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.
