So tire popped, ran on a median, i hit a sign.

The officer told me he wouldn't give me a Reckless driving ticket, he writes on the ticket 46.2-853 "failure to maintain control of vehicle"..


So I call the court clerk the next day and she says it is classified as a Reckless ticket, and I need to appear in court..

Anyone know how this will go down? What I can do? What I should do? I'd rather not get a lawyer because I can speak for myself. The officer and I chatted for hours waiting for a tow truck, and he said If its been less than 5-years since I've taken driving school then I can't request it... Should i request driving school anyways?

Any insight would be helpful, especially from any Chesterfield PO.

Thanks
