What speed is considered reckless driving in West Virginia?
I’m going to travel to West Virginia this fall for a football game. I’ve never driven in the state before, but I like to drive really fast. What is considered reckless driving in West Virginia?

There’s truly nothing quite like a game at Mountaineer Field, so make sure to enjoy the experience! Just don’t speed.
No set speed is considered reckless driving in
West Virginia
. Ultimately, whether or not you are worthy of a reckless driving ticket is up to the discretion of the officer who pulls you over. In West Virginia, reckless driving is a misdemeanor, which is likely to appear on your permanent record. Those who are convicted also face penalties including:
- 5 to 90 days in county jail
- Fine of between $25 and $500
- 6 points on your license
Since you’re headed out on a road trip, adding
towing and labor coverage
to your car insurance policy is always a smart move. But before you pay too much, compare options with the Jerry
