Can a DUI Be Reduced to Reckless Driving?
If you have been charged with DUI in Florida, one of the most common questions is whether the charge can be reduced to reckless driving.
A reduction to reckless driving—often referred to as a “wet reckless”—can significantly reduce the long-term impact on your record, insurance, and driving privileges.
However, not every case qualifies, and the possibility of reduction depends on the facts of your case and how it is handled early on.
This often depends on:
Weaknesses in the State’s evidence
Issues with the traffic stop or arrest
Problems with breath or field sobriety testing
Overall strength of the case
A reduction is not automatic—it typically requires strategic negotiation or legal challenges. You can contact us for a free consultation on your case.
