How Much Is a Reckless Driving Ticket?

What Is Reckless Driving? 

Under California Vehicle Code Section 23103, reckless driving is driving a vehicle “in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property.” You can be charged with reckless driving on a highway, as well as in an off-street parking facility. Reckless driving is a misdemeanor and usually results in a fine. However, you may incur more severe penalties if you cause injury to another person in the course of your reckless driving.
