Reckless driving is known to cause additional problems when it comes to N-400 (Naturalization) interviews. Mere citation for reckless driving will not have GC repercussions for you. (My own closest friend got ticketed for this very same offense in Virginia where the cop warned him that he could have jailed him, but rather not doing it but only citing him to appear before the judge in person. He did not even have a local office transfer.) While reckless driving is very dangerous in that it can land you in jail, a mere citation is not very grave from GC point of view. It is a Class 1 Misdemeanor in certain states, but is certainly not an "Aggravated Felony" for immigration purposes. In certain cases, where reckless driving would have been associated with DUI/DWI, jurisprudence does point to arguments by US Attorneys that such offenses did constitute "aggravated felony for immigration purposes" where the intent to drive under DUI/DWI was the clear mens rea and the weapon used in this case to endanger the victim is the car you drove!!! However, since none of these things apply to you, you must not have any problems whatsoever. This is purely a personal opinion of mine and this doesn't mean that 'reckless driving is OK.' That is not what I am trying to opine. Reckless driving wreaks havoc on your lives and others' and there are immigration repercussions big time. However, in your case, there aren't enough grounds to lose sleep over. Happy Thanksgiving.
