Can I Get Reckless Driving Instead of a DUI?
This falls under “it depends”. It depends on the facts of your case. It depends on the nature of your arrest. It depends on any statements you made to the police. And, most importantly, it depends on whether or not you submitted to a blood alcohol content test. If the test results come back 0.08 or higher, and the testing procedures were properly followed, it becomes rather difficult to plead “down” from a DUI to a reckless driving. Keep in mind, however, that the only way to know if the police followed procedure, from the reason they pulled you over in the first place to the way they prosecuted the case, is to have competent counsel. A Nashville DUI lawyer who knows what to do is your best resource.
