    RECKLESS DRIVING IN FLORIDA

    To start with, there are certain offenses that no driver wants on their record. So, next to a DUI and DWI offense, a reckless driving ticket is one of the most negative traffic offenses that a driver can get in Florida.

    Were you cited for reckless driving? If so, you are facing some serious penalties for this criminal offense. But, don’t worry you have options and the RHINO Lawyers are here to help you.

    What Constitutes Reckless Driving

    First, Florida Statute 316.192 defines reckless driving. In short, it is any person who drives a vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for safety or property. Thus, the nature of the offense speaks to the state of mind of the person driving. And, it extends further than simple neglect.

    For this reason, law enforcement can charge you with reckless driving. Regardless, if an accident occurred. So, a reckless driving ticket could come from acts like speeding, tailgating, failure to yield and weaving in and out of traffic.
