Reducing a DUI/DWI Charge to a “Wet Reckless”
When a plea deal involves reducing a DUI to a reckless driving charge, it's often called a "wet reckless." Read about how these plea bargains work and the benefits getting a DUI reduced to a wet reckless.
Wet Reckless
The term, “wet reckless,” is used to describe a reduced plea arrangement made by a driver arrested for driving while intoxicated. (The driver pleads to reckless driving with alcohol involved -- hence the “wet” reference.) A charge of wet reckless typically carries fewer obligations, punishments, and costs than a traditional DUI/DWI.
