The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • The distinction between negligent driving and reckless driving is the critical element in determining punishment under Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357. In defining the conduct that gives rise to felony punishment under 46.2-357(B)(2), the legislature uses the phrase, driving that endangers the life, limb, or property of another, language virtually identical to that found in the statute defining reckless driving. Drunk driving does not per se deserve felony treatment under § 46.2-357...

Anne v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Defendant in Prince William was charged with reckless driving under Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-852.

The word "recklessly" as used in the statute imparts a disregard by the driver of a motor vehicle for the consequences of his act and an indifference to the safety of life, limb or property. The essence of the offense of reckless driving lies not in the act of operating a vehicle, but in the manner and circumstances of its operation.

Gerald v. Commonwealth

Defendant was convicted by the general district court of reckless driving.

If you are facing a traffic case in Virginia, contact a SRIS Law Group lawyer for help.  You can reach us at 888-437-7747

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • An issue of statutory interpretation is a pure question of law which the appellate court reviews de novo. When the language of a statute is unambiguous, the appellate court is bound by the plain meaning of that language. Furthermore, the appellate court must give effect to the Virginia legislature's intention as expressed by the language used unless a literal interpretation of the language would result in a manifest absurdity. If a statute is subject to more than one interpretation, the appellate court must apply the interpretation that will carry out the legislative intent behind the statute.
  • Under the plain and unambiguous terms of Va. Code Ann. § 19.2-294.1, one may not be "charged" and "convicted" of both driving under the influence (DUI) and reckless driving. A conviction of either DUI or reckless driving, whether in simultaneous or successive prosecutions, requires dismissal of the other charge if the other charge arose from the same act or acts.

Manson v. Commonwealth

Facts:

A police officer saw defendant driving a jeep that was weaving and five times crossed the double yellow line into the on-coming lane in Prince William. The officer stopped the vehicle and noticed signs of defendant's intoxication. Defendant pled guilty to driving under the influence (DWI). At the trial on the habitual offender charge, the Commonwealth introduced into evidence defendant's guilty plea and conviction on the DWI charge, and a prior adjudication as an habitual offender. The trial court denied defendant's motion to strike. Defendant was convicted. On appeal, the court found that defendant's driving behavior clearly rose to the level of reckless and could have endangered the life, limb, or property of another. The trial judge correctly found that defendant's intoxication alone was not enough to show that his driving of itself endangered the life, limb, or property of another, and his intoxication when combined with the evidence of weaving was sufficient to prove a violation of Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357(B)(2). The court also found that for § 46.2-357(B)(2) to apply, the driving behavior did not have to actually harm another person or require another person to take evasive action.

Fisher v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Defendant argued that the Prince William court erred in denying her proposed jury instruction that improper driving, an offense set forth in Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-869, was a lesser-included offense of reckless driving by speed. The appellate court disagreed. Improper driving was not a lesser-included offense of reckless driving by speed. Every commission of reckless driving by speed did not also constitute improper driving. In addition, improper driving was not composed entirely of the elements of reckless driving by speed. Improper driving required an additional finding of slight culpability, an element excluded from § 46.2-862. The plain and unambiguous reading of § 46.2-869 made clear that authority rested with the trial judge and not the jury to make the lesser degree of culpability determination. In the alternative, an attorney for the Commonwealth may have reduced a reckless driving charge to improper driving at any time before the court's decision. Thus, only the trial judge, or the prosecutor before the verdict was rendered, had the prerogative to reduce a reckless driving charge to improper driving under § 46.2-869.

Every commission of reckless driving by speed does not also constitute a commission of improper driving. In addition, improper driving is not composed entirely of the elements of reckless driving by speed. Improper driving requires an additional finding of slight culpability, an element excluded from the reckless driving by speed statute. The improper driving statute, Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-862, states that the court in its discretion may reduce the reckless driving charge to improper driving where the degree of culpability is slight.

Moose v. Commonwealth

Facts:

The appellate court held that the blood alcohol level indicated in a PBT was conditionally relevant, subject to being augmented by evidence tending to show that the driver was driving in an intoxicated condition so as to endanger the life, limb or property of others in Prince William. No evidence established the significance of a PBT of 0.04 or whether a person driving with a 0.04 level might be intoxicated as evidence of reckless driving. The test result, alone, was inadmissible. The error was not harmless. The evidence of defendant's reckless driving was not overwhelming. The trooper acknowledged that he did not charge defendant with driving under the influence (DUI), but the Commonwealth emphasized defendant's consumption of alcohol. The jury could well have concluded that defendant, while not guilty of DUI, was driving recklessly because she had 0.04 alcohol in her system. If the Commonwealth sought to admit the PBT result on retrial, it had to show that a.04 result indicated that defendant was intoxicated such that her driving was dangerous to life, limb, or property of another, and defendant was entitled to an instruction on the statutory presumptions of blood alcohol concentration.

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-852 provides that irrespective of the maximum speeds permitted by law, any person who drives a vehicle on any highway recklessly or at a speed or in a manner so as to endanger the life, limb, or property of any person shall be guilty of reckless driving. The word "recklessly" as used in the statute imparts a disregard by the driver of a motor vehicle for the consequences of his act and an indifference to the safety of life, limb or property. The essence of the offense of reckless driving lies not in the act of operating a vehicle, but in the manner and circumstances of its operation.

  • The distinction between negligent driving and reckless driving is the critical element in determining punishment under Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357.

Like the bar of former jeopardy under U.S. Const. amend. V, § 19.2-294 prevents the Commonwealth from subjecting an accused to the hazards of vexatious, multiple prosecutions.
