Last time I was in traffic court (10 years ago), reckless driving fines
started at $100 and went up to $250, depending on the culprit's speed and
prior record.  They're probably higher now.

A Class 1 misdemeanor is the most serious category of misdemeanor.  The
maximum punishment is $2500 fine and 12 months in jail.
