What speed is considered reckless driving in Montana?
I’m going to visit a friend in Montana and I want to keep my driving record clean. I know that some states charge you with reckless driving for going too fast. But what speed is considered reckless in Montana?

Montana
is a beautiful state that’s definitely worthy of a long road trip. To answer your question, Montana has no set speed that is considered reckless driving. Instead, a reckless driving charge is up to the discretion of the police officer who pulls you over.That means you can get a reckless driving charge for more than just speeding. Other actions that may result in a reckless driving ticket are:
- Weaving through traffic
- Failing to signal
- Ignoring traffic lights and stop signs
- Driving too fast for conditions
- Passing in a no passing zone
Montana also has some strict penalties regarding reckless driving, including:
- Up to 90 days in jail
- Fines up to $300
- Five points on your license
- Fines of up to $10,000 and jail time of up to one year for reckless driving that causes injury
Since you’re going on a road trip, make sure you have proper car insurance that includes
towing and labor coverage
or roadside assistance. The Jerry
