    You will not lose your liscence as long as you fight it. I have had 2 reckless and several speeding tickets in sovietcalifornia. Pay the lawyer the 1500-2500 to negotiate the plea and stay out of trial. You have zero chance at a trial. An officer just has to prove a willful disregard for property or persons. His opinion and testimony is enough for a jury. Get a lawyer asap and they can exploit any misconduct or paperwork errors.

    Maybe volunteering to participate in some Driver Safety courses would help out in court.

    Mavericks don't go that fast and they only have half a seat belt which he can't see you had on :rolleyes:. Your gear box required adjustment so it seemed you were wondering. A mechanic friend adjusted it for you.. Sentence reduced :D

    Get a loan. Borrow money from a friend ask to make payments to the lawyer. Having done this twice it is a necessity. First time I tried to negotiate and I got reamed.

    Some good advice in here, some :bs: but in the end its up to you what you do. I fought a 35 mile a hour over in Idaho, by seeing prosecuting attorney first. We agreed on driver safety classes, and I volunteered on my own to do 30 hours community service...which was spread out over 6 months. The fine was only $80 could of been $900 with a 2 years suspended license, and a impound fee out the wazoo.

    Sorry for being the hardass of looming doom in this thread.

    But reckless driving is a misdemeanor offence, and it is a big black cloud on your driving record, background checks, etc. Most places cannot differentiate dry reckless from wet reckless and throw you under the same bus. Just trying to help you out man.
