Reckless driving carries the standard Class B misdemeanor punishment of a fine of up to $500 and a jail sentence of up to six months. Unlike DUI convictions though, the jail term in reckless driving is not mandatory and most offenders will never serve jail time. Your insurance rates may increase for around three years, and you will not be getting any delivery jobs in the near future. Other than that though, it is unlikely any significant harm to your lifestyle will be felt after you have paid off your fine (around $250.00), 6 months suspended sentence and/or 6 months probation, and perhaps community service work.
