Reckless Driving Accident

All drivers in Texas have an obligation to drive safely and obey traffic laws. When they don’t, innocent people will get badly hurt and even killed. That’s why reckless driving in Texas is a serious offense that carries heavy fines and possible jail time, even when it’s prosecuted as a misdemeanor.

Driving in Dallas can be challenging. In fact, it was recently named the most dangerous city for driving in America. Dallas has some of the worst infrastructure conditions in the nation, and it’s fourth in the country when it comes to fatal accidents involving speeding drivers.

According to Texas statutes, reckless driving is defined as “operating a vehicle with willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property.” Speeding often results in a reckless driving conviction, but exceeding the speed limit by a specific rate doesn’t automatically subject a person to reckless driving charges.
