Reckless Driving Pleas in Pennsylvania DUI Cases

If you're charged with a Pennsylvania DUI, the district attorney may offer you a chance to plead guilty to reduced charges and/or diminished repercussions in a plea bargain. Your best option in your Pennsylvania DUI case may be to take your case to trial, but in some cases a skillfully negotiated plea bargain may offer the most favorable outcome. A skilled Pennsylvania DUI attorney from Levow & Associates can help you determine whether a plea bargain such as reckless driving is in your best interests.

Pleading guilty to reckless driving has considerable advantages over a Pennsylvania DUI conviction. If you are offered this type of plea bargain, you should seriously consider it. Reckless driving carries far fewer repercussions than a DUI conviction and cannot be considered as a prior conviction if you are again arrested for driving under the influence.

The district attorney is most likely to allow you to plead guilty to reckless driving if your blood alcohol content (BAC) was very close to the legal limit of 0.08 percent. If you plead guilty to reckless driving, you will likely pay a fine and may be placed on probation and/or required to attend classes.

Pleading guilty to reckless driving in a Pennsylvania DUI plea bargain may offer the best opportunity to resolve your driving under the influence case. A qualified Pennsylvania DUI defense attorney from Levow & Associates will help you to find the best possible resolution in your driving under the influence case.
