⚠️ Reckless Driving in Maryland Now Carries Jail Time — Here’s How to Protect Yourself
⚖️ Big Changes Hit Maryland Roads This Year
As of October 1st, 2025, Maryland has made one of the biggest shifts in traffic law in decades. Speeding 30 mph over the limit and reckless driving are now jailable offenses — meaning a simple traffic stop can turn into a criminal charge that affects your record, license, and freedom.
Attorney Ben Ostroff, known across the state as Maryland’s Ticket Fighter, has been defending drivers for over two decades. From Baltimore City to Cumberland, and from Ocean City to Frederick, Ben represents clients in all 23 Maryland counties — and he’s here to help you understand what this new law means for you.
🏁 What Does the New Law Actually Mean?
Previously, most speeding tickets were payable citations — you could mail a check and move on.
Now, exceeding the speed limit by 30 mph or more or being cited for reckless driving can lead to:
Jail time of up to 1 year
Thousands in fines
License suspension
Increased insurance premiums
Permanent driving record impact
Maryland courts are already taking these cases seriously. Judges are imposing harsher penalties, and prosecutors are treating them like misdemeanor criminal cases — not minor infractions.
💥 Why So Many Drivers Are Getting Caught Off Guard
Speed cameras and radar enforcement zones are popping up everywhere — especially along I-95, I-83, and local highways near Baltimore, Towson, Glen Burnie, Pikesville, and Essex.
Many drivers are learning about the new law only after being cited for what used to be a standard speeding ticket.
If you were recently charged with reckless driving or excessive speeding, don’t take it lightly. You could be facing jail time, license points, or worse — a criminal record that can affect your job, insurance, and ability to drive.
