Our criminal defense lawyer can assist you if you’ve been charged with reckless driving.
Here in the Dunwoody, Georgia region, a person may be charged with reckless driving if a police officer believes that they were driving “in reckless disregard” for the safety of others. However, there is no explicit standard that explains what reckless driving means. Someone may be charged with reckless driving if they run a red light or a stop sign, or someone could be charged if they’re weaving in and out of traffic without signaling. If you are facing a reckless driving charge, our team at Schwartz Trial Law LLC can help.
Reckless driving is considered a misdemeanor in Georgia, and it can result in a variety of penalties. If you are charged with this offense, you may have to pay a fine, spend up to a year in jail, do community service, or follow other conditions laid out by the judge. Reckless driving will also add 4 points to your driver’s license, and if you are under 21 years old, your license will be automatically suspended.
