Reckless driving is considered by the State of New Jersey as a
misdemeanor traffic offense if no one was injured and no accident
occurred.
For a conviction of Reckless Driving, 5 points are added to your
driving record. This point system is used by most states and is used
to access someone?s driving history. Derogatory points add up and
should you reach a total of 12 or more points on your driving record
the Motor Vehicle Commission will issue a notice of scheduled
suspension of your driving privilege.

?How about misdemeanor? Unlike in VA it is a criminal charge??
Again, reckless driving is considered by the State of New Jersey to be
a misdemeanor traffic offense if no one was injured and no accident
occurred.
?If not, what are the implications and can I still get another lawyer
to try to do something about it??
If you pled guilty and your case has been adjudicated, the matter is
over. There is no appeal process or legal recourse for you to change
your plea so you can have the case retried if you plead guilty.
?Will I be required to report whenever if I am asked if I have any
criminal or misdemeanor charges? such as for employment purpose.?
Probably not, but it depends on the employer. If you are applying for
a sensitive position then your application should be fairly specific
about the kind of history the employer is interested in.
?Do I have a criminal record now??
Yes, in a sense. Your criminal history will indicate a misdemeanor
traffic violation on your record. By most standards however, this is
not considered a serious conviction and you are far from being
considered a criminal.
