You definitely want to consult with a good criminal defense lawyer in the court your case is in. They will be able to review your case and locate any potential defenses.

It depends on your age and prior driving record. If you're licensed in Virginia and 20 or older it doesn't sound like it would get suspended. The court can suspend if it's reckless driving by speed though.

You are required to adhere to the requirements in the state the vehicle is in, even if you are driving through. So people from Florida get tickets all the time for window tint that is legal in Florida but not legal in Virginia even though they are just passing through.

There are elements to the charge the Commonwealth would need to prove. Contact a lawyer in the area where your charge is and they may be able to locate a defense.

If they charged you with 46.2-324 then I think you are correct. If you can show you notified DMV it should get dismissed.

Be more specific about what you are asking.
For an example: 18.2-57, one version is: assault and batter (insert name of victim). there are more than one verbiage language version under 18.2-57 that the magistrates use.

It sounds like it is a criminal misdemeanor reckless driving charge and not a simple speeding ticket. Either way, I don't think there is anything you can do. You have ten days to appeal after a conviction and 60 days to file a motion to reopen. Some judges bend the 60 day rule but I don't... View More

Get a compliance summary from the Virginia DMV that will tell you what you need to do.
He also attended anger management and paid fees. He assumed it was automatically dismissed after completion only to find out years later it wasn’t. Is there anything he can do?

If he can show it was supposed to be dismissed and he complied 100 percent then yes. He has to show it was essentially a clerical error.

Sometimes you can strike the BAC language by agreement or if there is a legal defense which would get rid of the mandatory jail time. But you need either a plea agreement and/or a legal defense to get there.

You cannot get reckless driving for driving 80 mph unless it was in a 60 mph zone. We practice regularly along the NC/VA border for interstate 95 and 85 and those are 70 mph zones.
Jail time depends on what court the case is in, and the speed cited if it is reckless by speed. However, you... View More

You should ride a bike or find a residence closer to work. If they have reason to believe your license is suspended then that's probably going to be fine.
