Re: Appeal Question...
Shouldn't have been speeding recklessly then.
There's an equal chance of it going the other direction too. More harsh fine and what not.

Re: Appeal Question...
What code section was he charged under?46.2-852? General Reckless or 46.2-862?Reckless by Speed? There are many others, but to be honest it would depend on the code section used and the evidence of said "reckless driving".
Ps. Court costs/ fees go way up in Circuit Court. The costs up in Circuit Court may just be more than your $100 fine/costs in General District Court...then add in the fine upon a conviction.

In 2004 I had a Reckless in Chesterfield and my fine with court fees and stuff was around 630.00
tell your "Friend" to pay up, and slow down.

Re: Appeal Question...
If your friend was truly being reckless and it ended in a accident it deserves to be on their record. However, I don't know the back story nor do I care to know. So with that being said, best of luck.

Re: Appeal Question...
He is lucky they only gave hime a $100 fine. I had to pay $500 in fines with mine(though it did get reduced)
How far over wreckless was he going?
The only way to really get an honest opinion is to see a lawyer.
Im with these guys though....if you did the crime....do the time/pay the fine.....and SLOW DOWN.....its what track days are for.

Re: Appeal Question...
The more opinions the better, keep them coming.
Smoking: still getting that section from him.
This wasn't your classic kid speeding case, I don't want to say "it wasn't that big of a deal" because i know what will be the response of that. So I won't go there...in fact, it's sort of best that no one knows much more about it than what they know thus far, that's how a court room would look at it.
He's a rather articulate person and good with words, if that influences anyone's opinion at all.
