    Careless or reckless driving is one of the most serious moving violations — in many states it is a misdemeanor with jail exposure. An attorney can often negotiate it down to a simple infraction that protects your record.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is reckless driving a misdemeanor in Idaho?

    Yes — with up to six months of jail exposure and a criminal record on conviction. It's a completely different weight class from an infraction and always merits a defense review.

    What is 'inattentive driving' and why does it matter?

    Inattentive driving is Idaho's lesser companion offense — still a misdemeanor but with far lighter maximum penalties. It's the classic negotiated landing spot for reckless charges, and attorneys in our network pursue it as a primary strategy.

    I was charged after a crash on an Idaho highway. How serious is this?

    Crash-based reckless charges get prosecuted harder, and injury facts raise the stakes further. Evidence review — the crash report, witness accounts, road conditions — is where those cases are won or repositioned.

    Will reckless driving suspend my Idaho license?

    The court can suspend on conviction, and the 4 points count toward ITD's accumulation thresholds besides. Avoiding the conviction protects both fronts at once.
