Common questions
Is reckless driving a misdemeanor or felony?
Usually a misdemeanor, but it can be a felony if someone was seriously hurt. Penalties vary by state.
Will I lose my license?
Possible. Many states impose suspension for reckless driving convictions, separate from any court penalties.
Can the charge be reduced?
Sometimes — to a lesser traffic offense — depending on the facts and your record. An attorney can negotiate with the prosecutor.
What should I do after being charged?
Do not just pay the ticket if it is a criminal charge. Talk to an attorney before your court date.
