Re:Without any evidence? (Score 1)

Reckless driving and DUI or DWI offenses are separate crimes. Reckless driving isn't a lesser-included offense of DUI or DWI because each crime is separate and distinct and can be proved by different evidence. Reckless driving involves how a vehicle was being operated; it isn't necessary to show that the driver used drugs or alcohol to prove a violation of a reckless driving law. In a prosecution for DUI or DWI, on the other hand, how the vehicle was being operated might tend to show that the driver was impaired, but it's not a necessary ingredient of the offense. The potential consequences of and punishments for a conviction of reckless driving can be severe. A reckless driving conviction can result in: A misdemeanor criminal record Deportation Revocation of parole Automatic suspension or revocation of your driver's license A substantial fine and a jail sentence DUI Lawyers
