Reckless driving is a serious offense characterized by a disregard for safety and traffic laws. This can include excessive speeding, aggressive maneuvers, or endangering others on the road. Conviction can lead to hefty fines, license suspension, and even imprisonment, underscoring the need for a strong legal defense.
