Steer Through the Questions of Reckless Driving
What qualifies as reckless driving in Minnesota?
Reckless driving in Minnesota is marked by a disregard of substantial risks through actions like extreme speeding or aggressive maneuvers that could result in serious harm or property damage.
How can Shek Law help with my reckless driving charge?
My strategy begins with a thorough review of your specific case details, looking for opportunities to reduce charges, negotiate plea bargains, or qualify for diversion programs that could mean probation instead of conviction.
What is the difference between 'wet reckless' and 'dry reckless' pleas in Minnesota?
‘Wet reckless’ involves alcohol being a factor in your driving behavior, while ‘dry reckless’ does not. I often strategize for a Careless Driving plea, which is a lesser offense and typically devoid of alcohol-related implications.
What are the consequences of a reckless driving conviction in Minnesota?
Penalties could range from up to 90 days in jail and a fine of $1,000 for a misdemeanor to 364 days in jail with a $3,000 fine if the action causes great bodily harm, classified as a gross misdemeanor.
Does a reckless driving charge affect my driving record?
Yes, a conviction remains on your driving record for five years or more, likely causing increased insurance premiums. A strong defense could help mitigate these impacts.
