Points not only increase your insurance rates, but can also suspend your driver’s license.

What is “Reckless Driving” in Florida?

Under Florida Statute 316.192 if you drive in a “willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property” you will receive a ticket for reckless driving.

As used in the statute, “willful” means intentional, knowing, and purposeful. While “wanton” means with a conscious and intentional indifference to consequences and with knowledge that damage is likely to be done to persons or property.

Examples include racing, weaving in and out of traffic while speeding, and fleeing the police.

Unlike careless driving, reckless driving is a criminal traffic offense with severe penalties. If you are cited with reckless driving, you could face license suspension, fines, and jail time.

Penalties for Reckless Driving

The penalties will depend on the number of prior reckless driving tickets you have had, and whether there was property damage or injury.

  • First offense with no injury or property damage: Up to 90 days in jail, a $500 fine, and 4 points on your driving record.
  • Second or subsequent charge: Up to 6 months in jail, a $1,000 fine, and 4 points.
  • With property damage or injury:  Up to 1 year in jail, a $1,000 fine, and license suspension.
  • With serious injury: Up to 5 years in prison, a $5,000 fine, and license suspension.

Always Fight Your Florida Careless Driving Ticket!

careless driving ticket

Under Florida Statute 316.1925 you must drive in a “careful and prudent manner” or you will get a careless driving ticket.

Examples of carelessness include weaving through traffic, tailgating, and speeding. And the most common reason, after an accident if the police blamed you.

But before you pay that ticket and get points on your driving record, here are three reasons you should fight it:

1. Accident reports are not admissible

Does the accident report say that you were at fault? It doesn’t matter. Florida Statute 316.066(4) states that the report can’t be “used as evidence in any trial.”

In other words, the accident report is not allowed in traffic court.

2. The officer did not witness the accident

In almost every case the officer did not witness the accident. So they are unable to testify against you in court.

Hence, the only way a careless driving ticket can stick is through the testimony of other witnesses at the scene.

3. Most people have never testified in court

While police officers testify in court all the time, most people never see the inside of a courtroom. Let alone have to testify in one.

In most cases, a witness may not remember what happened, may confuse the facts, or they may not even show up to court.

Our Florida Careless Driving Ticket Attorney Can Help You

It is clear to see that without an accident report, a testifying officer, or a convincing witness, a careless driving ticket can often be dismissed. In fact, at TicketFit, our traffic ticket attorney beats these tickets over 90% of the time!
