A: That is an interesting case and presents questions of evidence needed in court. Because it is charged as misdemeanor reckless driving and you can lose your license, you may need to hire a mechanic to serve as an expert witness in court. You can also try to get a speedometer calibration that is a notarized statement of any problems with the speedometer. This can be used in discussions with the Commonealth Attorney (prosecutor) to obtain dismissal or a reduction to a traffic infraction. Give my office a call at 703-352-9044 and I will discuss the case with you in a free consultation.
