How much will a speeding ticket cost in California doing 97 in a 70 mph zone?
well in Minnesota it cost me $285 --- My recent ticket was $330 in California. I was written up for "90+" in a 65MPH zone. It will cost me $51 more for traffic school. The officer indicated that 90 was the maximum he could write me up for speeding. Anything higher than that would have to be for reckless driving. Reckless driving is a misdemeanor and requires a court appearance where the judge will set the fine price. Been there done that. =)
If the citation states 'followed another vehicle too close than is reasonable' is it considered as reckless?
Reckless Driving "If the citation states 'followed another vehicle too close than is reasonable' is it considered as reckless? " This is the traffic ticket description of the violation. You need to check the statute number on the ticket to determine the exact charge. You can do this by calling the DMV or doing an online search of the code of laws in your state. Reckless is considered a very serious charge with the possibility of a license suspension or jail time in almost all states. Following too closely is a minor moving violation. Normally for the officer to charge you with reckless there would be more involved than just following too close. An example of reckless would be if you were speeding, weaving in and out of traffic and then hit someone in the rear. The exceptions are the states like Virginia that have decided to make speeding an automatic reckless violation if you exceed certain limits. In Virginia reckless is speeding 20mph over the speed limit or any speeding over 80mph. lwpat

Is 25 mph over the speed limit reckless driving?
Your close but no! Any speed over the speed limit can be considered reckless driving if the Law Enforcement Officer can prove that you were driving reckless, and that you were driving without "DUE REGARD" to the safety of others. Your speed, driving behavior, and whether you were endangering the safety of the public much all be considered before you can be charged with reckless driving. I am a Police Officer and my advise to anyone that reads this is to not ever be going 25 over the posted speed. Speed limits are there for a reason. I not saying someone should be arrested and loose their license for going 10 to 15 over but but definitely should get a ticket. 25 over on the other hand is absolutely ridiculous. -----Hope this answers you question.

How many points for reckless driving in florida?
Reckless Driving is generally 3 points on your license and on your insurance record. This is the same as for a DUI as far as insurance goes or for having an accident. These are all 3 points. There's a joke about what's the difference in a DUI or Reckless Driving? The punchline is having a lawyer. A lawyer or the police officer themselves try to tell you they achieved something for you by getting your violation reduced to Reckless Driving instead of DUI but in reality it makes no difference and the Judge will almost always do this for you if you ask anyway without paying an Attorney. Save your money to pay for the insurance increase.
