Four drivers are each stopped for speeding. Which driver can be charged with reckless driving because of speed alone?
Correct answer: Driver B: 55 mph where the limit is 35 mph
Why
Reckless driving is a criminal offense (a misdemeanor), not only a traffic ticket. The 85 mph rule applies on every road, also where the limit is 70 mph. A speed below the limit can also be reckless when it is too fast for the traffic, the road or the weather.
