When does reckless driving fall off?
I got a reckless driving charge a few years ago, but I’ve had a clean driving record since then. Because of the charge, I still pay a huge premium for car insurance. How long does it take for reckless driving to fall off?

The amount of time necessary for reckless driving to fall off your record varies by state. However, most drop the charge in no more than 10 years.
The amount of time is less in other states, but there’s a minimum of five years in most places. However, some states allow you to expunge reckless driving from your record if you maintain a
clean driving record
. Keep in mind that the price of an attorney to expunge this charge may range from $1,000 to $5,000.Whether or not your reckless driving charge falls off in the near future, always make sure to use the
