Reckless Driving Defense

The attorneys at the Law Offices of McGregor & Ernenwein are highly experienced in defending reckless driving cases. If you or a loved one has been accused of reckless driving, please call our office today for a free consultation.

California Vehicle Code Section 23103 (a) states that a person who drives "upon a highway in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property" is guilty of reckless driving. A California reckless driving conviction places two points on your driving record. A person's driver's license may be suspended or taken away due to the accumulation of points on their driving record within a certain period of time.

You can't just pay a reckless driving ticket. It is a criminal charge, not a traffic violation. There are serious consequences for reckless driving, including jail time of up to ninety days and significant monetary fines. A reckless driving conviction and additional points on your driving record can also cause your insurance rates to skyrocket.

At McGregor & Ernenwein, our experienced defense lawyers are knowledgeable about a variety of reckless driving defenses, and are fully prepared to represent you. It is important to remember that in a reckless driving case, the prosecution must prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you intentionally committed the reckless driving. Any mechanical problems with your automobile, and any external conditions (such as bad weather or poor roads) will call your intent into question.

An experienced defense attorney will prepare a successful defense to a reckless driving charge for your individual case. At McGregor & Ernenwein, your first consultation is absolutely free, so you have absolutely nothing to lose.
