Reckless Driving Penalties

If a person commits and is arrested for any one of these reckless driving acts, it is considered a misdemeanor offense that is punishable by a jail sentence of up to 30 days for a first-time offense, 90 days for a second offense, and 180 days for a third offense. In addition, it also results in hundreds or thousands of dollars in fines and five points to your driver’s license.

According to New York law, an individual can be charged with reckless driving if:

  • He or she operates a motor vehicle and who recklessly drives at such an unreasonably high rate or low rate of speed to endanger safety or block proper traffic flow
  • He or she passes another vehicle from the rear while on slope or a curve where vision is obstructed for a distance of fewer than 500 feet
  • He or she drives in and out of a line of traffic
  • He or she speeds up or refuses to give one-half of the roadway to a driver overtaking and desiring to pass
