Reckless Driving Charges in Tampa
Reckless driving charges are levied at an individual when they display "willful or wanton disregard" for the safety of others while driving, according to Florida statutes. It does not pertain to any particular action the driver committed, but is related more to the "state of mind" of the driver at the time of being stopped, as there is often no accident or other incident that occurred to obviously prove guilt.
A reckless driving conviction will result in 4 points on your driving record, and other penalties may apply as well. A first offense can carry up to 90 days in jail and up to $500 in fines. A second offense brings a jail sentence of up to six months and a $1000 fine. If alcohol was believed to be a factor in your reckless driving offense, you may also face a mandatory substance abuse program. Failure to complete the program can result in a suspension of your driver's license.
