Failing to give proper signals
– failing to give adequate and timely
signals of intention to turn, partly turn,
slow down or stop.
Driving too fast for highway and
traffic conditions – Exceeding
a reasonable speed under the circumstances
and traffic conditions existing at the
time, regardless of any posted speed limit.
Exceeding speed limit
– Driving (1) twenty miles over
the speed limit when the speed limit is
thirty miles per hour or less, (2) sixty
miles per hour or more when the speed
limit is thirty-five miles per hour, (3)
twenty miles per hour or more in excess
of the speed limit, when the limit is
forty-five miles or more, or (4) eighty
miles per hour regardless of the maximum
speed limit.
The following are some of the factors
that might affect whether or not you receive
a jail sentence for reckless driving:
Driving record –
What is your driving record? Do you have
positive points with the DMV? If the judge
looks at your driving record and finds
you have multiple convictions for speeding,
reckless driving, or driving under the
influence, the judge might think jail
time is needed to teach you a lesson.
Injured victims –
If your reckless driving offense caused
an accident, were any people injured?
If there were people injured by an accident
caused by your recklessness, the judge
is more likely to give you a stiff punishment.
