The Difference Between DUI, Wet Reckless & Dry Reckless - A Frequently Asked Question

As stated in the accompanying webpage entitled: "Understanding the Differences Between DUI and a Wet Reckless Plea": I’m often asked: what is a “wet reckless”? A wet reckless is an “alcohol-related” reckless driving. Well, that does not really answer the question, does it?

A wet reckless is a plea to another Vehicle Code Section, Vehicle Code Section 23013 per Vehicle Code Section 23103.5.
