Yeah DUI is worse, more of a stigma to it.

If you mean 1st offense DUI then it would be worse. DUI's are always going to be worse. reckless driving could be anything depending on your state. for instance in oklahoma swerving, going 20 over the speed limit, things like that could get you reckless driving. easily justifiable by i dropped my phone and tried to pick it up took my eyes off the road swerved and they pulled me over. DUI however means you drove with an illegal amount of substance (alcohol, drugs, etc) in your system period no doubt about it. punishment is also more strict on a DUI

A DUI is a more serious charge than reckless driving.

Depends upon their relative classifications under your state's penal code.
