Reckless driving, like criminal speeding, is a common offense in Arizona. Because it does happen often, some drivers believe it won’t have much of an impact, but this isn’t the case. A reckless driving conviction can be a misdemeanor that can lead to jail time, significant fines and a suspended license.<\/p>\n
If you’re facing a reckless driving charge in Arizona, it’s important to know that it’s something that won’t go away on its own. But with the right team – the defense attorneys at JacksonWhite Law – you can give yourself the best chance of minimizing your penalties.<\/p>\n
Although it’s not required, having a reckless driving attorney can significantly improve your chances of having your penalties reduced.<\/p>\n
Reckless driving in Arizona is governed by statute\u00a028-693, which states that reckless driving is any kind of driving that shows “disregard for the safety of persons or property.”<\/p>\n
The statute makes it clear that reckless driving can be a class 1 or class 2\u00a0misdemeanor offense, and carries penalties respective of those classes.<\/p>\n
So although you don’t technically need a reckless driving attorney, facing the typical sentencing for the charge\u00a0without the right representation could lead to more penalties than you’d face with an attorney.<\/p>\n
