Reckless Driving Laws
Every state has different definitions of what types of driving may be reckless, and the laws are often intentionally vague and open to interpretation,
which makes consulting with a local criminal defense attorney all
the more important. Traffic laws that qualify as reckless driving may include:
- Driving more than 25 mph over the posted speed limit
- Driving over a predefined speed limit, such as 80 mph
- Racing with another vehicle
- Trying to avoid an officer
- Passing a vehicle on a two-lane highway when visibility is limited
