Quality Defense for Pocatello Clients Facing Reckless Driving Charges
Reckless or inattentive driving are both considered crimes in the state of Idaho. While a charge of inattentive driving is less serious than a charge of reckless driving, being charged with either one can be intimidating. If you find yourself facing either of these charges, it is critical that you contact skilled criminal defense attorney Ron Tyler Bird, Esq. as soon as possible in order to protect yourself from the potential damage you face.
Successful Defense for Reckless and Inattentive Driving Charges
According to Idaho state law 49-1401 (1), reckless driving is defined as driving “carelessly and heedlessly or without due caution and circumspection, and at a speed or in a manner as to endanger or be likely to endanger any person or property.” A reckless driving conviction carries penalties such as jail time, fines, and license suspension, depending on whether this was a first or subsequent offense. The crime of inattentive driving involves a driver who is not as imprudent, and whose endangerment to other people and property is less severe than that of a reckless driver. Like reckless driving, inattentive driving is considered a misdemeanor and also carries consequences such as jail time, fines, and the addition of three demerit points to the person’s driving record. While each case is different, the penalties can affect your life in various and unforeseen ways. Fortunately, Bird Law Offices will carefully listen to the details of your case and fight aggressively to secure you the best possible outcome.
