What Is Reckless Driving?

You may have heard of negligent driving before, but you may not know how it differs from reckless driving. Reckless driving is a much more serious misdemeanor offense that involves driving in a manner that has a willful or wanton disregard for the safety of people or property. Negligent driving is a simple misdemeanor where the disregard for people or property isn’t as severe.

Although surprising to some, one of the most common reasons for reckless driving charges is speeding. We aren’t talking about going a little faster than the speed limit, as that would be a non-criminal infraction. Reckless driving charges involving speed involve the willful or wanton disregard for the posted speed limit. An example of this might be a motorist driving 75 mph in a 35 mph zone, or anyone going 100 mph or faster on a highway.

Consequences for Reckless Driving

There are several penalties and consequences that can come from a reckless driving conviction. All of these can have a significant impact on your life, which is why you should seek a reckless driving attorney in Bellevue to represent you in court.

As a gross misdemeanor, reckless driving can be punished with up to a year in jail and up to $5,000 in fines. Up to 24 months of probation is also possible.

In addition to these penalties, those convicted of reckless driving will have their driver’s licenses suspended for at least 30 days, although they may qualify for an Occupational or Restricted Driver License to allow for travel to work, school, and other necessary appointments and obligations.

Finally, those convicted can be ordered to carry SR-22 high-risk Insurance and to attend driver-safety courses.

Client Reviews

“If at any point you find yourself in the need of a professional in Robert's line of work, I cannot urge you enough to contact him and at least have the initial meeting.”

“I hired Rob to represent me and it was the best decision I believe I could have made. He actually won the initial DOL hearing for me (which is rare I understand now), meaning I didn't lose my license for 90 days as most charged people do.”

I have worked with a number of attorneys throughout my lifetime in a number of different capacities. And I definitely consider Rob to be of the highest caliber

I have used Rob & recommended him to other people. Rob is one of the most dedicated & thorough professionals I have encountered. Very skilled & dedicated to his trade.

My only regret is not contacting Rob right after my arrest. This was my first arrest and I had no idea what to do or to expect. Rob is easy to work with.

I did everything Rob wanted me to do and wound up with an absolutely ideal outcome for my circumstances.

I was referred to the Veitch law firm by a friend. Robert was always upfront about the “dance” that had to occur in going to court. This was very helpful.

Rob is very knowledgeable in his field of law and was able to convey to me how we would navigate through the process.

Rob treated my case as if I was his only client. I could tell he put a lot of thought into everything he did to support me. Rob took a lot of the burden off my shoulders, and he helped me every step of the way.

I will continue to and have already recommended Rob Ault, as an attorney to others in my situation. I sincerely believe the outcome we received would not be what it was, had he not been my attorney and on my side.

I hired Rob to represent me, and it was the best decision I believe I could have made. He actually won the initial DOL hearing for me (which is rare I understand now), meaning I didn’t lose my license for 90 days like most charged people do.

Good experience, happy with the case outcome, highly recommended. Rob is definitely who you want on your side in a case.

Amazing results, Rob gives you and your family the best legal services in the state. very professional and caring. 100% satisfaction with his services.

Rob successfully fought my DUI down to a Reckless Driving charge, and soon it will be dismissed off my record.

I couldn’t have asked for a better person/attorney on my side. Not only did he help with any and all questions (and I had many) but he answered them with ease and promptly.

Robert Ault did an excellent job representing our college student throughout all the phases of a difficult case over the past year with a DUI charge and plea of not guilty.

I have never had, heard, nor seen any attorney working so hard for their client as Mr. Robert Ault did for me. He has my unwavering support and complete endorsement. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking counsel for DUI/DWI defense.

Rob made a miracle happen in my case, I am glad I chose him. I talked to several other attorneys before him, and they said you are not walking out of this without at least a misdemeanor. Rob got it dismissed on one court day! He is definitely worth every penny.
