Is there a way to revise a ticket/citation? This weekend I got a ticket for Reckless Driving in Virginia (Fairfax County). For what I'm being cited for, reckless driving seems a bit absurd. So story goes, I was driving behind a car that was going 15mph in a 35mph zone. Seeing that there was no oncoming traffic on this single lane road (one lane each direction), I signaled to go around him. Right as I was passing him I realized that I had crossed a double-solid-yellow line. So reckless driving in VA is [defined](http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+46.2-852) as: * 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. A Class 1 Misdemeanor. [VA - Passing when overtaking a vehicle](http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+46.2-838) [VA - Limitation on Passing and Overtaking](http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+46.2-843) Is reckless driving applicable to crossing a double yellow solid line? I read through all the laws to try to find something else that it falls under. It seems like it should just be a traffic infraction, not a criminal offense. I found this one - "[Improper Driving](http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+46.2-869)." My questions are just to help me prepare for this. Has anyone had a similar case, or experience with similar cases? If a revision to Improper driving in possible, how could I set that in motion? Anyone have a different take on this? I'm biased. Other background - Age 21, 100% clean driving record, Eagle scout, etc, etc
