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.

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.

How much over the speed limit is reckless driving?

In most states its 15 miles over the speed limit. There may be variations on this such as if you are in a city, or a construction or school zone. I would look up your state by going to the appropriate state police website or your state dept of transportation website. In many states the penalty for reckless driving is jail or possible loss of license especially if you hold a commercial (CDL) license.

In Georgia how fast can you drive over the speed limit without having a point assessed to your license?

My understanding is that in any state, if you receive a speeding ticket, you can be assessed points. So the answer is you can't drive over the speed limit. And in many places, driving 15 mph over the speed limit is automatically considered reckless driving, which is more points. law is 14 as long as not school zone, historical areas, work zone etc...
