What is the definiton of reckless driving in TN?

Question

I have looked all over the internet and I for some reason cannot seem to find it. How many Mph over is considered reckless driving & what kinds of fines do you get? I was pulled over last night going 55 in a 35 which is 20 mph over. I was not familiar with that area and I honestly did not know the speed limit was 35. 35 actually seemed ridiculous for that area anyways. The policeman let me go with just a warning. He did not note on the warning how much over I was going. I am just curious how close I was to getting a reckless driving ticket?

Answer 1

Well, I know that in Alabama 15 MPH over the limit is considered reckless driving. I would imagine it's something similar for Tennessee.
