A person can face up to 90 days in jail for their first reckless driving offense. They need to pay anywhere from $25 to $500 in fines. A second offense could mean six months in jail and $5,000 in fines. If road rage leads to property damage, the driver’s reckless driving charge becomes a first-degree misdemeanor. The negligent driver faces a first-degree felony charge if their reckless driving has caused serious bodily harm. Penalties include points toward the negligent motorist’s driver’s license. The number of points depends on the road rage-related traffic violation. Reckless driving is worth four points, and speeding is another three. A person gets three points if they fail to yield, and the failure to stop at a red light is worth four. If an individual receives 12 points within a year, they get a 30-day suspension. The punishment lasts three months if someone gets 18 points in 18 months. A driver has to apply for reinstatement once the suspension ends. Of course, at-fault drivers face punishment from insurance companies after accidents. An insurer typically raises a person’s premium. In Florida, the average cost increase of a policy is 65 percent.
