Flagler County reckless driving cases can be difficult for the state to prosecute. It takes more than just speeding to show reckless driving. The state must show that you were driving in Flagler County and willfully endangered person or property of another. Speeding without endangering someone is not reckless driving. If the state can show that your driving endangered a person or property they must also show that it was willful. If you accidently cut someone off it might be careless driving but is not reckless driving. Reckless driving is a criminal offense. If adjudicated guilty you will receive four points on your driver's license and will not be able to seal or expunge your record. If the evidence against you is strong Flagler County reckless driving attorney Kevin J. Pitts can negotiate with the state and might be able to keep you from being a convicted of a crime. Often careless driving can be used as a non-criminal resolution to a reckless driving case. The advantage for the driver is no criminal conviction and if adjudication is withheld no points or insurance increases. The state can often get a driving class and a fine without trying to show the driver's intent and spending an entire day in trial.
