Those might include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Following a vehicle too closely.<\/li>\n<li>Intentionally running a red light or other traffic control devices.<\/li>\n<li>Weaving in and out of traffic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Fleeing a law enforcement<\/h2>\n<p>Fleeing a law enforcement officer in a motor vehicle is also reckless driving. The offense is generally a second-degree misdemeanor in Florida. Punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $500. Under certain circumstances, reckless driving is a felony.<\/p>\n<h2>A closed and dismissed charge<\/h2>\n<p>A closed and dismissed reckless driving charge can get expunged. That includes compliance with all terms and conditions of supervisory court orders. As well as, payment of all fines and costs with successful completion of any probation. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement determines whether a person is eligible to have a reckless driving charge expunged. If a person is eligible. The department will issue a certificate of eligibility for expunction to accompany any actual petition to expunge. A person previously adjudicated guilty of any misdemeanor or a felony crime found to be delinquent as a minor, he or she is not eligible for expunction.<\/p>\n<p>The Clerk of the Circuit Court where the arrest occurred destroys the expunged file. They also delete any pertinent records from the Circuit Court Clerk\u2019s database. In addition, they order the arresting law enforcement agency to destroy its records. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement will still maintain a record of the arrest. It\u2019s likely that the Federal Bureau of Investigation will also retain a record. Take notice the law allows only one criminal record to get expunged in your lifetime. If numerous charges result from your charge of reckless driving. The court may, in its sound discretion, order expunction of more than one charge.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Tampa\u2019s Traffic Ticket Lawyer, RHINO Lawyers<\/h2>\n<p>If you received this type of ticket or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.rhinolawyers.com\/es\/traffic-tickets\/careless-driving-ticket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">careless driving ticket<\/a>, contact the <strong>RHINO Lawyers<\/strong>.<br \/>\nWe are a tough, thick-skinned law firm.
