Reckless driving in the Commonwealth is a criminal misdemeanor
offense (as opposed to a mere traffic infraction) and therefore one should
never plead guilty (or no contest) to it.
Your plea, consequently, should be not guilty with a request for
a continuance to give you time to hire an attorney to represent you
in this matter.
