Reckless driving is one of the highest in points. It is right along with passing a stopped school bus. It WILL raise your insurance up sky high, and your insurance may even drop you. You may need to look into a lawyer if your driving record is not that good. Also the circumstances in which you got the ticket will play an important role when you are in court. Be well prepared for court, and make sure you have all your stuff together. Hope this helps!!!

∙ 14y agoA conviction for reckless driving (or in the UK) dangerous driving may lead to disqualification.
If a driver keeps his licence, or regains it after a ban, the insurance company (if it agrees to renew the policy at all) will normally increase the premium. In motor insurance, the insurance companies have a fairly well-worn rule-of-thumb to guide them, although they may not bother to follow strict actuarial principles.
Typically, a motor policy is issued for a year; and the insurer is bound to provide cover for that period (unless the policy provides an opt-out). This means that while an increased premium may be demanded on renewal, the assured may rely upon the policy until its expiry without extra payment.
[Note that in shipping, where some risks (cargo claims, war risks & pollution) are borne not by an insurance companies but by Protection & Indemnity Clubs, the ship-operator may have to pay an extra "call" (the P&I equivalent of a "premium") if the Club has insufficient funds].
