The Virginia Court made the following holding:

Virginia State 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 Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-852 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.
