A: You dont pose a question to be answered. Reckless driving carries a suspension with it so its a ticket you probably want to plead not guilty. Stopping you when you parked is not a defense, ao hopefully there are better facts. You probably should do a full conaultation with an experienced traffic attorney who can help you out with the possible outcomes.

A: I'm not seeing anything about DUI here either, but as my fellow attorney correctly stated, a guilty finding on a reckless driving citation carries a penalty of a 6-month driver's license suspension from PennDOT -- so you'll want to fight this in court.

Best of luck to you.
