Failure to maintain proper control may be a type of reckless driving recognized in

the traffic code of the Commonwealth. (See Va. Code Sec. 46.2-853.)

Your son should have a competent criminal defense counsel representing him

who is appropriately experienced in defending juveniles in the Juvenile & Domestic Relations District Courts of the Commonwealth.
