Experienced Reckless Driving Legal Defense
Reckless driving penalties can include up $500 in fines, three months in jail, license revocation and the application of up to 12 points against your driving record. Your sentence for reckless driving might be severe if injuries occurred due to the alleged violation.
Prosecutors must persuade the judge that your driving actually endangered people or property. This is a highly subjective charge and can frequently be disputed. Over the years, the Public Information Center for D.C. Traffic Law has achieved full dismissal or reduced charges for hundreds of clients accused of reckless driving.
