[snip] Driving faster than 100 isn't defined to be "reckless driving" in California. It is, however, an infraction different from ordinary speeding, with a fine of up to $500. A first offense carries a possible suspension, and a sub- sequent offense carries a mandatory suspension. CVC 22348(b). "Reckless driving" is driving "in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property." It carries a possible jail sentence. CVC 23103. (Note that this applies to California. Other states, such as Virginia, are known for tacking a "reckless driving" charge onto any noticeably unsafe moving violation.) -- Chris Green Email cgreen@atc.com Advanced Technology Center Phone (949) 583-9119 22982 Mill Creek Drive ext. 220 Laguna Hills, CA 92653 Fax (949) 583-9213
