What speed is considered reckless driving in Mississippi?
I’m going to attend grad school in Mississippi. However, I’ve never driven there before and I want to get familiar with the law. At what speed can you get a reckless driving charge in Mississippi?

Congratulations on your acceptance to grad school! Learning the driving laws in
Mississippi
is a smart way to stay out of legal trouble. To answer your question, Mississippi has no set speed that’s considered reckless driving. Instead, the state relies on the judgment of law enforcement officers to determine whether a person is driving recklessly.
The state considers reckless driving a misdemeanor that’s punishable by:
- A fine of $5 to $100 for the first offense
- A fine of up to $500 for a second offense
Since you’re moving to a new state, remember that you need to switch your car insurance over to a Mississippi policy. Every state has different insurance laws, so you may even notice a change in the rate you’re paying. That’s why you should use the
