Reckless Driving in Georgia

While each person has a unique idea of what reckless driving entails, the law has its own definition. In Georgia, reckless driving is defined as driving a vehicle in reckless disregard for the safety of people or property. This definition is interpreted differently by law enforcement, attorneys, judges, and juries.

Some examples of reckless driving include:

  • Excessive speeding
  • Aggressively tailgating
  • Failing to obey stop signs, traffic signals, or yield signs
  • Illegally passing on the shoulder
  • Driving too fast for the conditions
  • Weaving in and out of traffic

Is Reckless Driving a Misdemeanor in Georgia?

Reckless driving is a misdemeanor in Georgia and may result in consequences, including up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. In addition, four points will be assigned to your license unless the judge agrees to a no-contest plea. Drivers who are under the age of 21 will have their licenses automatically suspended.

Can Reckless Driving Be Reduced in GA?
