Did he write you a ticket for reckless or did he just write you a ticket for speeding? The officer has discretion to write just speeding even if the speed normally would be considered reckless ... If he only gave you speeding, I wouldn't contend it in court and would just pay the ticket.

If you contend it -- there's a chance the judge could decide to give you a reckless.

 

+1. As I was aware all of I-95 inside of 295 is 55mph zone. When I come through there on my way back from NC I see people pulled over at night there all the time because no one but me slows down by 10mph!

 

Can we have a section specifically for Traffic Tickets so we don't have to see them here anymore? This is becoming a searchable topic as there is a new one posted every week.

 

I drove up 95N last night from Florida to Richmond. The speed limit drops to 55mph at mile marker 49.6 (it's right next to the sign), the location of the offense was mile marker 46+/- where the limit is still 65mph.

I'm going to contact the court and try getting a hold of the ADA.

The ticket is reckless due to speed, the code says the violation is "anything in excess of 20mph or above 80mph regardless of excess"

 

I counted and this is the only ticket-related thread on the front page of Mid-A within the past 90 days... so my guess is no.

 

Get an lawyer bro good luck!

Reckless ticket = Lawyer up!

That's all there is to it.

I don't understand why people post so many threads asking what they should do when they get a reckless ticket

 

you'll be fine
