Legal Question in Traffic Law in Kentucky
reckless driving?
I was cited for reckless driving recently. The officer
stopped me for failure to illuminate headlights, then
charged me with reckless driving because I admitted to
having three beers four hours previous. I passed the
field sobriety test, then was given a breathalyzer. They
said I blew .04, hence the charge. They did not show
me the readout, did not offer me a breath test at the jail,
and would only say that the fact that I consumed alcohol
was justification for the charge. The KRS says that a
test result of .05 or less is presumed not impaired.
Can I fight this and what would be the best approach?

Re: reckless driving?
If this is true, the Judge should discuss the charge. You could drink a case of beer and, in theory, not drive carelessly or recklessly. Hire an attorney.
