Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia

Yes, such mailings of summonses happen quite frequently, but, of course, the defendant is free to challenge on the morning of the scheduled hearing any and all information or facts alleged (or omitted)in the matter--

whether on the ticket itself and/or offered by the ticketing officer.

However, considering that reckless driving is a Class 1 misdemeanor in

the Commonwealth and not merely a traffic infraction, a person so charged

would be well advised to consider retaining counsel to assist with the

matter, particularly, when an accident is involved (if at all possible).

An officer is permitted to issue summons at a later date. You may want to cross examine him during trial as to reasons and possible consequences at trial. Sheryl Shane, Attorney at Law.
