Reckless Driving

Reckless driving in Washington State is considered to be a misdemeanor crime, and the penalties associated with it prove as much. If you are convicted in court, you will face mandatory punishments that include a jail sentence of up to 364 days, expensive fines that could total $5,000, and a 30-day driver’s license suspension. On top of that, you will also be required to carry high risk (SR-22) auto insurance for three years, which means your premiums will go through the roof.
