virginia reckless driving speed

Virginia Code § 46.2-862 specifically defines reckless driving by speed. The provision states that one who drives greater than 20 miles per hour above the posted speed limit, or more than 80 miles per hour irrespective of the posted speed limit, is said to be driving recklessly. This means that driving 81 miles per hour when the posted speed is 70 miles per hour would result in a reckless driving charge.
