Normally a second degree misdemeanor is only punishable by a maximum of 60 days in jail.

An Osceola County reckless driving charge is also enhanceable. A second or subsequent conviction is punishable by up to 180 days in jail, probation or a fine between $50 and $1,000. These cases have defenses and the state attorney's office must prove the alleged reckless driving was willful. Negligence is not sufficient to sustain a reckless driving conviction. Speeding alone is not sufficient to establish reckless driving unless the state can show the driving endangered person or property.
