What speed is considered reckless driving in Oregon?
I want to visit Crater Lake this fall, but I don’t have all that much time. I thought about going a bit faster through most of the state, but I’m worried about reckless driving. Is there a certain speed that’s considered reckless driving in Oregon?

While no set speed is considered
reckless driving in Oregon
, it has some of the strictest penalties of any state if you’re convicted.Oregon
defines reckless driving as operating a vehicle upon a highway or other premises in a manner that endangers the safety of persons or property. Whether you are charged is up to the judgment of the officer who pulls you over, but penalties include:- Up to one year in jail
- Fines of up to $6,250
- Automatic 90-daylicense suspension
- Up to five years of supervision or probation
With marks on your record, you will face a drastic increase in your
