Traffic Violations Handled by Campbell County Court

Common cases include speeding, reckless driving, stop sign and signal violations, improper turns, and driving with a suspended license. Each of these creates a court record at the Rustburg courthouse.

Reckless driving is one of the more serious charges handled here. Under Virginia Code Section 46.2-852, driving in a manner that endangers life or property is a Class 1 misdemeanor. So is driving more than 20 mph over the speed limit or exceeding 80 mph under Virginia Code Section 46.2-862. These charges require a court appearance and, if convicted, result in both a criminal record entry and six demerit points on your Virginia DMV driving history.

All demerit points are recorded by the Virginia DMV and affect your driving privileges and insurance rates.
