What defense can be used to get out of a reckless driving ticket in MD?

Reckless driving requires that the police officer establish that you were operating your vehicle with a wanton or willful disregard for other people or property. It is often difficult for the police officer to prove this beyond a reasonable doubt. Many actions constitute negligence and not recklessness. Make sure you request a trial and not a waiver hearing. This is a 6 point ticket so you may want to consider hiring a lawyer.

Your odds of having this ticket reduced or eliminated will improve greatly if you hire a local attorney rather than trying to do this yourself.

How did the officer determine you were going too fast? Wanton disregardfor the safety of others in a private parking lot? Why is a forklift different than another vehicle? I'd fight it..........you probably need an attorney.
