What Are The Penalties For Reckless Driving?
Since the maximum penalty for Reckless driving is one year in jail, a $2,500 fine, a six month suspension of driving privileges, and 6 demerit driving record points, this charge must be taken very seriously. The most common penalty for most Reckless Driving convictions, involving a driver with a very good record and relatively mild driving behavior, is a $75 fine. However, a driver can expect a license suspension for speeding more that 20 miles per hour over the speed limit and can expect a jail sentence for speeds over 90 miles per hour! Moreover, a bad driving record will almost always enhance a penalty.
