If a traffic offense is a criminal offense in Virginia, then do people who get speeding tickets have a right to a jury trial?

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

There is no right to a jury trial on a speeding ticket, 1 to 19 over. 20 or more over is reckless driving and subject to 12 months in jail and $2500 fine. Jury trial right attaches to that. All traffic offenses are reported on a criminal record check.
