Unjust? Sure. But there is little to nothing to do about that now.
Do this: Have the daughter take the defensive driving course to get this dismissed.
If that is not an option in VA, then ask for deferred ajudication. If that is not an option, then you are doubly screwed.
Yes, VA does recognize defensive driving courses, and will take points off your driving record for completing one. I think you can do it once every two years. You will be in class with some real losers but it’s worth it in the long run. AAA usually sponsors the courses as well as private firms.
