How many demerits is a reckless driving charge and how will it effect your insurance?

Reckless driving is one of the highest in points. It is right along with passing a stopped school bus. It WILL raise your insurance up sky high, and your insurance may even drop you. You may need to look into a lawyer if your driving record is not that good. Also the circumstances in which you got the ticket will play an important role when you are in court. Be well prepared for court, and make sure you have all your stuff together. Hope this helps!!!

Don't know about other states, However, in Virginia a Reckless Driving charge, regardless of the specific reason, is -6 points.
