Reckless Driving Ohio

Reckless driving in Ohio is a serious offense and can result to a jail sentence and the loss of your license. What leads to a reckless driving Ohio charge? Let’s say you are driving down the street at a high rate of speed. You are driving in the wrong lane and you disregard a stop sign. Those traffic offenses give an officer a reason to pull you over. The main requirement for reckless driving is that it must show “wanton disregard” for the safety of others. But most officers will not file the charge unless they notice three minor traffic violations. Since reckless driving is usually a misdemeanor, the maximum penalty is a $150 fine. But that penalty will increase if this is not your first offense. You could face up to 60 days in jail and pay a $500 fine. Felony reckless driving could result in time behind bars, probation, community service and fines.
