Arkansas classifies reckless driving as a misdemeanor offense and treats it seriously in court. Understanding the charge, the facts, and your options early is critical.
Arkansas point system â what is at stake
Arkansas Driver Services uses points to flag risky driving. Most moving violations add 3 to 8 points. Accumulating points can trigger license actions and higher insurance premiums. Reckless driving is an 8-point offense under state guidance.
Traffic Ticket and Traffic Violation Defense in Little Rock, Arkansas
Traffic tickets in Arkansas can put your driverâs license and insurance rates at risk. Arkansas uses an administrative point system where most moving violations add 3 to 8 points to your record, which can lead to restrictions or suspension if points stack up quickly.

Frequently asked questions
Is it best to get a lawyer for a traffic ticket?
In many cases, yes. A lawyer can often reduce fines, prevent points on your license, and help you avoid insurance increases. For drivers with commercial licenses, prior violations, or risk of suspension, hiring counsel is especially important.
What is the best plea for a traffic ticket?
There is no universally âbestâ plea. The right choice depends on the facts of your case, your driving history, and the potential penalties. Many drivers benefit from negotiating a reduced charge or deferred adjudication instead of pleading guilty outright. Consulting a lawyer helps you understand which option protects your record.
How much does an attorney cost for a traffic violation?
Costs vary depending on the complexity of the violation and the attorneyâs experience. Simple infractions may cost a few hundred dollars, while more serious tickets like reckless driving or excessive speeding can cost more. Many attorneys offer flat fees for traffic cases, so you know the cost upfront.
What not to say in traffic court?
Avoid admitting guilt, blaming the officer, or making statements that contradict the citation. Never guess about facts or speeds. Itâs best to remain respectful, stick to the facts, and let your attorney handle arguments on your behalf.
