No, it is not considered double jeopardy because reckless driving and DUI manslaughter are separate offenses with different elements that can be charged independently. Reckless driving generally involves a disregard for the safety of others, while DUI manslaughter involves causing a death while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
