Why was I charged with reckless driving in Virignia? I wasn't going more than 20 miles over the speed limit.

 

A: If you are driving over 80 MPH, regardless of the posted speed limit, you can be charged with reckless driving.

Also, an officer is given the authority to chargcharge with reckless driving if he or she determines that you are operating your vehicle in an unsafe manner. This means you could be cherged with reckless driving if an officer witnesses you texting while driving.
