Does an officer have to write a reckless driving ticket in addition to a speeding ticket for more then 40 over the posted speed limit in il?
In Illinois, if an officer observes a driver exceeding the speed limit by more than 40 mph, they are required to issue a reckless driving ticket in addition to the speeding ticket. This is because driving at such excessive speeds is considered a form of reckless driving under Illinois law. The officer has discretion in certain circumstances, but typically, both charges would be applicable.
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.
