Reckless Driving Misdemeanor

Reckless driving is a crime defined as driving with a willful or careless disregard for the safety of other persons or property. It often results in property damage and or personal injury to people or animals. Reckless driving is generally considered a misdemeanor and punishable by fines, jail sentences, a criminal record, and suspension or revocation of a driver’s license. In most cases, it takes more than mere drunken driving, traffic violations, or an accident alone to warrant a charge of reckless driving, however, a combination of two or more smaller offences often elevates the crime to reckless driving.
