A great question! There is no defined speed that is considered reckless driving in Georgia since reckless driving is just defined as driving with “a willful disregard for the safety of others and their property.” However, you can certainly get a reckless driving charge for speeding in Georgia—typically, you’ll be charged with reckless driving if you go 100 MPH or faster.
to drivers who are caught driving at 75 MPH or more on a two-lane road, or at 85 MPH or more on another road or highway. These tickets add an additional $200 to the ticket cost. If you get a reckless driving charge for speeding, you’ll probably get a super speeder ticket too.
