Virginia Code § 46.2-862 states: "A person shall be guilty of reckless driving who drives a motor vehicle on the highways in the Commonwealth (i) at a speed of twenty miles per hour or more in excess of the applicable maximum speed limit or (ii) in excess of eighty miles per hour regardless of the applicable maximum speed limit." Furthermore, Virginia Code § 46.2-868 states " A. Every person convicted of reckless driving ... shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor."
