All the ticket says is the speed. By law.over 85 (formerly 80) IS reckless.
Speeding tickets are infractions. Reckless is a misdemeanor.
The code says:
"A person is guilty of reckless driving who drives a motor vehicle on the highways in the Commonwealth (i) at a speed of 20 miles per hour or more in excess of the applicable maximum speed limit or (ii) in excess of 85 miles per hour regardless of the applicable maximum speed limit."
Also says:
"A. Every person convicted of reckless driving under the provisions of this article is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
"B. Every person convicted of reckless driving under the provisions of this article who, when he committed the offense, (i) was driving without a valid operator's license due to a suspension or revocation for a moving violation and, (ii) as the sole and proximate result of his reckless driving, caused the death of another, is guilty of a Class 6 felony."
I don't make this stuff up.
