Can a reckless driving charge be expunged?

I don’t want reckless driving to stay on my record, but I’m also not sure what I need to do to get it removed. I got the charge in Maryland

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
You typically will not be able to get a reckless driving charge expunged in Maryland. However, the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) will automatically expunge the offense after a certain amount of time has passed.
In most instances, it will take three years for your offense to be expunged. However, it can take up to 10 years for the charge to be removed in some cases. This usually happens if
you’re a repeat offender
. And if you seriously injured or killed someone as a result of reckless driving, the offense definitely won’t be eligible for expungement.

Who enforces CC&Rs when there is no HOA?
I just moved into this neighborhood and put in a really cool koi pond in the front yard. My next-door neighbor hates it and said they were going to enforce the CC&R, but I don't know how they can. Who enforces CC&Rs when there is no HOA?
