Tiger Asks for Mulligan; Promises to Keep Driver in Bag

[12thMan]

The FHP just held their presser and all Woods will be charged with is reckless driving. He'll have to ante up $164.00. No charges, no investigation, no nothing. Case closed folks.

So the $164 is the fine for reckless driving? If I'm correct RD is a major violation which "could" have jail time so you have to appear in court and not just send in the money. Maybe that why they charged him with reckless driving and not some other type of violation.

Well, technically, it was careless driving. Since no other vehicles, persons or limbs or passengers were involved or injured, it wasn't reckless driving. So charges won't be pursued. This isn't specific to Woods, it's the state law appearantly.
