Doing 65mph in a 40mph zone in Florida? ?

I got pulled over in West Palm Beach, Fl for doing 65mph in a 40mph zone along with my buddy and we were given a citation for reckless driving: drag racing- the citation for reckless driving is a mandatory court date... what are the consequences for this?

big fine, walking, public transportation, possibly jail time.

they will only suspend your licenses for a period of time. and many fines. i think that is what it says in the florida handbook.

1. Going 20 to 29 miles per hour over the speed limit will be $178.50 plus court cost.

2. Reckless Driving carries a penalty of up to ninety days in jail and a fine of $500.00 plus Court Costs for the first offense. It also carries four points and a criminal misdemeanor record.

3. Racing on Highways or street racing is not just a ticket. It is a misdemeanor criminal traffic offense that is punishable for up to ONE YEAR in jail and a $1,000.00 FINE. If convicted your drivers license will be SUSPENDED for a minimum of one year..

4. Your insurance rates will go out of the roof.

A big fine. Possible license suspension and you may have to go to a drivers ed class before you can get you license back. You are just lucky that they didn't arrest you and impound your car on the spott.
