Reckless driving of a motor vehicle while having previously consumed alcohol or drugs
Alcohol-Related Reckless Driving (Wet Reckless)
One of the most common forms of reckless driving involves the prior consumption of alcohol or drugs.
In some jurisdictions, an alcohol-related reckless driving charge, where the defendant’s blood alcohol level was below the legal limit, is called a wet reckless. In California, the penalty for a wet wreckless is less than receiving a first-time drunk driving offense unless the driving resulted in injury to persons or property.
Reckless Driving (Without Impairment)
A reckless driving charge without the allegation of impairment by drugs or alcohol.
