rarely receive jail time.
Challenging the Evidence Against You
Prince William County police use several methods to determine speed. All are fallible. A Prince William County police officer or Virginia State Trooper may clock your speed using radar, LIDAR or by pacing your vehicle. Carlos Wall and The Gordon Law Firm have purchased radar and LIDAR devices commonly used by police in Northern Virginia. We purchased these devices so that we could gain a full understanding of how they work, their weaknesses, and the mistakes that can be made in operating them. That helps us during a reckless driving case effectively challenge the accuracy of the device's results when fighting for clients like you.
In Virginia, Radar and LIDAR guns are required to be tested, calibrated and operated in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. Depending on the circumstances in your Reckless Driving case, this can be crucial to having your charges of Reckless Driving by Speed dismissed or negotiating a favorable resolution without having to go to trial.
