Fines: The immediate fine associated with the ticket and/or points on the license are often the first concern of drivers caught in a reckless driving charge.
Points on your license: Reckless driving can lead to many demerit points on your license. In some states, that means that you’re going to be paying a fine to the state. In other cases, cumulative points will lead to you losing your license.
License suspension: If you’re convicted of more than one reckless driving charge within an eighteen-month period, you stand strong odds of losing your license.
Potential jail time: In several states, including New York, reckless driving is a crime that can lead to time in jail.
