Reckless Driving

Reckless Driving - A Serious Washington DUI Crime

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.

Comprehending Washington reckless driving DUI laws can be challenging for anyone, especially when you’re trying to defend yourself against drunk driving charges. Knowledge of these laws is essential when working to resolve a case either through negotiations with a prosecutor or in court. Our Seattle, WA reckless driving attorneys handle these cases based on their decades of combined experience, successfully resolving hundreds of them every year.
