A Reckless Driving Ticket may look like an ordinary
ticket but that's wrong.
 Reckless Driving (39:4-96) is an
offense that carries for a first time offender up to 60 days in jail
and/or a fine of not less than $50.00 or more than $200.00.  On a
second offense you face up to 90 days in jail and/or a fine of not less
than $100.00 or more than $500.00.  Because this is a serious
offense, the prosecution can be more interested in the jail sentence
rather than the points or fines.  In fact the possible jail time for a 1st
offense conviction for reckless driving ticket is twice that of a first
offense DWI.  In addition to the possibility of jail, if convicted of
reckless driving you will receive 5 points on your drivers license.

Reckless driving can be an easy case for the prosecutor to win
against you.  Why? Because the standards of proof are so low.  For
a conviction to stand for Reckless Driving the prosecutor need only
prove that your actions were likely to endanger a person or
property, thus it can include many offenses.  Example: Speeding
can endanger a person or property because the faster you go the
more likely you are to get in an accident because it takes more time
to brake and slow down in an emergency. Failure to maintain a lane
or DWI can be reckless driving because it increases the chance of
an accident.  Nearly all violation can be enhanced legally with a
Reckless Driving Ticket.

In addition to possible jail, the judge does have the option to
suspend your license.  If you lose your license you could lose your
job, your house and all that is important to you!  Don't go it alone we
can help.  Call our office at 1-800-9-RIGHTS or (732) 257-5040 to

Even if you don't get jail or get your license suspended, the 5 Points
given with a Reckless Driving ticket can cost up to $6,000.00 on your
insurance over the next 3 years and is generally the 2nd most
expensive traffic infraction for insurance behind only a DWI.  The
costs of hiring our lawyer to defend your Reckless Driving Ticket is
generally only a fraction of  the cost of your insurance increase due
to a reckless driving conviction!
