Steven Joseph Blevins v. Commonwealth of Virginia
Court of Appeals of Virginia
1Opinion of the Court
DECKER, Judge.
Steven Joseph Blevins appeals his conviction of reckless driving in violation of Code § 46.2-852. The appellant argues that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction. He also contends that the trial court erred by not instructing the jury on improper driving as a lesser-included offense of reckless driving. We hold that the evidence was sufficient to prove the elements of reckless driving and the trial court properly refused the appellant’s proposed jury instruction on improper driving. Accordingly, we affirm the conviction.
