What is Reckless Driving Under 625 ILCS 5/11-503?

Reckless driving means willful or wanton disregard for safety of persons or property. This includes driving behavior that shows deliberate indifference to the safety of others on the road.

Unlike simple traffic violations, reckless driving involves complex evidence including driving pattern analysis, witness testimony, and recklessness determinations. However, these procedures may contain technical flaws and constitutional violations that experienced defense attorneys can challenge to win cases.

The key to defending reckless driving charges lies in attacking the reliability of recklessness evidence and constitutional violations during the stop.
