Flying down an open road, flooring it to pass a slow car, or cutting off a slow driver may all seem like things that just “happen” on Florida’s roads. In reality, these sort of actions, as well as a variety of other unsafe operations, are considered reckless driving and are a criminal offense in Florida. There are 3 levels of reckless driving tickets, with a first offense being considered a 2nd degree misdemeanor, a reckless driving offense that causes property damage as a 1st degree misdemeanor, and a reckless driving offense that causes bodily injury as a 3rd degree felony. Each level of this offense can potentially include jail time, probation, and significant fines. If you’ve recently been charged with reckless driving and other moving violations, it’s important to speak to an experienced legal team that can assist your case on the both the criminal charges and the traffic violation charges.
