A: The total amount includes fines and court costs and fees-----the amount of the court costs and fees vary by jurisdiction. The back of the ticket most likely has a telephone number you can call to ask for an amount. Reckless operation is a misdemeanor in Louisiana and if you pled guilty to the state statute, your punishment could be a fine of not more than two hundred dollars, or imprisonment for not more than ninety days, or both. If you have been ticketed with reckless operation, then most likely you have to appear in court-----all this said, you should not handle this alone---you should contact a traffic ticket attorney in your area to represent you on these two matters---the cost to pay an attorney now will be a savings in compared to the increase in monthly auto insurance premiums you would have if you were found guilty of both charges. Good luck.
