What Does Georgia Law Consider to Be Reckless Driving?

Georgia law enforcement penalize drivers who act reckless on the road, which they consider to be any driving practices that exhibit a disregard for the safety of others, themselves, and their own passengers.

What Are the Penalties for Reckless Driving in Georgia?

Georgia reckless driving convictions are a misdemeanor offense carrying a fine of up to $1,000 and/or up to 12 months in jail.

A single conviction adds four points to the offender’s driver’s license. These points could result in a license suspension for drivers who accrued 15 or more points in a consecutive two-year period. If a driver is under 21, however, a single reckless driving charge could suspend their license for six months, as could any other offense worth four or more points.
