Witnesses That Can Help in a Reckless Driving Case
The defenses that you can raise in your reckless driving case will depend on the facts of your case. Depending on the defense, having witnesses to support them can be useful. Here are types of witnesses that can help.
Eyewitnesses
A person who witnessed your driving at the time you were charged with reckless driving can corroborate that you were driving safely. For example, they may be able to confirm your speed or that you did not cross a double yellow line. If the individual is a neutral third party that has no stake in the result in your criminal case, his testimony can be especially persuasive.
Expert Witnesses
If you were involved in an accident at the time of your arrest or are challenging the radar gun used to determine your speed or calibration of your speedometer, you may need to hire an expert witness to support your defense. Accident reconstruction, radar gun, and calibration experts can help you prove a technical defense or recreate how a crash occurred to prove its cause if this is an issue in your case.
