Reckless Driving

Reckless driving under Florida Statute § 316.192 means driving with willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property. A first offense is a second-degree misdemeanor (up to 90 days jail), rising to first-degree misdemeanor or felony when serious bodily injury occurs. Many cases resolve through a reckless driving plea agreement (often in lieu of DUI), but defenses include challenging the observations supporting willfulness and the speed or manner evidence.
