Is Reckless Driving a Felony?

Reckless Driving is a misdemeanor in Virginia, not a felony. That means punishments can include fines up to $2500 and incarceration up to 1 year in jail. In addition, Reckless Driving can include a license suspension of up to 6 months. While not a felony, a misdemeanor like Reckless Driving is distinct from a traffic infraction in that it is typically punishable by a fine of only $250 and doesn’t include a mandatory court appearance.
