Reckless (Improper) Driving in Virginia

[krishna]

My question involves a reckless driving ticket from the State of: VA (Loudoun County)

Ticket was for at fault accident. Have clean VA and drivers record for past 8 years Never caused an accident before.No one from either party was injured in the accident.

When the officer gave me the citation report he mentioned as Reckless (imporper) on the same and he mentioned about telling the Judge about the same on the day of hearing.

I am planning on taking Defensive Drivers exam and take the certification with me on the day of hearing.

My Question is :

Is is ok I can go to the court without a Attoney ? (also take a defensive driver certificate with me,) as the cop has already mentioned Improper on the citation report

OR

Take an attorney with me.


Please Advise.

If you're worried about what might happen, having YOUR own attorney would be quite a comfort.

having your attorney could get the charges reduced, the judge may do that anyways but having an attorney always ups your chances, good luck.
