A: Not very likely at all. Speeding 18 over the limit is a four point demerit conviction. The Reckless Driving conviction last year was six points. It is not enough points to earn an administrative suspension from the DMV. However, you may be able to limit the points assessed on the pending case by hiring a lawyer to go to court. You may be able to get it reduced to a non moving violation or an offense that does not go on your driving record. This will help you in the future if you have additional tickets.
