Reckless driving is a Class 2 misdemeanor in North Carolina. That said, reckless driving is a relatively serious infraction with increasingly dire consequences.
While first-time offenders could face $1,000 in fines and up to 30 days in jail, people with multiple offenses could face higher fines and up to 60 days in jail. Depending on the circumstances, offenders may even lose their licenses.
