Question: What is the punishment for reckless driving and six counts of public endangerment?
Answer: Reckless driving is a class 2 misdemeanor which is punishable by up to 4 months in jail, up to 2 years probation, and a fine of up to $750.00. In addition, your driving privileges could be suspended for up to 90 days. If you have a prior conviction for negligent homicide, manslaughter, or a DUI, reckless driving becomes a class 1 misdemeanor and you must serve at least 20 days in jail before you are eligible for probation, you may be fined up to $2500.00, and your drivers license will be revoked.
Endangerment is a class 1 misdemeanor which is punishable by up to 6 months in jail, up to 3 years probation, and a fine of up to $2500.00. However, if you endangered someone to the point there was a substantial risk of death, the crime becomes a class 6 felony, which is punishable by up to 1.5 years in prison, up to 3 years probation, and a fine of up to $150,000.00, yes, that's $150,000.00.

Reckless Driving and Following to close. Now you gotta hear the story.
I was driving the speed limit ( yes the speed limit 45 in a 45 )on my motorcycle heading to a school. I drove through a green light when i pulled my butt up to the arch of my gas tank where it hits the seat. I streached and cooled my legs off for about 30 seconds. Then i slid back down in my seat and continued driving normal. A cop happend to pas by me and flipped a U. He followed me for over 2 miles. He followed me into a parking lot where he parked behind
