Reckless driving is a serious offense that can lead to jail time and the ultimate suspension or revocation of your driver’s license. The charges are filed as misdemeanors in most circumstances. For example, in Arizona, reckless driving class 2 misdemeanor can land you in jail for a year and you may have to pay a fine of up to $1,000. In Idaho, a reckless driving conviction could put you in jail for up to six months on your first offense and in jail for up to a year on your second offense. You will also face fines, possible community service and will like have to attend a reckless driving class to learn new driving skills. The Department of Motor Vehicles in your state will add points to your driver’s licenses. If you receive so many points during a certain period of time, your driver’s license will be suspended or revoked.
