Reckless driving usually means you were driving drunk and had an attorney. I say this because often times when someone is caught for DUI and the officer or court is telling you that they are doing you a favor they change the charge to Reckless Driving. In reality, most insurance companies charge the same number of points for reckless driving as they do for DUI. You get three points for each one and there is no difference. Both are considered major driving violations and you are charges the same increase in rates but it does sound better, doesn't it.
