Wet Reckless (enacted January 1982)
Plea Bargin Down from a DUI charge to a 'Wet Reckless' charge
This is a charge to the lesser included offense of violation of 23103. The
term wet reckless does not actual appear anywhere in the statutes.
Instead, a 23103 conviction is specially permitted where (1) the defendant
pleads guilty to a violation of 23103, in satisfaction
of or as a substitute for, an original charge of non-injury drunk driving
23152, (2) the prosecutor states for the record a factual
basis, including facts disclosing whether or not alcohol or drugs were
consumed, and (3) the court advises the defendant of the drunk driving
sentence enhancement consequences of the conviction (23103.5).
Wetreckless 23103.5
1. Counts as a prior conviction if convicted again within 7 years.
2. Insurance companies treat it as a DUI.
A "dry" reckless is also an occasional disposition in a DUI. Where "dry"
reckless is the disposition, there need not (and must
not) be compliance with 23103.5. That's because the separate offense of
reckless driving could have been charged in the first place. Therefore it's
not a satisfaction or substitution (23103.5) for a drunk driving charge. A
"dry" reckless conviction results
where a charge of violation of 23103 is simply added to the complaint as an
offense that could have been charged originally,
the defendant pleads guilty to it, and the DUI charge is dismissed.
To be certain that the conviction will not become a DUI sentence enhancement
in the future, be sure to state that the conviction is
understood by all to be "not in accordance with 23103.5". And be sure the
clerk understands that Disposition Code "R" does not go on the abstract sent
to the DMV.

WET RECKLESS PENALTIES
Approximately 17 years ago, the legislature created a new statute known as
"wet reckless" - reckless driving that is related to alcohol (Vehicle Code
Section 23103.5). It is a bazaar fiction that there is no requirement that
there is any reckless driving. The legislature's purpose was to encourage
plea bargains in close cases - giving defendants a reason to plead guilty
and yet giving to government a way to get convictions. The following are the
approximate usual penalties imposed for cases reduced from a DUI to a "wet
reckless" (as of March 1999):
$600 - 1,200.00 in fines;
three years of "informal probation
It is important to remember that a person who receives this reduction is
still viewed as having suffered a "prior" DUI conviction should they receive
another DUI arrest in the next seven years. This means you are treated the
same by the DA and the judge as if you had pled to a DUI instead of the wet
reckless. DMV and insurance companies treat the charges the same also (Two
points against your license and increased insurance premiums). A "wet"
reckless conviction occurs where the prosecution reduces a
