Reckless Driving by Speed and General Reckless Driving
There are two ways to be charged with reckless driving:
Reckless driving by speed - You may be found guilty of reckless driving if you exceed the speed limit prescribed by law. Driving 20 miles per hour above the speed limit or in excess of 80 miles per hour regardless of the applicable maximum speed limit could cost you a speeding ticket and a fine, at the very least.
General reckless driving - This is what you will be cited for if you drive in a manner that endangers the life or property of another. Our firm has handled a broad range of issues that fall under this category, including:
- Passing a stopped, properly equipped school bus
- Overtaking / passing an emergency vehicle
- Racing
- Driving with improper brakes or while the vehicle is not under proper control
- Driving too fast for traffic conditions
- Failing to give a proper signal
