My very first reckless driving ticket!

Oh,that's unfortunate... I have a friend getting a ticket for wrong parking and he didn't pay the fine. And next time ,he got another ticket ,his car has been directly taken away!!!

hi eileenhleyva I am reminded of my husband years back.He got several tickets for not coming to a complete stop. well he had been working driving a taxi and most of them do not really come to a full stop for some reason. but then our car was out of commission and had to be in the garage for several days for repairs. I teased my husband well at least walking you will not get any traffic tickets.He came home that afternoon and sort of shame shamefacedly showed me a piece of paper.He had got a ticket for jaywalking across one of the busy highways in Orange county. I had to laugh in spite of myself as that was totally unexpected.wow. So now you have the odd honor of your very first reckless driving ticket.But he was really very lucky he did not get hit as so many drive really fast and carelessly along Harbor boulevard.

i have been driving for more than 20 years and i am happy that i have never been in a serious accident, only some crash on the motorcycle. but i have been issued several traffic violation tickets, overloading (for having more than one back-riders), entering one way street (well, i just followed the other guy. i was caught by the blue ranger when to other guy eluded arrest. ), red/stop light signal (i didn't saw the red light as i was following a hug trailer track and it was covered by the van).

Hi eileenleyva, i will drive my car at a normal speed. Once my friend Nidhi asked me to drive a little bit fast since she felt my driving is very slow and the car like bullock cart. I didn't see the line at the traffic signals at the end of Necklace road and i stopped my car before the line, next day i got a letter from them for a fine. But i learned a lesson, that i should not cross my limits and should be careful while driving, we should not neglect the traffic rules.

You do well to drive there at all. I have not been game yet and don't know if I ever will. The driving system there, apart from being on the wrong side of the road, seems to be without too many road rules and is pretty chaotic. Driving here is reasonable civilized. I must say that most drivers here would not last long driving there because you have to be a really good driver just to be in amongst it.

My mother in law is very traditional and has good manners she was a school headmistress before she etired and always has to do everything properly, yet the other month she got a ticket for speeding ! we were all shocked at this as it was so unlike her

I've gotten a few speeding tickets, but never reckless driving...

WOW!! Reckless driving!! Here in Australia, reckless/dangerous driving is defined by if you do burnouts, drive 40km or more over the speed limit & so forth...It does sound like the police have it in for you...Personally, I think that if you really did what they say you did, they should've issued you with a minor traffic violation.

Please be careful, bad things can happen when someone does not drive like they should.I try not to take any chances when i am driving.

Hi Eileenleyva perhaps the laws of "reckless driving" are different from country to country depending on geographical location however I too received a ticket for reckless driving however I was not driving a car but instead a bicycle long story short I was pedaling to get to an evening "blood donor" appointment at a local VFW when I got hit by a woman pulling into the entrance of a fast food restaurant I got sent to the hospital for minor road rash injury (scrapes, cuts and a few bruises) however I also got 2 tickets totaling roughly $147

I didn't have a chance to read your profile and see what country you are from. Regardless , if you obey the law of your land you will never get hurt. If you are driving, talking in your cell phone, smoking and drinking coffee then definetely you deserve a ticket and some time in jail. Again go by the book.

Wow, I've never heard of anyone receiving a reckless driving ticket for that. I received my wreckless driving ticket on a highway, headed back to college. I sped because that's a 4 hr drive and quite dangerous by yourself if you get sleepy because it's a str8 shot meaning that I wouldn't know I was asleep for a lil second. The state trooper in Mecklenburg pulled me going 80 in a 55 and gave me a reckless driving ticket. He told me that anything over 20 MPH is considered reckless driving!!
