Have You Been Issued a Reckless Driving Ticket?

(516) 319-5822

Reckless driving cases are rare in NY compared to other traffic violations, but if charged the offense is considered a misdemeanor in the court of law. While jail time is possible, it too is rare but the fines are extensive. Aside from the ample fees, a reckless driving conviction adds 5 points to your NY driving records, plus 5-8 negative units which make it harder to get your license back if revoked.  

A reckless driving ticket usually is accompanied by other charges, like speeding tickets. Speeding tickets can add up to 11 points on your license and $685+ in fines. Add that to the reckless driving fines and points, plus the DMV assessment you’ll now have to pay for, you’re look at over $2,000 and too many points to count.

Reckless driving is a highly subjective law that functions as a catch-all for many separate infractions. Even a cell phone violation could turn into a reckless driving charge, as talking on the phone while driving could put other on the road in danger!

Reckless driving is defined by the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law as meaning: “driving or using any motor vehicle, motorcycle or any other vehicle propelled by any power other than muscular power or any appliance or accessory thereof in a manner which unreasonably interferes with the free and proper use of the public highway, or reasonably endangers users of the public highway. Reckless driving is prohibited. Every person violating this provision shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.”
