Yes. When a person is accused of reckless driving, very often the prosecution will also add other criminal charges in the same complaint against you. Other charges that can be charged in addition to the reckless driving charge include DUI under California Vehicle Code Section 23152 or 23153, hit-and-run under California Vehicle Code Section 20001-20002, speeding under California Vehicle Code Section 22348-22352, exhibition of speed (street racing) under California Vehicle Code Section 23109(c), and speed contest (street racing causing injury) under California Vehicle Code Section 23109(e)-(f). It is important that you speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to help you defend against these charges and limit the exposure you may be facing.
