One of the reasons that reckless driving charges in Arizona can be so serious is because of the penalties that come with this charge. The charge of reckless driving does not cover one or two specific acts as some other criminal charges do. Instead, reckless driving is another one of our “umbrella laws” meaning that it covers a wide array of reckless actions while driving that may not otherwise specifically be illegal—but probably ought to be illegal to keep the public at large safe.
When we talk about charges related to reckless driving, it would be almost impossible for us to cover all of the types of driving that could be charged under the statute. The statute reads, “[a] person who drives a vehicle in reckless disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving.” Some examples of the type of driving we see individuals charged for reckless driving is:
Reckless driving is charged as a class 2 misdemeanor. A first-time offense for reckless driving is usually accompanied with a hefty fine and subsequent violations can come with more severe punishments. However, as mentioned above, reckless driving also comes with a total of 8 points being charged against your license. Depending on your driving record, this could mean a license suspension.
