Then you should hire a good defense attorney for your son. These cases can often be negotiated down if you have the right representation.

You should get a lawyer and maybe that person can work something out in this case.

He needs a lawyer. Perhaps the reckless driving can be reduced to careless driving. Also, take away his car.

Reckless driving is a crime. He needs an attorney. Get one for him.

100 may be reckless driving and may be a misdemeanor in the District Court. If he just got a non appearance ticket, you could pay the fine. If it is misdemeanor, he will have to go to court. If a misdemeanor, talk to the City Attorney or Prosecuting Attorney and ask for a lesser plea.
