What is the name of your state? Michigan
This happened a few months ago. I was coming home from a friend's house in the northern regions of the state. Got a little carried away, didn't realize my speed. Crept to 100 and I was gunned before I could slow down. I complied with everything the officer said, he searched my car to make sure I wasn't carrying any illegal drugs or weapons. Wrote my ticket for a Civil Infraction 100/70 speeding ticket. A few days later I called to court to get the information about the ticket. She said it was 4 points and a $230 fine. I paid, and continued on. Yesterday, my mom called the insurance company and we were told that they would not insure me any longer because I had an 8 point reckless driving ticket.
Now, my question is, is it possible I could have been charged with reckless driving, even though there was never mention of it from the officer, on the ticket, or from the court? Not to mention, if i'm not mistaken, reckless driving is a misdemeanor, and I was only written for a civil infraction. I had a 5 over speeding ticket about 6-7 months ago, but no points were added, I simply paid the fine. Also, I am 18 years old.
If more information is needed, please let me know. Thank you in advance.
