Los Angeles Reckless Driving Defense Lawyer

About Reckless Driving

A reckless driving charge carries with it much more than a traffic violation. Reckless driving is defined as driving "in a willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property". This charge can be given as a result of driving on public or private roadways or in public or private parking facilities. This is treated as a criminal charge and can carry with it fines, points added to you driving record, a misdemeanor charge and jail time. California treats a reckless driving charge very seriously and can have more severe penalties if any bodily injury is caused due to an accident.
