How many miles over the speed limit is considered reckless driving?
How fast do I have to be going to get charged with reckless driving in Michigan? I got pulled over for speeding recently and I was going pretty fast. Now I’m nervous that I’ll get charged with reckless driving. How many miles over the speed limit is considered reckless driving?

That’s an important question, for sure! In the state of
Michigan
, driving 25 MPH over the speed limit is considered reckless driving. This means that you can be charged with a misdemeanor, which can result in consequences of fines up to $500, license suspension, or jail time.With that being said, however, you’ll typically be told at the scene if you’re being charged with reckless driving. If the cop who pulled you over just gave you a speeding ticket, it’s very unlikely that you’ll be charged with reckless driving after the fact.
When you have driving points on your license, it can be hard to find affordable insurance. The
Jerry
app makes it quick and easy to find the best rates available on the coverage you need—no long forms or phone calls necessary!Hope that helps you breathe a little easier since it sounds like you were only given a speeding ticket.
