Field notes
A speed-limit ladder pairs posted limits from 25 to 70 mph with the thresholds the site says bring a reckless-driving charge. The page also lays out potential consequences and cites state statutes and DMV information. Its account of a Florida driver receiving unsolicited lawyer letters gives the cost section a personal point of entry, with quoted fees for the same first-offense case ranging from $300 to $1,900.
